Moonlighter is a role-playing game with "rogue-lite" elements. It follows Will, an adventurous shopkeeper who secretly dreams of becoming a hero. During an archeological excavation, a set of "Gates" were discovered in Rynoka, a small commercial village. People quickly realized that these ancient passages lead to different realms and dimensions. The portals provide brave and reckless adventurers with treasures beyond measure.
Today, the developer announced that Moonlighter was coming to Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4 on May 29, 2018 for $19.99. What's surprising is that it'll even be available on the Windows Store. The title will also get a physical release and a "Signature Edition". Aside from containing a double-sided "Medallion" from the game, the Signature Edition includes an artwork poster and a squishy "Jelly-Monster" that you can repeatedly squeeze all while thinking about how to economically outsmart other merchants in Rynoka.
Aside from the standard adventuring, you can put items on sale, set their price, manage gold, recruit assistants, and upgrade your shop. The title is a hybrid of an old-school Zelda-like action game and a business simulator. However, some shady individuals may want to steal your precious wares so you have to take on thieves and other swindlers.
Getting to know Rynoka's residents and understanding their needs is crucial. Some people may have special quests for you, requesting rare items and offering massive rewards in return. There's also an in-depth crafting and enchanting system essential for progress. Hopefully Moonlighter will be a great experience when it launches next month.
