What players say
The game feels like it has a lot more potential. It could have done more, and it often feels like something is missing. Even so, it's very fun to play, and the loot and selling system is much better and more convenient than in the previous game. I really enjoyed using all the different weapons.

Moonlighter is a roguelite shopkeeping RPG where you sell loot by day and dive into dungeons by night.

It's okay for what it is. It feels too tedious for me. Trying to figure out what each item is worth by watching the customer's faces through trial and error, raising and lowering prices based on demand, switching out items constantly as they're bought, fighting in a dungeon while keeping track of your items and stats--it all just became too overwhelming.
