How incredibly generous of Nintendo Switch to offer means to discuss games that we might have otherwise overlooked. Take today’s prime example: Moonlighter, which is not only coming to Switch but also to PC, PS4, and Xbox One next year.
Moonlighter transforms you into an RPG shopkeeper, entrusting you with the responsibility of fulfilling the highly demanding needs of adventurers. Simultaneously, you gradually enhance your inventory and shop, and you can even hire assistance if necessary. However, by night, you also become an adventurer yourself, venturing into dungeons to acquire more loot for sale and to discover powerful equipment to keep for your own use.
Everything is presented in a captivatingly retro style that bears a resemblance to, and seems to play quite similarly to, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and that is certainly not a drawback in any way.
Not too long ago, Moonlighter was a Kickstarter campaign initiated by the Spanish team Digital Sun, where it successfully raised $135k. Since then, it has been taken under the publishing wing of This War of Mine company 11 bit Studios.
