Critic Reviews
- It’s a little bit Zelda, it’s a little bit Golden Axe, and even a little bit full-blown art history project. Depending on how and when you play, it’s short length may turn you off, but the replay value is definitely sky-high.
Jaime Carrillo · Nov 09, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - If you’re looking for a light co-op game on Switch, Moon Hunters is fantastic, and the simple combat and short length are more of a boon than a hindrance. But if you want something deeper and long-lasting, this falls short of that, especially as a single-player-only affair. Still, weaving your own legends makes for a good time, even if it’s short-lived.
Neal Ronaghan · Nov 08, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Moon Hunters is easily summed up by saying it’s akin to a Dungeons and Dragons-style “choose your own adventure”. Some choices you make can play out very differently with your third, sixth, or twentieth playthrough. Every tale has the same start and end, but the middle can be incredibly varied. It’s a sumptuous title in both story and presentation; with visuals that could stand up next to Hyper Light Drifter and sound design that sweeps through orchestral themes and folk songs. It’s a shame that the fighting mechanics feel a little too similar because the story itself is a real treat.
Dan Lipscombe · Nov 03, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - All told, Moon Hunters is a wonderful roguelike RPG that is quite unlike anything else available on the Switch, offering a bite-sized, engaging adventure that is extremely replayable and can be enjoyed both alone and with friends.
Mitch Vogel · Oct 28, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Moon Hunters is certainly an ambitious idea from Kitfox Games, and for the most part it hits the right notes. There's an interesting world and story on show that complements the unique, randomly generated areas, enjoyable combat, and personality trait mechanics, so it's unfortunate that its constant attempts to promote replayability cause things to fall a little flat.
Brandon Marlow · Jul 29, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Moon Hunters is worth playing, just not on PlayStation 4. The lack of online play is a devastating blow to the overall package. Throw in the constant technical issues, and you have a bad port of what is a really interesting game. Check this out on PC if you can, as it’s more fully featured and runs better.
Tyler Treese · Jul 25, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Moon Hunters doesn't give you the time to truly nestle into its world in one sitting, relying instead on the idea that they’ll keep coming back to uncover more and more with each successive playthrough. I wish I could say that at some point it all started to come together for me, but it didn't. It never felt like I was getting enough out of those playthroughs to make them truly worthwhile.
Janine Hawkins · Mar 21, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Moon Hunters is more than the retro-styled action game that screenshots would lead you to believe, but it is also less than the “personality test RPG” that it sets out to be. A fun evening with friends could be had, but don’t expect to find a lasting experience.
James Sweeting · Nov 06, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - A compact roguelike RPG with an interesting conceit, Moon Hunters falls down a little with repetitive action and clunky execution.
Jon Mundy · Nov 03, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - A pixelated Diablo-like with a beautiful presentation and an unfortunate lack of content, Moon Hunters is hard to recommend to anyone other than people with three friends locally.
