MoonlighterThis game is best described as a clever mashup ZeldaAnd Animal Crossing. During the day, you’ll find yourself taking on the role of a humble shopkeeper, selling wares, trading with vendors, and upgrading your store. During the wee hours of the night, however, you’ll be tasked with exploring randomly generated dungeons around the town, which nets you loot for crafting higher-quality items you can sell during the day.
The game’s dungeon crawling element will feel familiar to anyone who has played any roguelike in the past several years, with top-down combat that looks and feels like early Zelda titles. Each run is about digging as deep as you can in order to get better loot. If you die, you will lose most of your goods.
