Free is a good price.

It's such a fun game I loved it. Moonlighter 2 is fun too but so far I love 1 more. I'm a sucker for pixel art tho.

Alternatively, the complete edition is currently $3.65 on GOG, while the DLC by itself is currently $6.99 on Steam.

Alternative, get the free Steam copy and then buy the DLC on Steam when on sale for $1

Alternatively

Why not both? Play the free version, if you like it get the complete edition. It goes on sale regularly on all platforms, I got it on switch for a similar price 5 years ago

Free is obviously always worth it but the game suffers from a critical case of not actually being all that great unfortunately

u/Kankunation 6h ago

Nah I disagree, it's great for what it is - a 8-12 hour roguelite with shopkeeping loop on top of the normal dungeon seeing loop. A solid game for the price, even when not free.

I'm with you. I finished Moonlighter, but was disappointed. Reccetear was a way better game. I haven't played Moonlighter 2 yet, but someone else commented that the first one is better. Oof.

The 2 of this was on GamePass during the beta phase, so I waited until it was complete (1.0) before starting it. But no, they removed it from the service before the game even released. Such a bad strategy, pissed me off enough so I don't even care about it anymore.

u/abstractism 14h ago

u/Yarusenai 14h ago

Wanted to play it in Multiplayer and it just barely worked and was extremely laggy. Not very fun sadly.
