    I can see why that dude on IGN plagiarized from you. You have a great structure to your videos and they have a good professional feel to them. I'm looking forward to trying this.

      It’s because they have to pay someone to write it and IGN is not what it used to be. They use to review everything now they just review popular stuff that is going to bring a revenue to the site.

    *My channel needs your support on Patreon and if just a fraction of you gave $1, it would help immensely❗*
    I played Moonlighter on PS4 Pro and I really enjoyed how well it’s systems worked together but had to mark my final verdict down a couple decimals because of roughly over an hour of lost progress across multiple bugs (customers stuck in shop after closing and can’t leave myself) and game crashes (hard crash to dashboard). I contacted the PR team associated with Moonlighter and they are not guaranteeing a day one patch but the team is working on providing one ASAP.

    The shopkeep mechanic is what interests me the most. It looks like it could be really fun. Hopefully the dungeon exploration ends up growing on me, though i'm only a mild fan of Roguelike games.

    • @BoomstickGaming
      @BoomstickGaming  6 лет назад +5

      Sailor Mercury Its really not much of a rogue lite really. More of a normal game progression. If you have played Steam world Dig 1 or 2, its very much that type of risk reward for getting back to town with as much materials as possible and not the end of the world if you die and lose a haul.

    • @toml.9937
      @toml.9937 6 лет назад +5

      If you have a PC, then check out Recettear: An Item Shop Tale. Seems like this game borrowed a lot from that one. Also, there's more focus on the shop in that game.

    there´s even an option to duplicate some items, for example, in 1:15 you moved a golem chisel all to the left, despite of the item having a red square thingy on the superior right corner, u should read or memorize the forms of the items, that 1 chisel could duplicate to 6 if u put it next to any kind of item, keep in mind that the item next to it will transform to the chisel, if u have 10 teeth stones, when u finish that dungeon run, it will duplicate your chisel to 5, pretty neat

    Thank you for your video, I'm sold on this game I'm really looking forward to playing to it !
    Just a question, the music we hear in the background is from the OST of the game ? It would confirm that it's also one of its qualities ! If it's not, which game does it come from ? Thank you ! :)

    • @BoomstickGaming
      @BoomstickGaming  6 лет назад

      Music is from the game. The forest dungeon I believe. It does have a solid soundtrack but I don't really factor in story or sound too much in my reviews because they are not terribly important to me in gaming unless they are insane positives or negatives.

    • @BoomstickGaming
      @BoomstickGaming  6 лет назад +1

      Took me about 8-10 hours on Hard. There are 3 difficulty settings to play on, Normal, Hard, Very Hard. You can continue playing after you beat final boss if you want to max out your shop.

    As switch ver is coming out soon, the cons seems to be pros to me as I would like to enjoy simplistic combat and less thinking during my commute in trains. Unlike Botw or Hollow Knight :S which requires full attention by sitting alone in a room to play properly.

  • @IntroVault
    @IntroVault 5 лет назад

    I really need to go back to Moonlighter. It did get a little repetitive and I didn't even beat the first dungeon. its a lot of filling your bag and going back to sell it, more than going in to beat a dungeon boss. The shop mechanics is quite addicting.

  • @zoe_gamer_girl
    @zoe_gamer_girl 6 лет назад +11

    People comment a lot about the price value of a game without context. I use movies as a point of reference. I spend $8 to watch a 2 hour movie. If I average my spending at $4 an hour then I am willing to spend that much on a video game. This helps me determine if indie game value, that has 6 hours of gameplay as an example, is worth a $20 price tag.

    • @fruitsalad1181
      @fruitsalad1181 5 лет назад +1

      You can not compare the two as movies are linear entertainment while games are abstract. Someone can enjoy 5 hrs of a game, while another person only enjoys 1, while everyone can enjoy 2 hrs of a movie.

I have Steamworld Dig 2 (Excellent game), Celeste (It's good but not the second coming like people say) and looking forward to this one and Hollow Knight. I also got Lovers in Spacetime but it's ONLY good if you got people to play with.

  • @blakearius
    @blakearius 6 лет назад

    I like the review, but would have liked comparisons to existing roguelikes. It takes little bits from a bunch of games like binding of issac and stardew valley. But I don't think anything is particularly strong gameplay wise.

    • @BoomstickGaming
      @BoomstickGaming  6 лет назад

      blake girvan I actually wouldnt even call it a rogue lite to be honest. Its more of a traditional games progression. Just because you lose some materials on death, doesnt make it a rogue lite necessarly. If you lost all your gear and money upon death, or worse yet started the whole game over, I would agree with the term rogue lite applied to this but as it is, if you do consider it a rogue lite, its a "babys first" rogue lite if anything.

  • @trevhart2124
    @trevhart2124 5 лет назад

    I wanted to say, Moonlighter was a fun game while it lasted
    But after you beat the 5th dungeon. Don't expect any replay value.
    You only fight the bosses once. You can't get back into the 5th dungeon. And the previous dungeons aren't even worth going back to.
    Golem through Desert aren't even worth paying visits with their weak enemies and cheap items.
    If I had to make a suggestion, wait till this game gets a discount
