So the developer pretty much thought "what if you were playing Zelda, but the game was all about looting the dungeons and selling your stuff, instead of being a hero and rescuing a princess?".
From all the things I've heard about the PC version, this seems a very fair score. I was hoping this was going to be a great game and something I'd play on the channel, but I think it'll be a more "for fun" game I play on the side once it goes on sale. It's a total shame that it never came out on day and date with the other systems, hopefully it'll do well and maybe we will see a sequel that'll improve on some of the more things that make is a little more meh than great.
I've had this preordered since October 2nd and the physical release keeps getting delayed, at least here in the states. Just got another email from Best Buy, now it's November 9th. It's only available for ship to home, apparently BB stores won't be carrying it. Oh well with GCU and my reward certificate it was $22, and there's plenty to play in the meantime. Nice review as always.
@@WavyVaporizers Mine will arrive sometime today via UPS. I went with Best Buy because I'm still part of GCU and therefore got 20% off. Also had a $5 BB reward certificate, so I paid $22.
@@WavyVaporizers Funny thing is I was forced to order it for home delivery with no option for store pickup. I looked today and they actually do have it in stock in stores. Only the switch version though, PS4 is still available online only.
@@420danmaynard oh wow thats crazy weird usually its the other way around with switch only having it online in the eshop or from some special retailer like limited games but that site every game is sold out as soon as it becomes available to purchase
Still haven't seen anyone compare the idea to Dragon Warrior 4, for a part of that game you basically are a shopkeeper who goes out after hours to earn money and gain items to sell so that you can eventually buy some good equipment.
Game looks great. I love pixel art. Especially in platforming or turn based. But I might pass on this. I guess it wasn't what I was hoping it'd be. Oh well Also, can you review *Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix* ? I just discovered the game earlier today and played a demo of the previous one on my 3DS. The switch version looks way smoother and nicer and more detailed. And since this is a new Mercenaries game, I wanna know what it's like! Thank you :D I've also looked up the game review, but only trailers have shown up and just reviews for the Saga collection
SwitchWatch -My ASS hurts!! I just came from Game Stop, only was going to pre order the Bendy game for the Switch and I walked out with Wild Guns for Switch as well as two 3DS games and 2 Wii games. Ouch!!
@@SwitchWatch Oh, sorry. I actually have one more question to ask as I couldn't find a conclusive answer while doing research. Is there any DLC available for the Switch?
@@SwitchWatch Not so sure. I might pick it up 2nd hand. Physical release? Prob not, eh? If not, maybe a sale. It doesn't seem as deep as I hoped. 7.5 decent though.
While a neat concept, the roguelites with the risk vs reward theme is so overdone on the eshop. I'd rather see more unique games get spotlighted like Wandersong.

That’s a pretty good summary!
Link goes MGTOW
Nice review James, 👍🏽👍🏽.. $30 isn’t a bad price for an awesome game 😁😁
Haha very true!

Yeah totally agree, it’s a good game that’s a bit short of being great but with a sequel I think they could get there

Gamestop has it go get it

I hope you enjoy ir

Very good point!
Great review, it was better than IGN 🤗
That's quite some praise! Thank you very much indeed :)
It is that why I just subbed. Iam looking forward for more Reviews 🤩
Going to be buying this Monday. I just hope it's not a short game and that it has replayability.
Your looking at 12 hours main run, probably another 6 of other stuff
@@SwitchWatch ahh gotcha
@@SwitchWatch You're*
Yep thanks!
Thanks for the good review, James. I will check out the physical version
Cheers Ryan! I hope you enjoy it - there’s an amazon link if you want to pick it up from there on the description

Thanks for the comment! Mercenaries Wings isn’t under way but thanks for the heads up - if we can we willl
Kind of reminds of Zelda in 2d. Since Nintendo is not gonna make 2d Zelda game anymore, this will have to do 😊
It does have a bit of that feel in the dungeons
When did Nintendo say they were never going to make a 2D Zelda again? How about you keep your pessimistic speculating to yourself eh dipshit?
The fabulous Romero Brothers....for their next trick will be ............. Rock on guys!
Haha Reagan you are solid - I bet your wallet is hurting with all these games

Great review James!

Barg!
Fantastic thorough review thanks
You are most welcome 👍
thanks for the the review. i was contemplating for a long time if i shld get it on steam (due to price) or switch eshop (portability n controller)
Thanks you any my pleasure
@@SwitchWatch decided to support u by gettin the physical :)
Hi there.
Would you guys say that Moonlighter is worth getting at 9.99 USD (£8.99)?
Very much so. I have the Signiture Edition whichnis £39,99 so very much worth it in our opinion.
@@SwitchWatch Thank you for your quick reply!
@@your-hermajestyismypronoun7372 Lexi, you are most welcome 👍
@@SwitchWatch Oh, sorry. I actually have one more question to ask as I couldn't find a conclusive answer while doing research. Is there any DLC available for the Switch?
@@your-hermajestyismypronoun7372 For Moonlighter? Not yet
So it's on sale for $12. Worth?
Great review James. 👍
Hey many thanks pal!
Love this game and great review guys keep up the good work :)
Many thanks! 😀
How short is it? Is there any long term replay value?
top review boyo, got my eye on this 1. maybe down the line
Cheers little! Appreciated it
Awesome review, thank you!
My pleasure - glad you enjoyed it 👍
Brilliant review James!
You guys are awesome!
Thank you very much Carmen!
Great review!
Thank you very much
Is it released tomorrow isnt it?? Been looking forwar for it since first look, before summer
Yeah exactly it’s our tomorrow
@@SwitchWatch thaanks
Good review man
Thanks Keith!
Course man
My worst comment yet hahaha
Wow, another game that would have my interest if it weren't for the fact that it's a roguelike. Ah well.
Not keen on the roguelike concept in general?
@@SwitchWatch Nope, I hate permadeath. It's like going back to the NES with no continues/limited continues.
It might call itself roguelike, but you just get bounced out of the dungeon if you die, it's not that bad.
Good review! I’ll probably get it later on. Maybe if there’s a discount
Thanks very much!
$7 on US eshop right now!
Been waiting for this one.
What do you think now it’s here?
@@SwitchWatch Not so sure. I might pick it up 2nd hand. Physical release? Prob not, eh? If not, maybe a sale. It doesn't seem as deep as I hoped. 7.5 decent though.
This game or banner saga
While a neat concept, the roguelites with the risk vs reward theme is so overdone on the eshop. I'd rather see more unique games get spotlighted like Wandersong.
Fair enough buddy, certainly not for everyone and there are a lot of roguelikes to choose from.
This game looks amazing
👍😀
Definately a favorite of mine and my g.f also enjoyed it quite a bit. you were right it is some peoples favorite on the switch
Great game!
Got this for 4$!
Bargain!
@@SwitchWatch yeah! What a great game been having tons of fun for anyone who can find at a decent price would recommend
day one buy 4 me
I hope you enjoy it mate!
Was it worth it?
why so expensive on switch, so much cheaper on steam >.
I know, it's shame but Switch prices for games are always a tad higher. The price we pay for the port.
it's 6€ rn!
So does escaping actually cost you some of your hard earned cash???
Yeah it does, you can also put a portal in that lets you go back to a certain point but that costs even more
Only 12 hours to complete? Man, this game looked so good until you dropped that line. I'll pass.
Yeah though you can get about 16 hours out of it
why are they making shitty games like this? if this can be played on android id play it on android...its stupid
