Reverie in the Moonlight

I finished my first playthrough, so maybe a little early for thoughts. This mostly caught my attention because of how adorable it is. You go through 20 waves of enemies, building a little plushie battalion and collecting items that affect your stats. You don’t do any actual fighting, the plushies do it for you. What you can do is run around to avoid enemies, collect health + exp, and set off a flare that will gather the plushies toward you. The items increase and decrease certain values, so you’ll want to balance out the negatives as much as you can. You also earn costumes that affect stats and force you to use specific plushie sets (certain animals, close range only, long range only). Judging by the mode completion achievement and playing a bit into my second run, I’m a little surprised the story wasn’t spaced out across multiple runs, or for there to be multiple arcs/dreams/locations. It does feel a little light on content right now (but with a ton of achievements for each costume and difficulty combination). Being stuck in a dream with plushies defending you has a lot of potential. And to be fair, the game is on version 0.5.5, so a whole lot more could still be coming. I’m ha…

this game is very simple and i have complicated feelings about it - i had fun experimenting with different builds (ways to play are plentiful) but i wish player had more ways to affect game other when by avoiding beeing hit (button for dodging would be also nice). i think i just wanted a bit more ways of skill expression, but i not sure if it's something game itself is trying to be. controls feel nice, music does to, art is just lovely - i'd love to get artbook if there were one and look closer at plushies sprites.

its cute i like it

I'd recommend, getting one thing out of the way first: this is pretty nakedly a Brotato retheme. It's good because it's source material is good. With that said, as such goes it's reasonably well done. The chosen theme is creative and distinct, the game does bring a few of its own ideas to the table, and it's reasonably well executed. The art style is consistent and there is a sparse bit of story to the game. Good games invite imitation, and as both games are reasonably cheap I feel like there's room to have both: if you like one, try the other, and if you prefer one theme better, get that one first.

i love it

very good game the most logical step once you realise you can destroy the monsters but the stronger/elite whatever there called bad guys are a bit uncanny aside from that its a very good game
