    The game itself isn't bad, but the port on the switch is awful.
    The loading times are very long (yeah I know it takes time to generate the procedural world, but still, the loading time is PSOne long...), and the game stutter all the time while playing!! Stuttering on a visually poor 2D game on the switch, even on dock mode! That makes no sense, and makes the game really annoying to play    The game itself isn't bad, but the port on the switch is awful.

    I wish someone told me those problem before buying, so I write this review to warn other people to not buy it. At least not on the switch.    … Expand

    This is an older Game. What I realized only today :-) But its no difference if its from today or two years ago. I have seen a few games like this and some of them were better. The issue I have with this one is, that even after playing about one hour, I still dont know what to do. And I should be in a 1/6 of the game...

And I should be in a 1/6 of the game... I cant say, that the graphics are really bad, but neither are they good. What is really horrible is the loading times. When you start the game, it takes almost 2 minutes to let you into the game. And then where you start the mission.. again one minute and a few seconds. In about an hour of game I spent about 10 minutes waiting.. too much for todays games... This is the major letdown. But even if it were blitz fast I wouldnt be happy with the game. There are better options then this one in the same price and game category.

    This is a really cool co-op RPG, nice graphics, interesting design, and terrible loading times.

    Really good casual co-op game. You can play through a campaign in about an hour so perfect for when you want to play something light and quick. Also good because you don't have to get the same people together multiple times to finish it. There's a number of different classes and you can put together a different build of specializations every run. The story is 'different', you piece aReally good casual co-op game.

There's a number of different classes and you can put together a different build of specializations every run. The story is 'different', you piece a narrative together over the course of several playthroughs and it's more about the different stories characters have than what actually happens. My only negative points would be that the loading times at the start of levels are a bit long and we experienced a bit of lag every now and then.… Expand

    If you’re looking for a light co-op game on Switch, Moon Hunters is fantastic, and the simple combat and short length are more of a boon than a hindrance. But if you want something deeper and long-lasting, this falls short of that, especially as a single-player-only affair. Still, weaving your own legends makes for a good time, even if it’s short-lived.

    Moon Hunters is more than the retro-styled action game that screenshots would lead you to believe, but it is also less than the personality test RPG that it sets out to be. A fun evening with friends could be had, but don’t expect to find a lasting experience.

    A compact roguelike RPG with an interesting conceit, Moon Hunters falls down a little with repetitive action and clunky execution.
