Moonlighter is opening up shop and slaying monsters on Nintendo Switch

Digital Sun’s debut game Moonlighter is all about pulling a double shift in a fantasy role-playing world. As a shopkeeper by day and an adventurer by night, you’ll be slaying creatures, selling wares, and getting those gold pieces. It’s published by 11 Bit Studios, and it’ll be coming to Nintendo Switch along with PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. It’s slated for a Q1 release in 2018.

Moonlighter takes inspiration from such games as Carpe Fulgur’s Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale, which had a similar concept. However, it also draws influences from roguelikes like Cellar Door Games’ Rogue Legacy and Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl’s The Binding of Isaac. As a result, Moonlighter is an action RPG with procedurally generated dungeons along with colorful and adorable pixel art.
