What is Moon Hunters?
Moon Hunters is a 2D action RPG set in a Mesopotamian-inspired world where the moon has stopped rising. Alone or in co-op, you choose a character class, fight monsters, explore randomly generated areas, and make decisions that shape your reputation during short, five-day runs.
For you if...
- +you enjoy short co-op adventures with friends nearby
- +you like discovering new encounters across repeated runs
Not for you if...
- −you want a long campaign instead of short runs
- −you expect substantial progression between repeated runs
- −you need built-in online co-op instead of local play
