"Moonlighter is going to be a game you'll pick up, play, and instantly want to tell your friends all about. It encourages discussion – how much a certain item costs, how to navigate the metagame of the increasingly tricky Resident Evil 4-style inventory system with its cursed items requiring a shuffle of your bag – and feels like, honestly, the endgame of all roguelikes. After that, there isn't much more the genre can hope to accomplish. It's all here in one gloriously gratifying package that will have you coming back for more, more, and more again. An incredible dungeon crawler with a cutesy consumerist twist that'll provide you with some of 2018's best moments – and capital fun it is, too."

About

Sakura Moonlight pairs visual novel storytelling with match-3 puzzle challenges. Yuuki, a demon hunter who can see supernatural threats others miss, teams up with Sumire to stop Enma’s demonic forces at Yomihara Academy. Players navigate dialogue and character interactions while managing match-3 minigames that decide combat outcomes. The story splits into multiple branches where choices shape relationships and the world’s fate. The 27th entry in Winged Cloud’s Sakura series builds on decades of established lore and recurring characters. Its mix of puzzle mechanics and romance-driven plot has drawn praise for balancing action and narrative depth. While best suited for fans already familiar with the series’ history, new players can follow along thanks to integrated summaries of past events. The game maintains a steady pace with minimal filler, focusing on its central conflict and character dynamics.

Storyline

Yuuki, the facelss male protagonist who is a demon hunter. Together with Sumire, his classmate on Yomihara Academy, he tries to protect Tsukimine from Enma, the demon queen, and her horde of minions. Only a few chosen ones can see the demons and fight them, and Sumire's family has fought them for generations. Yuuki on the other hand, is the first in his family.
