It seems like retro-style rogue-lites have been popping up more and more frequently in the indie game scene, and with this increase, it can be hard to start out. Digital Sun’s first release, Moonlighter, tries to stick its head above the rest with its blend of familiar and unique. In Moonlighter, you adventure into mysterious, ever-changing dungeons in the hopes to find riches and glory the deeper you delve. Something we have all down countless times; however, this game eschews from the cliche in its interesting take on selling your treasures.
