One item in particular allows Kaho to change to a more agile and faster form at the cost of being able to use other items in battle, adding variety to the gameplay. She also gets a plethora of items that enable her to use different defensive and offensive spells. Kaho uses a large magical leaf for melee attacks and a bow to attack from range. Gameplay in Reverie Under the Moonlight is a mixed bag. That the developers choose not to more deeply flesh out the world and characters is a real missed opportunity.Īpparently hitting someone with a large leaf can be quite painful.

The story is barely there, with very little plot and very few events between setting up the premise at the beginning and reaching the game’s ending, and the limited number of lore texts aren’t sufficient to jump-start players’ imaginations. Unfortunately - and despite a handful of interesting locations and NPCs encountered throughout the game - the short playtime clocking in at just under 5 hours isn’t enough to adequately develop it. What exists is very effective, and adeptly creates a sense of mystery about the events that take place. In addition to the lore, the story features a few powerful moments, and the game’s true ending is surprisingly satisfying.

It is mostly lore-driven and while its lore is elusive, it starts to paint a very interesting world full of intrigue.

#MOMODORA REVERIE UNDER THE MOONLIGHT PS4#
With the PS4 version, the series makes its first foray onto consoles. While the first Momodora is very reminiscent of Cave Story in terms of both graphics and gameplay, Reverie Under the Moonlight finds its own aesthetic and experiments with new and interesting gameplay mechanics. The series has continued to improve over the years, culminating in a fun and highly polished entry in this most recent release. Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is the fourth entry in a Metroidvania series that started as a love letter to Cave Story and Mega Man.
