Early on it becomes apparent that exploring these dungeons is one of your top priorities, regardless of the dangers they contain. There are traps, monsters and treasure chests galore in these maze-like environments, so you’d better have brought your best critters to keep you safe as you look around. Monster battling in Moonstone Islands is card based, with each monster in your party of three having an individual deck of cards to use on opponents. Each turn you have three energy to spend on playing cards, then the baddies get a chance to retaliate.

Early on you’ll mainly have cards that either deal damage or break the armour of the enemy, but before you know it you’ll be adding status effects and drawing extra cards to find the perfect deadly combo. Taking inspiration from the likes of Stardew Valley and Pokémon alike, Moonstone Island is more than what the surface-level view shows. It fuses the farm-and-forage loop with deck-building combat. When I tamed spirits and prepared to fight, I automatically assumed the game would inherit the Pokémon battle system and I was wrong. Contra: Operation Galuga Switch NSP

Instead, the spirit creatures I tamed imbued me with magical cards on the battlefield and each of those cards offers unique attacks and buffs. Each card that I used in a fight was made to be built around my spirit creature’s synergy which added a satisfying layer of strategy to monster encounters. The special card system escaped the battlefield and was attached to the farming system as well. I was very surprised to learn that I would be able to wield my cards over the success rate of my crops. When tending to my crops I needed to craft specific cards which forced me to balance my deck builds with resource management.

It can become a bit overwhelming, especially for a new player, however, the wielding of cards is something I had to learn to keep progressing in gameplay. With curious delight, I followed the tutorial, muttering angrily to myself that I should have played PC games more prior to playing this one; I’m not used to using a keyboard and mouse, so I swiftly changed over to my Xbox controller. Once that rookie mistake was rectified, I read intently as my in-game mother and father prepared me to embark on a new adventure into the unknown. Much like the start of any Pokemon game.

Your parents care little for the dangers of the world and wave you off almost too eagerly. That being said, Moonstone is different in that it’s a rite of passage/coming-of-age moment, rather than your mum being sick of your crap – proper Kiki’s Delivery Service vibes, right down to you being an alchemist. While you don’t have a cat accompanying you, you have creatures who will become fast, loyal allies. Again, we’re echoing Pokemon here, though that’s never a bad thing, especially with how Moonstone creates a deck turn-based battle system to freshen up the formula.

For me, the most enjoyable facets of Moonstone Island were exploration and creature collecting/battling. These became the primary focus of my gameplay. However, one aspect that initially presented a challenge was identifying which NPC or building corresponded to which shop. This became less confusing as I spent more time in the game. Still, it did pose a minor frustration, particularly given the time-sensitive nature of some in-game activities. Another aspect that left something to be desired was the inventory system. While it mirrors the systems of some similar titles.

It has always been a point of contention for me, especially as a controller-first player. Nevertheless, despite this personal preference, the crafting system overall functions effectively. Throughout my time with Moonstone Island, one consistent element was the game’s beautiful aesthetic. While many indie titles excel in visuals, they often struggle to maintain consistency. Moonstone Island, however, maintains its visual excellence throughout, from the meticulously designed creatures to the captivating character portraits and the enchanting environments.  Contra Anniversary Collection Switch NSP
