Our take on 月出之时
Players who do not read Chinese will hit the main wall at the story, menus, and written clues. Others may bounce off the repeated dungeon loop, especially when returning to the same areas to fight refreshed monsters or pursue later progression.
What is 月出之时?
Moon Out of Time is a casual, retro-style 2D RPG starring Yue Lu, a young deity who secretly follows a group sent to stop a fallen god from provoking conflict between races.
The game combines story progression with dungeon battles, repeated enemy encounters, light character development, equipment changes, outfits, and a cat companion. In the human village, players can rest, prepare food that restores health, change gear, and speak with residents. Combat can produce experience, items, and currency. Movement uses the keyboard, while menus and some actions use the mouse. Players can choose between a speed-focused setup using shoes and ranged attacks or a stationary defensive setup using a shield and gloves. The game supports Chinese only.
