'''''Momodora: Reveris Under the Moonlight''''' is a platform action adventure game developed by [[Bombservice]] and published by [[Playism]] on 2016-03-04 for [[Windows]] and then ported to several other platforms. It is the fourth game in [[Momodora (universe)|Momodora series]]. It is a [[Metroidvania]] style game developed in [[GameMaker Studio]].

I got this game as part of a Humble Bundle, and the screenshots looked cool enough for me to play it. Once I started playing I found it to be a pretty decent Metroidvania.

==Status==
I own this game on Steam and have beaten the true ending.

==Review==
* '''Overall:''' 5/10
* '''Best Version:''' Not sure

===Good===
* The game is neither too hard nor too easy.
* The background graphics and sprite animation are well-drawn, particularly the bosses.
* Ordinarily, I don't like insta-death (spikes, water, etc.) in a Metroidvania, but the map has so many save points, and the player has so little health, it's actually not that bad, and adds to the difficulty.
* The game nicely takes advantage of game pad rumbling.

===Bad===
* Despite reading all the dialogue from the NPCs I didn't have the slightest idea what was going on. I just explored new areas of the map, killed bosses, collected items, and so forth. It was still fun, but I wish the story was more enforced.
* The background music, while moody and ambient, is a bit dull.
* Most of the items aren't very useful. Occasionally I'd find a use for one or two, but I mostly had the magnet stone and healing flower equipped at all times.
* You're only given two options for game pad configurations, and neither are my favorite. I wish there was a fully customizeable setup.
* You often stumble upon a boss which usually kills you the first time. I wish the designers made it a bit more obvious when you were about to enter a boss room.
* The ending is pretty dull.

===Ugly===
* Nothing.
