Moonstone Island is an adventure game where you can fly to dozens of islands to collect local weirdos, grow gardens and repair the locals.
Moonstone Island it’s a massive game with a lot to explore. You can fly between multiple islands, discovering places and getting to know the locals during your year away from home. These different islands have themes, resources specific to the area, and creatures to collect.
Collecting creatures occurs through card battles when a creature faces off against a player. You choose your cards in a turn-based mini-game, trying to make the other creature pass out before yours. You can catch those passed out and also make your monster stronger along the way. When it comes to collecting your little creatures, you can store some of them in a large building, feed them and take them out when you want to fight them.
There’s also a big relationship aspect to the game that reminds me a bit Stardew Valley. You can give gifts and try to talk (or flirt) with these characters. If you do a good job of keeping them interested, you might find yourself on a date where you have to travel to a certain island to meet your potential lover. If you end up passing out or lose track of time, you might end up picking someone up.
I only had a chance to play a glimpse Moonstone Island, but I’ve seen enough of the game to really interest me. If you are someone who loves games and titles like slice of life. Stardew Valleyyou will find yourself sinking too many hours into this game.
Moonstone Island is currently in development, but in the meantime you can add it to your Steam wishlist.
