Moonstone Island was a game I was playing throughout the three showcases and having fun with. It is a mix genre game being a farm simulator and Monster Taming.

Gameplay

You go to different islands to collect plants and sell them to grow them. The combat is a card based system. Monsters cards will line up and a set at the bottom of the screen will come up after picking the best ones to knock down defenses and eventually knocking out the opposing monsters you win and can level up and get better cards. The types of monsters can help in battle certain types have advantages over others. I find the system harder to get used too if you haven’t played something like Slay the Spire to understand the system, but overall enjoyable.

I liked this game and it was fun it hits a good balance between the more relaxing farm simulator aspects and the more chaotic card gameplay. it was a stranger choice but not unwelcome. The characters were memorable, the monster design is good, and good pixel art style.
