Both attack styles can be upgraded slightly throughout your adventure, albeit never significantly so, and the ease of boss battles rarely require top upgrades. Your main form of attack is melee via Kaho’s leaf and ranged attacks with bow in-hand. The combat may be relatively slow, but it is responsive. The combat and traversal isn’t as quick as I’d like - methodical, even - but the game’s enemies and bosses don’t punish you for it. Gameplay-wise, it makes a good first impression. The latter imitated by the use of pixel graphics in a 4:3 aspect ratio as well as pulsating auras representing item pick-ups at the end of levels. It visibly wears its influences on its sleeves ranging from the popular Metroidvania genre and graphics reminiscent of Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP. You’ll make your way inside a castle with several beautiful, distinct areas which house bosses, items, and “crests,” or upgrades, needed to progress.
Reverie tracks priestess Kaho as she ventures out to find the Queen and rid the world of a plague that has affected its inhabitants. Having never played previous iterations myself, I didn’t feel like I missed out on much on the story front.

Reverie represents the first entry in the series to make it to consoles, serving as a prequel to Momodora I-III - the first two released as freeware in 20, respectively - but knowledge of the lore is not required. The independent gaming scene has seen a glut of the “platformer with a quirky art style” in recent years and while Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight doesn’t deviate too far off the path, it still makes a slight mark in the genre. MonsterVine was provided a copy for review purposes.
MOMODORA REVERIE UNDER THE MOONLIGHT CHARACTERS PS4
Platforms: PS4 (Reviewed), Xbox One, PC/Steam A serviceable action platformer that does much with its modest four hour run time but ultimately stumbles with an underwhelming sense of progression and lackluster upgrades.
