“Momodora Reverie Under the Moonlight is a retro adventure with charm, but it runs out of steam a bit too soon.”
Patrick Rost (GamingTrend)
90/100
“Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is a triumphant release, capturing all the nostalgic wonder of 8-bit platforming within a very unique shell. Gloomy, challenging, and only occasionally unfair, Momodora is a fantastic adventure with a fun story and lots of secrets to uncover.”
Kai Powell (Wccftech)
8/10
“From beginning to end, Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight remained a masterful example of a small project with big inspiration.”

33bits | Fernando Sánchez | 85 / 100 | 02-14-2019 | Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight is the fourth installment in the unknown Momodora saga. And to be honest, despite its modest production values, it wastes quality, good design, and good work. With an interesting artistic section, a narrative that progresses as we explore the world around us, a sound section with some almost bucolic themes, and the highlight, a challenging, fun and at times demanding combat, thanks to the fluidity of the animations already how satisfactory your control is. The duration and certain peaks of difficulty are its handicaps, but it is still a highly recommended game. | Read review |
CGMagazine | Jed Whitaker | 7 / 10 | 03-21-2017 | Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is an alright bite-sized gothic metroidvania title about a girl that can turn into a cat and fights with a leaf. | Read review |
COGconnected | Rory Wood | 79 / 100 | 03-25-2017 | The art direction in general, from the backgrounds to enemy and boss design is quite good. | Read review |
Cubed3 | Albert Lichi | 9 / 10 | 02-13-2019 | Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is, without a doubt, one of the finest action-platformers around. Given enough time, players might be able to come up with a couple of nit-picks, but what little there is to complain about simply pales in comparison. This is an adventure that one can’t help but to play through several times over, long after they’ve gotten their money’s worth. To sum it all up, this game is a required play. | Read review |
Destructoid | Nick Valdez | 8 / 10 | 03-30-2017 | But for those who just want to see what that cute girl with horns is doing like I did, Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is a brief, but highly enjoyable time. It can be over before it overstays its welcome and cracks start to show, but even then those flaws aren’t enough to belittle the experience. | Read review |
Digitally Downloaded | Matt C. | 4.5 / 5 stars | 03-16-2017 | That one little gripe notwithstanding, Momodora: Reverie Under the Moon is a fantastic game. I’ve played a lot of games that emulate the design of Castlevania to varying degrees of success, but few that do this good a job of engaging with the theme ‘s that underpin that series. In doing so, Momodora carves its own special niche within the Metroidvania world. | Read review |
Everyeye.it | Sofia Abatangelo | 8.2 / 10 | 04-04-2017 | Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is a surprising metroidvania: a game characterized by a wonderful art design and a challenging gameplay. | Read review |
Gameblog | Thomas Pillon | 6 / 10 | 04-04-2017 | Momodora is quite a nice Metroidvania, offering a good challenge and nice retro graphics. It’s just a bit short and lacks some originality to stand out. | Read review |
Gamers Heroes | Casey Scheld | 8 / 10 | 03-27-2017 | Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight combines the best elements of Castlevania, Dark Souls, and even Shantae to create something great. What it lacks in scale it more than makes up for in attention to detail and care. | Read review |
GameSkinny | Jeffrey Rousseau | 8 / 10 | 05-17-2016 | RUtM is a pixelated portrayal punctuated by perils and parasitic personalities posed to prey upon its powerless populace. | Read review |
GameSpew | Richard Seagrave | 6 / 10 | 03-21-2017 | For hardcore gamers looking for a solid metroidvania fix, Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is quite possibly worth the asking price despite its issues. | Read review |
GameSpot | Peter Brown | 6 / 10 | 04-07-2017 | Momodora Reverie Under the Moonlight is a retro adventure with charm, but it runs out of steam a bit too soon. | Read review |
GamingTrend | Lucious Barnes | 95 / 100 | 04-11-2016 | Momodora: Revere Under Moonlight is a fantastic game, wonderfully animated, rich with accurate and sharp controls, and a worthy successor to the heyday of platformer gaming. Games like this are what made console gaming great and keep PC gaming honest, and the fact titles like these are still being made is why the industry has long-standing hope. If this game interests you enough to look at it twice, save yourself the regret and pick it up- you’ll be happier for it. | Read review |
Geeks Under Grace | Sam Kim | 9 / 10 | 07-02-2019 | Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is a masterfully crafted Castlevania clone that manages to stand out among the rest on its aesthetic. | Read review |
Hardcore Gamer | Chris Shive | 4 / 5 stars | 03-16-2017 | Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is the ideal mix of old and new. | Read review |
MonsterVine | Carlos Macias | 3 / 5 stars | 03-16-2017 | Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is admirable in that it’s an indie game in the truest sense of the word. | Read review |
NintendoWorldReport | Matthew Zawodniak | 6.5 / 10 | 01-23-2019 | The act of moving around through the Kingdom of Karst is so well-tuned that I had a lot of fun running through hallways smacking monsters with a leaf. Unfortunately, at the end of the day Karst just wasn’t a very interesting place in which to spend time, and I felt myself wishing for a bit more substance. There is undoubtedly something special going on in Momodora, but sadly I never felt like I was playing anything more than an introduction to a larger game that doesn’t actually exist. | Read review |
Paste Magazine | Cameron Kunzelman | 9 / 10 | 03-15-2017 | I’m already excited about the next Momodora game. I’m going to play all of the previous games, and then I’m going to anticipate and wait for the next one. | Read review |
PS4Blog.net | EdEN | 8.5 / 10 | 04-10-2017 | I enjoyed my time with the game as I wrote this Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight, and I found myself playing more and more even after I had finished drafting it. Sure, there’s other things I haven’t mentioned about the game, but that’s only because I don’t want to spoil it for you! There’s something very addictive about the gameplay, setting, music and graphics for the game that kept me coming back for more, so I hope it has the same effect on you. I look forward to seeing what Bombservice does next on PlayStation! | Read review |
Push Square | Liam Croft | 7 / 10 | 03-20-2017 | The combat and gameplay are the stars that shine brightest in Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight. Its twisting map will take you to a whole host of vibrant and mucky locations throughout the city of Karst, and within those places you’ll encounter a number of engaging boss battles and a ton of enemy variety. Its art style can go one of two ways depending on your tastes, but the lack of upgrades is hard to overlook within a genre that holds this concept as one of its core mechanics. Metroidvania fans will find lots to enjoy here, but the wider audience will be turned off by the throwaway story and visual style that may no longer be appealing. | Read review |
TechRaptor | Christian Mincks | 7.5 / 10 | 03-30-2017 | Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight borrows a lot of its elements from other game series, but does so in a manner that is still fun, effective, and sometimes quite beautiful. | Read review |
TheSixthAxis | Miguel Moran | 9 / 10 | 04-27-2017 | Regardless of my handful of complaints, the fact is that Momodora grabbed me and never let go. From start to finish, I was in love with the world, the combat, the easter eggs, and nearly everything in between. | Read review |
Video Chums | Tyler Hall | 7.7 / 10 | 03-18-2017 | Multiple difficulties and optional areas to explore give Momodora a bit of additional replay value after you complete the five to six hour long campaign. | Read review |
Wccftech | Kai Powell | 8 / 10 | 03-20-2017 | From beginning to end, Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight remained a masterful example of a small project with big inspiration. | Read review |
