About

Moonlighter is a 2018 action RPG with rogue-lite elements that blends dungeon crawling with shopkeeping mechanics. You play as Will, a merchant who explores dangerous dungeons by day and manages his shop by night, creating a unique gameplay loop that sets it apart from typical indie action games. The combination of adventure and business simulation makes it a standout title in the indie scene.

Moonlighter is highly accessible on modern PC hardware and won't demand much from your system. You'll need at least an entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 1202 and 4 GB of RAM to meet minimum requirements, making it ideal for budget builds or older machines. Most modern graphics cards will deliver smooth 60+ FPS at high settings, and the game scales well across different performance tiers, giving you plenty of room to experiment with graphics settings.

If you enjoy indie games with creative mechanics and don't mind a moderate difficulty curve, Moonlighter is worth your time. Its 71/100 rating reflects a solid, well-crafted experience that offers good value for the price.

Performance profile

May 2018 release. Moonlighter was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

Moonlighter is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Extremely light — Moonlighter runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
