The previous game, Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight, has received critical acclaim, selling over 800,000 copies worldwide.

This newest entry to the series is a culmination of all the know-how the developers have accumulated over so many years of the Momodora series, and it’s designed to be enjoyed by both series veterans and newcomers alike.

A Metroidvania with Gorgeous Pixel Art and Animations

Every stage you’ll explore is drawn in meticulous pixel art, and every character moves smoothly and dynamically with their own animations. The visual effects have also been improved from previous games, bringing the mystical and enchanting world of Momodora to life.

Use the Sigil System to Customize Your Run

You can obtain “Sigils” from shops, exploring the map, or from certain events. Effects range from strengthening attacks or healing, to summoning magic swords to smite your enemies.

After you obtain a Sigil, you can activate or deactivate it whenever you like, so you can swap them on the run and customize your abilities to match your playstyle.

Blood-Pumping Boss Battles

On your journey, you’ll encounter all sorts of formidable bosses. Use your attacks and Sigils wisely to defeat them all. Some of them are gigantic, so make sure you’re prepared!

Use Difficulty Settings to Explore the World the Way You Like

You can pick freely between the casual, lighthearted “Light” difficulty if you want a more laid-back experience, or the “Normal” difficulty if you’re looking for a challenge.

The Light difficulty also includes a toggleable Adaptive Difficulty feature that makes your character stronger every time you fall in battle.
