Plot
The action of Momodora: Moonlit Farewell takes place five years after the events presented in the third part of the series. Striking an ominous bell has brought great misfortune to the village of Koho in the form of an oncoming demon invasion. The most talented priestess, Momo Reinol, is sent by the matron on a mission to investigate the bell and find the offender. They both hope that in this way they will be able to avert the danger hanging over the village.
The story presented in the game has been told in such a way that both players familiar with the previous parts of the series and those who are just beginning their adventure in the world of Momodora or those who have only experienced the prequel Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight can find themselves in here.
Game mechanics
Momodora: Moonlit Farewell features side-scrolling action. Moving through various stages, Momo jumps on platforms and avoids numerous traps, as well as faces enemies. Apart from regular opponents, on her way there are also huge bosses, which can be defeated only by learning their weak points.
During the dynamic fights we have to show dexterity and reflexes, efficiently performing evasions and making quick counterattacks, as well as combining attacks in murderous combinations. Momo eliminates enemies using cold weapon and also by using bow. As we progress, we earn special seals, which not only increase the protagonist's combat potential, but also allow us to adjust her fighting style to individual preferences.
Technical aspects
Graphics of Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is made in pixel art style known from previous parts of the series.

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell a game unlike any other - a metroidvania with a truly unique aesthetic that blends all my favorite things into one unforgettable package. It may be the final chapter in the Momodora story, but I can only hope there are plenty more games from Bombservice to come.
Gaming Nexus: 8.5 / 10 by Russell Archey
Momodora: Moonlit Farewell doesn't do anything groundbreaking for Metroidvanias, but it really doesn't need to. The art style and music suit the game well given the story and the various sigils, relics, and companions to collect, along with health and magic upgrades, give you plenty of ways to customize your playstyle, though they can make things a bit easier than it seem like they should. If you enjoyed Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight or just have a bit of a Metroidvania itch, Momodora: Moonlit Farewell can definitely scratch it for a while.
