I think I am going to pick up Moonrise today because I am home sick. I can't decide if I should play as a boy or girl because I usually play as a guy because I am a guy, but I also want to try something different and play as a girl. If I play as a girl, what should my name be? If I am a guy, I will be John Henry.
I have been watching videos, reading about it, and reading reviews on Moonrise. It is a mobile game ported to PC/Mac, but the devs are working their hardest to make it larger, more PC friendly, etc. The graphics are nice, but it isn't quite an MMO because it is just point and click where you want to go. However, you can battle others and stuff. The creatures are all unique, but you can't nickname them like in pokemon. The trainer (warden) can also attack the creatures with special powers.
There are stats like in pokemon with spirit attack/defense (special) and strength attack/defense (physical) with spirit and physical moves. you can have multiple parties or teams.
It is $15 for the warden edition and $20 for the guild master edition- everyone recommends to buy the guild master edition if you can spare the extra $5. It is in early-access, so it isn't the complete game.
You start off graduating warden school or something and choose a starter (nature, fire, or water) and battle the trainer or whatever. When you win, you graduate to go on missions for others. The goal of wardens is to cleanse the solari infected by the moonrise called lunari. After defeating lunari, they become solari and you can recruit them for your team. They are between 1 and 5 stars, 5 obviously meaning the solari is better than 4 or 1 star solari.
