An expanded version of the side-scrolling action RPG game Moonfall, where in addition to the story mode we will find a co-op mode and an infinite Arcade mode. In Moonfall Ultimate we travel through the industrial-gothic Empire, trying to resist the invasion of the Wilderness.
Moonfall Ultimate is an expanded version of Moonfall released in 2017. This side-scrolling action RPG, enriched with elements of Metroidvania, was developed by an independent team at Fishcow Studio and published by Wales Interactive.
Moonfall Ultimate takes us to an industrial-gothic world, to the Empire, which owes its power to the element called the Lunarium. It is the element that draws in Savages, who attacked the land. Our task is to repel the invasion before the Empire falls under its pressure.
Before playing Moonfall Ultimate we choose a representative of one of three character classes (their list consists of Vanguard, Elementalist and Shadow), each of which has unique active and passive abilities. The game world consists of thirteen different levels, where we perform tasks find notes to broaden our knowledge of the universe and battle enemies. The clashes take place in real-time, and victory can be achieved with quick reflexes, as well as a careful observation of the movements of the opponents, evasion and swift counter-attacks.
As we progress, we increase the combat potential of our hero by providing them with new equipment (we can choose from eighty items such as swords, axes, daggers, armor, helmets, shoes and rings) and by collecting experience points and leveling up. This is important because in order to gain access to some places, we first need to unlock a specific skill or acquire a specific item.
In addition to the story mode, Moonfall Ultimate has a co-op module for playing on split-screen, as well as an infinite Arcade mode, where we try to stay alive for as long as possible.
Like the original, Moonfall Ultimate features 2.5D hand-painted graphics; the whole thing features dark atmosphere, which is achieved mainly through subdued colors and gloomy location design.

Nindie Spotlight: 5 / 10 by Nindie Spotlight
All in all Moonfall Ultimate just isn’t a lot of fun as its most critical feature, its combat, is too dull and uninspired to solicit many thrills at all. Contrasting with the classic Golden Axe, which it set its sights on, there isn’t a flow to your attacks and the action simply isn’t dynamic enough. Engaging in an armored slap fight of sorts where you can’t feel the impact of your mighty blows really sucks the life out of the experience. Paired with a solo experience that is more frustrating than ultimately rewarding and it’s tough to recommend, though at least if you can play with a friend there’s greater hope of it being a better experience simply because then you could enjoy some mildly tactical play.

There was potential here. All the developer had to do was take a piece of paper, write “Why do people love Golden Axe?” in the middle and go from there. They even gave us couch co-op, three different character class and even some RPG-esque attribute/skill progression system. It’s just a shame that the end product is [literally] flat and uninspired. I can’t even say, “Yeah but the combat’s fun” or “The story is a masterpiece”.
TheSixthAxis: 4 / 10 by Adrian Burrows
The result of merging together Diablo and Golden Axe should have been brilliant. It's a shame then that Moonfall Ultimate falls a long way short of that expectation. With more of a focus on explosive arcade combat this could have been a fun diversion, as it stands however there's far too many frustrating issues to see you to the end of its limited run time.
