Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It's a formula that works well and keeps you playing for longer than you mean to, with that "just a little more" feeling dragging you on to the next map, to complete the next quest, or to get enough silver to upgrade the next room.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
- Beautiful pixel graphics.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
If you've played Apocalypse Hotel then you'll be familiar with the gameplay of Moonstone Tavern as well: alternately manage and improve your tavern, and go out on adventures in search of loot and resources to use on the next round of tavern improvements.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The cancel sound (when pressing escape to close a menu) in particular is grating and too loud, but most of the other sound effects are okay.
6 of 112 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
It doesn't seem to be optimized the best since I'm also getting fairly poor framerate, but I'm fairly certain that has more to do with my system than the game itself.
