Moonstone Island – The charming mix of Stardew Valley and Pokemon in the trailer
You slip into the role of young aspiring alchemists who, according to old tradition, have to leave their home village and spend a year on an island in the clouds. And there you will find the typical game elements that you know from farm sims like Stardew Valley: you set up your house, get to know NPCs, take part in village life, date, grow flowers and crops. From these you can then brew potions.
But the special thing is that you can also tame wild spirits, so the counterpart to the pocket monsters in this world. This means that you also fight turn-based battles with them, in which you play cards with which you can inflict different types of damage on the opponent or remove his armor, for example.

The RPG, which relies on a strong exploration focus, also has various cool means of transport in its luggage. Among other things, you can fly in a balloon or on a broomstick. In the dungeons you will find upgrade and crafting materials. You need these to strengthen your character, to create useful items or even to create new means of transport.

Moonstone Island will initially only appear on Steam. There is currently no release date, but this will be announced soon. But if you just want to try out the game, you can do so now in a free Steam demo that lets you experience an in-game week.
