What critics said

Crimson Moon is what happens when you combine Soulslikes, Roguelikes, and tie it together with good music. A good time for action fans.

At the end of the day, Crimson Moon doesn’t need to reinvent the Soulslike genre to be worth your time. It knows exactly what it wants to be, a quick, loot-heavy romp you can tackle solo or with a friend, and it does that well enough to earn a spot in your rotation.

Sometimes a game doesn’t have to blow you away to be worth playing, and Crimson Moon proves that.

But Why Tho?75

While its less-than-stellar features can be a game-breaker for some, Crimson Moon is an engaging, unique game that offers several great features.

Crimson Moon Marries Diablo and Dark Souls for a Bloody, Breezy Good Time | IGN Preview

Crimson Moon probably isn’t going to wow you with something new, but maybe it doesn’t have to. Sometimes, you just want one of those lazy summer afternoon games, and if Crimson Moon can make its roguelike and loot elements as interesting as its combat, I think developer Probably Monsters will have something here.
