From the review: "Despite having some control issues, Rainbow Moon gets most of the core gameplay right. Unfortunately, the game's horrible pacing and insane difficulty makes this impossible to recommend. This would have been a better product if the developers weren't so preoccupied with microtransactions!" 3.5/10
A score of 3.5 would mean the game is horrid, doesnt work well and is just unplayable. Rainbow Moon has none of those qualities :L
boring combat that becomes a chore as the game grinds on into a mind numbing cycle of fight/move/fight
I never had any real money issues largely because I discovered numerous coin making schemes.some npc characters will repeatedly pay you to gather materials etc...
One should also keep in mind that the game is 14$,for that price it is relatively worth it as 50+ hours can easily be had here.It isn't without it's little likeable qualities and while it certainly isn't a 3.5/10 it IS closer to a 5.5/10 than many would like to believe.
The author has it backwards. The article was a cash grab (hits for ads), not the game.
