What Makes Night of the Full Moon Stand Out
(1)Dark Fairy Tale – Veiled Suspicion
This is your own dark fairy tale—
Little Red Riding Hood has always relied on her grandmother, but one day, her grandmother mysteriously disappears. To find her only family, Little Red Riding Hood ventures alone into the Black Forest on the night of the full moon. She will face forest spirits, ferocious werewolves, reclusive witches, and the emerging truth…
(2)Night of the Full Moon – Free Exploration
Beware! Unknown events may trigger at any time during your adventure. Your choices will determine the story's ultimate outcome. The classic mode includes ten professions, over seven hundred cards for free combinations, and one hundred forty-two enigmatic opponents waiting for your challenge.
(3)Mirror Memories – Autonomous Adventure
The story unfolds in a distant past when the young demon princess, Black Swan, accidentally enters the world within a mirror. Along with her escape plan, she discovers she is not alone. With the help of other companions, Black Swan embarks on a journey to find her lost memories. Light auto chess gameplay includes ten major factions, 176 companion chess pieces, 81 equipment cards, and 63 spell cards, offering card masters a more flexible deck-building experience.
(4) Wishing Night – Companions by Your Side
It is said that every eclipse night, adventurers follow the magical map to underground caves in search of the legendary god of wishes, but none return. On the Night of Wishes, let us follow in the footsteps of old friends, recruit companions with varying effects, and form an adventure team. Strengthen your companions with equipment, leading to diverse chain reactions. Sharpen your combat skills, as card decisions in each turn are crucial. Plan your gold route carefully; every step in the adventure requires meticulous calculation.
This Strategy game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Sign in through apple doesn't work on iPad :/ Otherwise pretty fun for the formula it inspires from.
We love this game and play it all the time but it also crashes somewhat frequently. Still love it though.
We heard about this game from someone on Twitter, and we decided to try it out, and we have no regrets, after playing slay the spire earlier this year, playing this Feels right at home. We havent encountered any issues so far, but we are aware that some people are having some decent sized ones. The game needs some bug fixes, and we think that Witch is a little to weak to play as sometimes, but nonetheless we are enjoying it, and would recommend to try it, we mean the whole game is free.
Incredible game. Immersive, Ive sometimes even played until 5 am not even realizing what time it was. The free version has 4 main characters/classes to choose from, each with their own abilities and uniqueness. You can play them over and over and with the varying cards each playthrough makes it original every time. If youre like us, and youve played the main 4 to death (haha), just 1 extra character is only 0.99 (we, personally, recommend the werewolf). Without getting into spoilers, the game has a great storytelling element that keeps you wanting to play again just to see what you missed. 15/10 would recommend.
This game is a lot of fun for someone like us, who doesn't like to dive too deeply into card games like Hearthstone. Gameplay is enjoyable and fun, and each replay feels totally different even with the same class, as there are so many options you can get for your deck/equipment/blessings. And if you want more challenge – check out locked Achievements, we bet they will keep you occupied for a while. As title says, this game is totally worth its money.
This is the one app that has persisted on our phone throughout many months. We never get tired of playing through it, but Ive come to such a hard stop with one of the final bosses through the campaign that it makes us want to put it down for good. Every other run is just a complete cakewalk compared to this guy, and we realize we may just be pretty bad at the game but man, Ive hit our head in frustration more times than a phone game is worth. Other than this one extremely large setback for us, the game is fantastic. Please nerf.
All the typos and bad translation in the game shows you how bad a rip off this game is. The mechanics are terribly designed and theres no strategy whatsoever. The 5 star reviews are likely bots and the app will bury this review….. Please save your 1 dollar.
The game only works in vertical (phone) orientation. The initial windows would not display properly on the iPad, at one point only a fraction of a screen was visible, we couldnt close anything out and the game was locked out. It would be nice to see framing for iPad/standard horizontal screen. Otherwise very entertaining.
Lose 2 stars without us even playing.
We really don't understand why a single-player game requires a constant internet connection. It's fine if PvP isn't available in the US, but it makes no sense that we can't even play the single-player mode just because we have a poor connection. This is really poorly done.
First this is an AMAZING game HOWEVER! The most recent addition wasnt even translated into English. Please fix.
We love this game and think its extremely addictive and fun. Ive been playing it for years now. However, Ive noticed theres an issue with translating some of the storyline/dialogue to English. Recently theyve come out with a new character Little Pig Monster and most of the game is story based, which you have to read through. Its super cute and we can tell the story is meant to be funny and lighthearted but its been very clearly translated by someone who did not proofread the English version. Its incomprehensible. It literally does not make sense and its sort of upsetting because we paid for this. Im not sure if they used google translate or AI but the script is sloppily put together (NOT the voice acting, just the written parts). If it was part of the free trial we wouldnt care, but for a paid character we feel like they should have put more effort in translating. We understand the game is originally in Chinese but they shouldnt release the character internationally until its properly completed and comprehensive, especially because you have to pay for it. Ill update the review if they fix the translation issue tho because the game is honestly so fun.
We have had this game for years and we absolutely love it. Ive only played it on & off and we still havent finished everything.
This is one of the funnest and most addictive games that we've ever played. Lots of playtime and lots of variety, and it's not too difficult to learn. We never really caught on slay the spire, but this game is great. This one and Dawncaster — fabulous, y'all! Keep it coming.
Very fun rouge like deck building game with a fun gameplay loop and has very entertaining story telling with the different paths you can take in each run. We love animation style and voice lines with it too.
Best bang for your buck. This game is complex, and gives the player many opportunities to explore the possibilities of card combos. The story is surprisingly deep, drawing from classical fairy tales for inspiration. Ive enjoyed the game for years, and am honestly blown away that its still getting updated, Night of the Full Moon really is a passion project for the devs and it shows. We will admit there can be log in issues if you are playing with limited connection, but reconnecting to data somehow clears it up quickly.
We love this game and have bought all dlc for it at various points. We had dropped our rating due to losing access to dlc and CS not helping us fix the issue. We were however able to find a way to reclaim our dlc ( logging out completely uninstalling then reinstalling and logging into our account.) no idea why it worked but since the issue is resolved bringing back our 5 stars.
Stuck on the update static version screen everyone else talks about. When this is fixed we will 100% change our review to 5 stars, this was one of our favorite games on the app store.
We have always come back to this game across every device we have owned, we even got our husband sucked into it as well.
We paid for all but two things before the last update then after the new update, our game refused to load until we deleted it and then re-downloaded it and now we cant access any of the stuff that we have already paid for and its very frustrating and its not showing us a restore purchases area otherwise we use to love this game but we paid allot of money for all the collections just for it to glitch and be taken away.
This game used to be great, but update after update its gotten harder and harder to the point where it is no longer fun. Our disappointment is immeasurable.
Unnecessary online requirement, what part of this game requires constant online access? We personally dont see any. Otherwise, good game with simple, yet addicting gameplay.
You discover and develop your own strategy along the game progress. The are so many possibilities and potential! It's so rewarding that you eventually formed your own deck and beat the boss in your own way. What? Only 6 bucks for such a rich DLC?? Where's the $99.99 option.
Love the gameplay, always have. However, we have redownloaded it the other day and noticed that the translation into english has significantly diminished in quality compared to before. So we're curious as to the reasoning behind changing the old translation.
We easily sunk hundreds of hours into this game, it has multiple fun game modes with multiple characters to make each run unique with overall fun mechanics. While we thought the gameplay felt a bit derivative to other card games like Slay the Spire at first, it has enough unique features and mechanics for it to stand out as well as great art style and music. There are a few small issues that do pile up. English translation is not very good, sometimes you cant decipher what the text actually means and sometimes its just outright incorrect. While the game isnt designed to be as intense and difficult as some roguelikes, the balancing does feel a bit all over the place; some powers or cards fee inconsequential, while others single handedly win every fight. Despite all that, still incredibly fun with some really unique and interesting mechanics. With multiple game modes like Wishing Night its well worth the money to unlock more gameplay.
The only thing that would make it perfect is if we could see our character heroes just as voiced and animated as these enemies you have. With a wide array of characters it only makes us want it more. <3.
Our account, including purchases and achievements was deleted in the recent update. Ive contacted support to see if they can resolve this issue. Ill update our review when/if they restore our data. Update, emailed again. No support. Still cant restore our purchases.
We are a person who just started playing these types of deck-building games, having tried around seven of them. This one is easy enough for a person who is familiar with general gaming to learn, yet it is not juvenile in the slightest! We are still learning more game features as we write this review, and we are loving it! It is also challenging. You have to be strategic when choosing which cards to play. We love how the main screen isnt full of too many icons for offers junking up the screen. It is also quite beautiful. The scripts are witty and this helps you get into the fairytale mindset while it immerses you into the game. We are in heaven with this one! We havent had to spend a dime, but this is one of those games that makes you so happy that you want to contribute to keep this magic alive! We will definitely make purchases and we wont regret it because this game can give you hours of entertainment. This is the game Ive been waiting for. Sincerely, Just a normal gal from Iowa, small town, USA.
First review Ive ever written for an application or really any software/game ever so that tells you something. This is 100% the best mobile game Ive ever payed and easily among the most fun games Ive played to date, PC, Xbox, PS4, and Switch included. This game would be an instant recommendation at $10 but for what theyre asking for its an absolute steal. If you have even the slightest interest in it then do yourself a favor and pick it up. You wont regret it.
We love this game, Ive had countless hours of fun playing with the rpg style decks. Even with hours of content we want more, mooooore. The developers are very artistic and creative.
However Im giving this a four star review because the main menu sometimes doesnt appear on our screen. Its frustrating because we can hear the music but everything else is blank. This is our first time leaving a review only for the sole purpose of addressing that issue with the game. Other than that Ive had this game for a while and Im still never bored because of all the variety of game play we can execute. Please fix.
We would like our money back. Ive never even seen what the main menu looks like due to not being able to even play a minute of this game.
We hear music but the screen stays black.
We receive a network error whenever we start game. Our DLC has been erased.
Network error. Network error. Network error.
When will online mode be deployed.
New update keeps crashing. Great game otherwise.
Only starting to get familiar but its a refreshing gameplay experience compared to so many games out there that just want to get you to spend money as soon as possible. Very polished. Ill be playing more.
Unless you enjoy staring at that message, we do not suggest this game.
The translation is not that great. The game is good, basically like dream quest but plays a lot better. We find the game more engaging than monster train or slay the spire.
As the title says, the game is wonderful with many ways to play and a lot of effort out into it. Unfortunately this isnt reflected in their English translation. You have to decode what some cards or abilities do which is not great when they can make or break a run. Either way we would still recommend.
Each update makes the game less English language friendly. Alchemist became Druggest, long text and non-sense phrases fill out the deck and story. The support pages are not navigable, and theyve moved to micro transactions totaling over 100$ to unlock game content. No way to move progress nor purchases between devices. The original care of this game is gone, husked out by something much worse and seemingly lazy or uncaring.
Dont get us wrong though we still think it is pretty good. It has a interesting story line from what we played good animation and we like the game play style. The reason why we gave it a low raining is because it has blood in it. Some of the monsters have blood on them and a lot of the cards that you will play will have weapons with some red on them so just in case you dont like blood you might want to read this if blood isnt a problem for you than we are sure you will love the game.
We really enjoy the game and its various modes. There are often some translation errors, and they can be slow to fix minor issues , but it does little to detract from the gameplay. But its like 80$ if you want to buy everything, and you have to do so by buying their in game currency. We honestly find both points to border on absurdity. Theres no good justification for either, let alone both. For 80$ buy two premium pc games.
Really enjoyed the game love all parts of it but looking at getting all the dlcs for it and seeing that we need to spend around $100 to get them seems like a major rip off.
We purchased some in app character classes and the no ads. But as of redownloading the game Ive seemed to have lost those purchases. Is there anyway to get them back? Please help.
Used to be one of our favorites, and we were happy to buy a character for $1. New characters are now $4 which is insane.
