Millions of gamers watched the reveal of Highguard at The Game Awards 2025, but the game received a somewhat disappointing initial reaction. Many were frustrated that such a prominent spot at a major event was given to a game that relies on ongoing purchases and updates.

While there’s real conflict at stake, Moonlight Peaks cleverly uses it to make the cozy gameplay and themes even more engaging.
