Upon release, the game received praise from critics for the effective imitation of classic role-playing titles and the scope and detail of its open world, exploration gameplay and narrative, with several publications naming the game as one of the best indie titles of 2023. ==Development== Moonring was developed as a solo project by Dene Carter, a veteran developer who co-created the Fable series with Lionhead Studios. Carter stated that the game was created as a "love letter" to his experiences with early role-playing and roguelike games including the Ultima series, and hoped Moonring would recapture the spirit of that era. The game was released for free without prior announcement on Steam on 28 September 2023, with Carter stating the decision to release the game for free was because "Life is hard, COVID sucked, everyone's poor and stressed. I don't need the $300 this would make me: I'd rather take the goodwill." On 10 January 2024, Carter announced the game was in the process of being ported to the Nintendo Switch. On March 4th, 20251, Carter released Moonring DX on Steam, a paid expansion that added The Egg, a 100-floor dungeon. Moonring DX released on Nintendo Switch on November 20th, 2025.
