Last year, development studio Renegade Kid released Dementium: The Ward for DS. The monster-filled first-person shooter not only played and looked very good on Nintendo's handheld, but it was scary, too. In fact, it was one of IGN's favorites for the year. Now, Renegade Kid is working on another DS-exclusive first-person action adventure -- this time featuring a science-fiction theme. It's called Moon and it's already one of the most intriguing projects underway for DS. IGN chat with Moon's director and producer, Jools Watsham, about the ambitious effort.
Today, Onion Games announced that the legendary RPG – or rather, the anti-RPG – Moon has been re-released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. The game was originally released on PlayStation in 1997. It was resurrected 22 years later on Nintendo Switch and now on other platforms.
1990s anti-RPG Moon is getting a PC and PlayStation re-release "soon".
"it turns RPG conventions on their heads, including the trope of storming into someone’s house and going through all their stuff." What? Those are pretty typical RPG conventions. Anti RPG? Maybe, but not evidenced based on anything described in the article.
As the wait for Deltarune continues, this writer wanted to offer her readers a collection of similar experiences. Considering Undertale’s beginnings as an Earthbound hack, this piece aims to explore some of what could be considered Undertale’s family — games that also began with RPGMaker, were inspired by Earthbound, share a similar ideology, and games focus on reactive stories. Additionally, this piece hopes to highlight some of the lesser known Undertale-esque works, the ones readers might not immediately find when sifting through Google’s suggestions. As an added bonus, these games are budget-friendly - several of them are even free! Others range from $5-20. (Many were included in the BLM bundle on Itch.io, both Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass and Anodyne from this list are included.) There’s something for every Undertale fan in this list, so hopefully you readers will find something new to ease the anticipation for Deltarune!
I am really impressed with this game. The graphics are great for a DS and based on what Dementium had to offer as a shooter, then this game should knock Metroid, BiA, etc. out of the way. Now if they added multi player like Metroid Prime Hunters...
Yeah for sure. I'm looking forward to what Renegade Kid can do with this title. It's using an updated engine from Dementium and sounds like similar control style. Along with a story driven fps/adventure. Plus Dementium was a decent game so this game already has promise.
