Hardcore Gamer: Last week, word broke out that Moon Chronicles would be released on May 15. The details of the release, however, were a bit confusing. We couldn't find two sources that had it listed exactly the same, leading us to speculate the exact details of the release. After reaching out to Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham, it turns out most people got at least one portion of it wrong (including us).
Moon Chronicles is a remake of the original game, Moon, which came out on the DS as a retail title. Developer Renegade Kid remade the game to harness the 3DS's additional power and 3D effects, and released Moon Chronicles Episode 1, which we reviewed for launch. While we felt the game was good, Episode 1 was way too short, and the score suffered a little from that. Renegade Kid decided to release the remaining episodes all at once, which now gives us the complete package, for a very reasonable price of $8.99 total, depending on whether you get the Season Pass. So how does the remainder of the game stack up?
VRFocus - Next week sees the launch of the New Nintendo 3DS, a updated version of the popular handheld system that packs in new control options, upgraded 3D capabilities and improved processing. With it comes something of a revival in content for the platform, with a large number of titles planned for release over the next few months. However just ahead of the system’s launch comes the remainder of Moon Chronicles, an episodic first-person shooter (FPS) series that remakes the original Moon on DS from Renegade Kid. It may seem strange to pick a handheld title for VRFocus’ ‘Make it a (Virtual) Reality’ series, but take one look at Moon Chronicles and it’s clear to see that the title is ripe for a VR adaption.
Hardcore Gamer: Renegade Kid’s first-person adventure Moon Chronicles is finally available in its entirety, as episodes 2, 3, and 4 of the game launched today on the 3DS eShop.
Chapters, episodes AND seasons? Why must they make it so confusing?
