At a glance, developer Renegade Kid may seem to be going in a different creative direction with its upcoming first-person shooter, Moon. Its first game, Dementium: The Ward, was a survival-horror title set in a monster-filled hospital, while Moon is a futuristic FPS set in space. Yet when it comes down to it, the two games actually do have a lot in common. Stripping away Moon's glowing blue user interface and space-related equipment reveals the game's engine to be an improved version of Dementium's, with identical controls (D-pad to move, stylus to mouse-look and aim, and L to fire) and smoother graphics.
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!
Cool should be more of a full game then Dementium was. You even have a small droid to send off to see if all is well and for puzzles. I like how the default weapon will recharge ammo a nice little extra.
