GameVortex writes: "First-person games are not exactly the Nintendo DS's bread and butter. However, there are a few noteworthy titles that bring the genre to the handheld with great success. The most obvious example is Metroid Prime: Hunters - the game that singlehandedly proved that it was possible to make a shooter work with touch-screen aiming. Other titles tried to imitate the success of Hunters, but most of them fell flat. Perhaps the game that came closest was 2007's Dementium: The Ward, a survival-horror title developed by Austin-based development house Renegade Kid. Moon is Renegade Kid's science-fiction themed sophomore effort, and it's a good one at that. Moon has its share of setbacks, but its killer presentation and immersive atmosphere make it a game that any DS-owning shooter fan should at least take a look at".
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!
