When we got a chance to play the game behind closed doors, we figured that the FPS genre would be very well represented on the DS, but years later it has had a fairly minor showing. It's not that the DS isn't fully capable of having great FPS games; it just seems that the genre became a bit of an afterthought for many developers. Well, after the success of Dementium: The Ward, Renegade Kid quickly got to work on Moon. Dementium proved that the FPS genre was still viable on the DS, and Moon is looking to take things to a new level. Moon fuses together solid FPS gameplay with a nice heaping of adventure gaming to create an early bright spot for the DS library in 2009."
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!
