Indie developer Gloomsoft has announced console ports for Moadra, their Alien-inspired dark sci-fi metroidvania game.
Moadra is in development for Windows PC (via Steam) and now consoles too across Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PlayStation 5. A release set for later this year. A playable demo is available on its Steam page.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
Set out on a deadly mission to explore the mysterious planet of Protea VI and uncover what happened to a once-thriving civilization as Lieutenant Moadra Meras, a member of the Neera elites. Through coarse sand and freezing ice, delve into lush underground caverns brimming with secrets. Activate your scanner bot and use X-ray vision to examine creatures, reveal hidden paths, and discover secret areas that have been previously lost to time. The fate of an entire species hangs in the balance. Can you survive the horrors that await, or will you become just another lost soul to fall victim to Protea VI?
Key Features:
- Explore an Otherworldly Wasteland: Whether you are trying to endure the desolate surface, ascend the deadly, freezing summits, or scout the research facility infested with malicious alien species, Protea VI has many lost secrets to uncover after your ancestor’s extinction 20,000 years ago. Dangers await around every corner.
- Tools of Survival: Use Moadra’s agility to your advantage to roll, dodge, leap, wall jump, and sprint at never-before-seen speeds to evade deadly organisms and hazardous elements. Use your swift reflexes, an arsenal of weapons, and special abilities to survive everything from low-level threats to gargantuan monsters that force you to use every tool at your disposal.
- Use the Environment to Evolve: Activate your scanner bot and use X-ray vision to examine creatures and your surroundings more closely. Reveal hidden paths and secret areas invisible to the naked eye, and map out the places you explored.
- Action-Packed Mutations: Blow up unfriendly creatures and organisms to absorb their Protoplasm, lumps of energy-packed biomass. Consume it inside organic chambers to apply metamorphosis, and evolve your abilities and weapons to new levels.
