Moon Chronicles

About

Moon Chronicles is a sci-fi shooter that revamps the DS original for the Nintendo 3DS. You take on a space marines role battling alien forces in a top-down perspective. The game mixes fast shooting with light exploration and resource management. Missions take place on a moon base under siege, requiring you to clear out enemies and complete objectives. The 3DS version adds improved visuals and touch screen controls for weapon switching and map navigation. Each episode drops periodically, letting you play in short sessions. The episodic format was a fresh approach in 2014, making the game accessible for casual players. Community feedback notes the game’s concise yet satisfying campaign, lasting around 8-10 hours. Enemies have distinct behaviors and weaknesses, encouraging tactical play. The 3DS’ portability adds to its appeal, letting you tackle waves of aliens on the go. While the story is straightforward, the tight controls and varied mission types keep things engaging. Renegade Kid’s polish ensures smooth performance and minimal technical issues.
