Moon Minions

About

Moon Minions is a 2004 RPG from Scottgames where players guide a moonman and his squad across a planet overrun by machines. The goal is to dismantle the Phantom Core, a source of dark energy threatening the galaxy. Turn-based battles mix resource management and tactical positioning, with options for single-player campaigns or cooperative multiplayer. The game emphasizes exploration and base-building, balancing combat with upgrading gear and unlocking new abilities. Developed by Scott Cawthon before his later fame, this title is a forgotten relic of early 2000s PC gaming. Its retro art style and straightforward mechanics appeal to fans of classic strategy RPGs. While lacking modern polish, it offers a glimpse into the developer’s early creative voice. Niche but functional, it remains a curiosity for those digging through indie game history.
