Moonfall is a 2D hand-painted sidescroller RPG focused on exploration, a level design with elements of the metroidvania genre and a strategic real-time combat. The main features include character classes with unique spells, a customization of the player’s character, a sturdy leveling system and the in-game economy aimed at providing players a variety of approaches to gameplay.

The player ventures on quests from the central hub locations. Levels consist of individually designed rooms, providing branching paths that the players explore as they advance. In addition to the traditional left to right movement, the character can also move vertically within a corridor inside each room giving the gameplay more depth.

The game world is a dark land notably resembling Earth that never got out of the Dark Ages. Enlightenment never came, scientific development remained subject to fundamentalism, but alchemy flourished. The game’s world is called Terra Nihil and a big part of it is now controlled by the Empire.

"Moonfall is a hand-painted side-scrolling 2D action RPG set in an industrial gothic universe named Terra Nihil. It says a story about the Empire, once a small land, that at the peak of its existence, which have reached thanks to a discovery of a magical element lunarium, began to experience massive attacks from so-called Savages, the aboriginal tribes living outside its borders. The attacks hit unexpectedly and surprisingly and their motive is shrouded in mystery, since it is very unlikely that such small groups would ever conquer the Empire, at that time the largest and most powerful land in Terra Nihil."

Fans interested in Moonfall can support it on Steam Greenlight.

The basic source of energy in the Empire is a mysterious element called lunarium that was prepared by alchemists and other scientists about a century ago and the element is the cause of the rapid progress that the Empire had experienced just in a few decades. Although, the Empire then began to expand its borders and gained control over many lands in exchange for the lunarium technologies. There were riots against this expanding in many neighboring empires and this is why loads of their former inhabitants rather chose to leave their homes then to live within the borders of their new one.

The riots has not stopped since the borders of the Empire are still often attacked by several tribes living outside the Empire. The exact reason why it is happening is still unknown because it is unlikely that such small groups of the resistance would conquer the whole land.
