'Against The Moon' Reveals Developer Roadmap

by Rainier on Sept. 25, 2020 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT

Against The Moon is a turn-based strategy where chthonic monsters will challenge your tactical skills.

Featuring a bleak post-apocalyptic setting, Against The Moon mixes elements of popular trading card games like Slay the Spire, Hand of Fate and Talisman to create an epic strategy experience with a thrilling plot and unique visual style.

Having lost control of the planet to weird beasts of their own creation, humanity’s last survivors took refuge in an ancient citadel. Now the superhuman Ultori represent mankind’s last hope. Lead a squad of powerful Ultori to defeat the Furos, the nightmare creatures of the Moon, and restore humanity as the rightful rulers of Earth.

Craft your own deck, upgrade your cards and level up your characters to combat bizarre and dangerous opponents. Crush enemy bosses, build your forces and gather the resources you need to challenge the Moon itself!

In Against The Moon you manage a squad of superhumans struggling against the invasion of chthonic monsters. Each hero has their own ultimate ability that will help you turn the outcome of the battle and save the intelligent city of Arx. By the way, in this game you are the intelligent city of Arx with your own ultimate.

"Some things never truly end, which means the end of the campaign is not the end of the story in Against The Moon. Right now, the dev team is working on massive updates and additional content. New heroes will join the Ultori to defend humanity against all new creatures from ancient past. New locations and all new campaigns are coming, new maps as well as seasonal events that will offer players new strategic challenges. Players can look forward to new content well into 2021."

  • First Update (October 2020) - new campaign "Puzzles"
  • Big Update (November 2020) - new Ultori, new campaign, new cards and spell
  • Seasonal Event (December 2020) - new campaign and trials
  • Mysterious Event (Early 2021)

Fight on three separate battle lines, but beware: you can’t kill everyone on all lines at once, you'll need to sacrifice something. You have the greatest heroes of humanity in your army and each can be upgraded in one of two directions. In addition, you control a great number of creatures: luma bots, reptiles, beasts, people and creatures of unknown origin. Each creature has its own strengths and can also be upgraded based on your playstyle.

The whole planet has risen up to fight back the invasion and begin one final battle Against The Moon!

May Great Mother Arx bless your mission. You are our only hope!
