Moonbreaker

Moonbreaker is a battle strategy game inspired by tabletop games of this type. The project was developed by Unknown Worlds studio, a team known for the games Subnautica and Natural Selection 2.

Plot

The action takes place in the distant future on a moon that is falling to pieces, for control of which several factions are fighting.

The plot of the game and its universe was written by Brandon Sanderson, an American writer known for such series as To the Stars (Starward), From the Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive.

Game mechanics

Moonbreaker was developed as a virtual version of tabletop battle games using figurines. The game involves turn-based battles in which we command small armies. They consist of captains acting as heroes and subordinate troops.

The outcome of skirmishes is influenced not only by the units we command, but also by how we use map elements and Assists, which are special techniques capable of reversing the course of battles.

A key role in the gameplay is played by collecting units, captains and types of Assists. All units resemble figurines in appearance, and the player gets access to extensive tools that allow us to virtually paint them, which allows us to adjust their appearance to our own preferences. We can also use ready-made patterns prepared by the authors.

Game modes

Moonbreaker is geared towards multiplayer clashes against other players. However, singleplayer games in the form of randomly generated skirmishes against AI are also available.

Technical aspects

The game features an eye-pleasing three-dimensional graphics. It is stylized on tabletop battle games. The maps resemble detailed dioramas, and the characters look like figures on stands and have highly simplified animations.
