From the opening moments, you’ll find that time is of the essence as you make your way to the makeshift rocket, initializing it as quickly as you can as the seconds begin to count down as a sandstorm hurls its way across the desert around you, seeking to put an end to your adventure before it even began.įrom there, you’ll find that it doesn’t slow down as a catastrophe hits the Lunar approach as you arrive to its bays. What it does do is deliver something more down to Earth, something tangible that comes to life in this absolutely stunning-looking 3D adventure that tag teams some psychological horror elements into the overall experience. The game, for what it’s worth, doesn’t follow in the steps of titles such as Alien or Pandorum where you’ll find your odds of survival are rather slim. For some, the game isn’t what you would expect when you hear the term action or adventure in a single grouping. One thing that impresses me about this game is that Deliver Us The Moon is one I couldn’t put down once the ball got rolling. The adrenaline gets pumping and rather quickly This is where you come in as you take on the role of a former WSA astronaut, heading to the moon to investigate what went wrong, why the MPT reactor quit, and how you can restore all functionality to the MPT itself. Years later, a small group of former WSA employees would work in secret, building a rocket and a way to get one of their own up to the Moon in hopes to restore MPT functionality in hopes to give Earth a fighting chance once again. However, decades later in 2059, the WSA has since shut down as communication from the Moon came to a screeching halt, the energy transfer from powerful MPT station that funneled valuable energy to Earth ended and the fallout would see the WSA shut down. Their solution was an abundance of Helium 3 that would be found on the Moon, forcing the WSA to begin the formation of a lunar colony in 2032. In Deliver Us The Moon, we don’t see this crisis happen until 2030 when the great energy crisis began.Īs a result, the World Space Agency – WSA for short – would be formed in search of a brand-new energy source to help maintain life on Earth. My first moments would be intense in every way imaginable. Earth is dying, the Energy Crisis had exceeded what those called Earth their home had come to expect. The beginning moments, in a way, were farfetched in its apocalyptic future. Unexpectedly, I would be drawn into one such title I hadn’t expected to draw me in the way it did. Oh Fortuna, Deliver Us The Moon to give us a fighting chance to save our home That game would come in the shape of action-adventure title Deliver Us The Moon from developer KeokeN Interactive and publisher Wired Productions.

However, I never expected a game to grab me by the wrist and dragging me into a world where my worst fears and concerns had grown to an existential crisis that would force humanity among the stars, looking for new worlds to colonize and call their home.

Overpopulation, resource replenishment issues, global warming in a post-ice age environment, air quality control, and even waste management that has become a very real problem. As I grew older, my concerns became more realistic, aiming at problems facing our world today. I’d often imagine it was beautiful, quiet compared to home, that I would get to see sights that had yet to be seen and make discoveries that no one had. I would lay quietly in a field, staring at the skies above, nudging my brother Shane and our best friend Eric as we imagined what space was like. I often dreamed I’d start at a colony on the Moon, spending time to make friends, observe the beauty that is the planet that we call home. Framerate jumps on PlayStation 4 do make it slightly difficult to enjoy from time to timeĪs a child, I often wanted to travel into the darkest reaches of space, seeing the vastness that it has to offer in an unlimited and unparalleled way. +Puzzles are challenging and require patience and memorization skills +Physics for the moon feel almost believable as the astronaut jumps about

+The story keeps drawing you in for more at every turn it makes +One of the most beautiful yet haunting scores to date Deliver Us The Moon promises a harrowing adventure where the Moon brings us hope, giving Earth one more chance at salvation, but has the depleting of resources driven it too far from being saved? Deliver Us The Moon looks to answer that foreboding question.
