Exploration is pretty much the key focus since, as mentioned before, most of the game’s storyline and extra content comes in the form of clues in the environment and collectibles scattered around. In many ways Deliver Us The Moon keeps players on their toes a bit when it comes to how the game will be played as the title regularly switches things up on players by having them play in third person, first person, in zero gravity, or even exploring the surface of the moon depending on the situation. This is primarily due to the fact that the main story does end up becoming a little predictable after the halfway point and also ends rather abruptly, though at least the tension of exploring a nearly destroyed station and carrying the fate of humanity remains true all the way through to the ending. That being said, while Deliver Us The Moon starts out rather strongly it does end up losing steam as the game progresses through its fairly short length, running only a bit over four hours even when tracking down collectibles. There are certain collectibles that are unmissable to make sure that players are able to keep up with the story beats but exploration is key to really enjoy most of what the game has to offer as the extra collectibles provide extra context and depth to most events. Most of the story is presented through audio logs, hologram recordings, and notes located on terminals that players will need to find in the environment, allowing for some fascinating storytelling where only small pieces of the story are actually told in real time and most of what is discovered are bits and pieces of the past that unveil the fate of the station and those who resided onboard. While most of humanity gave up hope, a small group of scientists managed to scavenge enough resources over the course of five years to make one last desperate chance for the moon with a single person vessel in an attempt to not only find out what happened but once again, deliver the moon’s power to the people.ĭeliver Us The Moon quickly drives home how desperate the situation is on Earth and how humanity is basically doomed should the player fail to accomplish their mission. Through the use of a newly invented Microwave Power Transmission system the energy could be beamed back down to Earth for humanity to once again thrive.įor some time this seemed like a fine solution until the MPT suddenly went dark in 2054 leaving Earth with no hope left for the future as no communication could be made with those that operated the facility.
With dust storms sweeping the planet and over a third of the surface already transformed into a desert, the World Space Agency managed to use what few resources were left to colonize the moon in 2032 and locate a powerful energy source, the Helium-3 isotope. Set in the not too distant future the world has come together to deal with a climate crisis unlike anything the world has seen before on top of dwindling resources to keep those who are surviving alive. So with Deliver Us The Moon now arriving on consoles, is this exploration game worth your time? Story Though what if the moon ended up being the only way for humanity to possibly survive? That is the question poised by developer KeokeN Interactive and one that rings rather close to home despite advances made in recent years. Stepping foot on the moon back in 1969 was seen as perhaps one of the biggest steps for mankind and all these years later we may know more about space than before but have never once returned to the moon.
