Souls-like 2D platformer Moonscars is out now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The game is also available through Humble Choice and PC and Xbox Game Pass. Check out the launch trailer below.
Moonscars is a metroidvania platformer with a dark, brooding art style. The game features a desaturated colour palette with highlights of contrasting colours like red and yellow.
Moonscars puts players into the shoes of protagonist Grey Irma. Sticking to its Dark Souls inspirations, the game hopes to teach players a new lesson with every death as they try and overcome seemingly-unsurmountable challenges.
As Grey Irma, players will be able to use quite a few combat abilities, such as attacks, parries, and even unique special weapons and magic spells dubbed Witchery.
Moonscars takes place in a dark fantasy setting, with a story described by studio Black Mermaid and publisher Humble Games as “filled with twists and intricate worldbuilding.”
