Step into MOONGATE, a remote research station for interdimensional travel. Now silent and abandoned, its portals still hum with energy, leading to unknown worlds. Enter, discover the horrors beyond and unravel the fate of the station’s crew.
Features
Old-school FPS combat: fight vile creatures in classic first-person shooter style: fast-paced action, a wide range of unique weapons and a multitude of enemies.
Single-player + Co-op: Play the whole campaign solo or with your friends.
Supports online and LAN multiplayer.Gore galore: Stagger your enemies or shoot off body parts to impair their movement and abilities. All gibs and bloodstains stay on floor, leaving a visceral trail that clearly marks your conquered territory.
Full procedural animation: Each enemy is procedurally animated, enabling highly dynamic movement and interaction with the environment. Every motion (down to individual body parts) is calculated in real time using factors like velocity, damping, and frequency.
A nonlinear hub full of locked doors and secrets: The station is your hub. Bring back key items from levels to unlock new areas in the hub, open shortcuts and find hidden powerups.
Randomly-generated levels: No playthrough of a level is the same as an advanced level-generator creates unique rooms, corridors and multi-floor level layouts from hand-made tilesets every time you enter.
