Savage Moon – Coming this Fall to PSN

+ Posted by Daimion Pinnock // Producer, SCEA

Since July there have been rumors about a “mystery game that SCEA had up its sleeve.” Well, it’s time to put all that speculation to rest. I am pleased to announce that we will be adding yet another exciting downloadable PS3 title to the PSN lineup: Savage Moon.

Coming exclusively to PLAYSTATION Network this fall, Savage Moon is a frantic, action-packed tower defense game in a gritty sci-fi setting. You are tasked with protecting mining facilities from ravenous space bugs using some truly fearsome weaponry. And you’ll need as much strategy as firepower as you fend off wave after wave.

Each level in Savage Moon is set on an “Imoon”, or a living asteroid, and it is up to you to keep the mining facilities safe. These Imoons are rich in mineral deposits that humanity needs to survive, but such riches come with great risk as the native creatures living there will stop at nothing to end the mining. These giant deadly creatures are called “Insectocytes.” They come in all shapes and sizes and you will need to have a balanced strategy to fend them all off and keep the mining facilities safe.

To defend the mines, you start off with machine gun towers and can expand your arsenal to include wide range of weaponry and heavy artillery. This is where your strategizing skills come into play. It’s up to you when to upgrade, add new towers, or save your money, and your strategies will make the difference between escaping unscathed and watching the mines go up in flames. You have to place the tower defenses in areas where they will be most effective in killing the different kinds of Insectocytes before they make it to the mining facilities. And as you kill the Insectocytes, you earn valuable points that you can use to upgrade the size and firepower of your defenses, and to develop new weapons and technologies.

Savage Moon is addictive and the action is relentless, making it fun no matter what your skill level is. The action is intense, but you also have to think and have a solid strategy to survive. The best players can even post their scores to the online leader boards to see how they stack up.

There is much more to come on Savage Moon soon, so keep a lookout for news right here on PlayStation.Blog.

Why don’t you guys make a strategy game that’s not a tower defense game?

Does this game have trophies? Why don’t you developers learn. Look what happen to Uncharted, and Super Stardust HD. I had several people on my buddy list that got those games just for the trophies. Add trophies, and people like myself will buy it

Sounds like a concept from Starship Troopers, but you guys were the first to develop it and it’s on the PS3.

I’ll have to check out the demo.

Sure hope you’re going to provide a demo.

Thanks for the post.

It looks like StarShip Troopers meets PixelJunk Monsters – and that’s not necessarily a bad thing!!!!

+ C-h-a-o-s on August 26th, 2008 at 5:09 pm said:

Hope this game will be nothing like starship troopers, it looks really similar.

+ Zaku on August 26th, 2008 at 5:16 pm said:

Can’t wait. My only grudge is the graphics. The graphics could use some polishing.

+ DryvBy on August 26th, 2008 at 6:58 pm said:

Trophies?

+ deadxbabiesxinc on August 27th, 2008 at 4:45 am said:

well gee. Another PSN game…do you guys know how highly addicting those games are?!? My girlfriend and I are playing Pixeljunk Eden like crazy right now XD

I believe someone who had a hand in making this game already said think “Pixeljunk monsters + Starship troopers” so…if you think that they are copying starship troopers or something…there ya go
