The game is a cooperative action-adventure for up to four players, set on the Moon, where players take on the role of astronauts who crash-landed and must gather materials to build a rocket and return to Earth. The lunar surface features deep canyons and sprawling craters, and players explore using jetpacks, grappling hooks, and vehicles such as a beat-up buggy, trucks, and motorcycles. They collect wreckage from spacecraft and valuable resources, while also mining ore in caves and fighting red spherical enemies. The game supports online co-op, with solo play possible but not recommended. A failed weld can cause the rocket to explode, turning it into what the developer calls the galaxy's biggest fireworks. The standard price is 920 yen, with a 40% launch discount bringing it to 552 yen until August 4. This is Castello's third commercial release and their first non-VR game, following their previous VR titles.","whyItMatters":"This release marks Castello's first non-VR game, signaling a shift in the studio's output beyond the VR titles they have previously focused on.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eMoon Crashers is now available on Steam, priced at 920 yen with a 40% launch discount to 552 yen until August 4.
