Celebrating their first ever game launch as a newly formed indie dev studio, Black Mermaid has created a challenging, non-linear, souls-like action game that will test your skills and leave you wanting more. The good news is you can play it today on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10\/11, and also with Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta).<\/p>\n

Moonscars<\/em> <\/a><\/strong>initially broke out earlier this year when it was announced and the small dev team revealed a slick high-frame combat animation that wowed fans on Reddit. Since then the team, who is based in Moldova and comprised of key members \u0218tefan Semionov (artist) and Alexandru Romanciuc (programmer), along with Andriy Moroz (game designer), have been working night and day (literally) to bring their dream concept to reality.<\/p>\n

One of the key things that makes Moonscars<\/em> stand out is it\u2019s stunning and unique painterly look, which was inspired by the Dutch oil painting masters like Rembrandt. This led them to create a world using a muted palette of dark grays, with color accents, which perfectly encapsulates the world\u2019s environment in which you play. On top of this great foundation the team layered smooth, hand drawn animations, quick and responsive combat controls, an interesting story plot with twists and turns and finally an incredibly likeable, if not somewhat disturbed, lead female protagonist (she has reasons, believe me).<\/p>\n

In Moonscars<\/em>, you will be put to the test as you unravel the mystery of Grey Irma\u2019s world. Every death is a lesson learned \u2013 and as you overcome each challenge, new truths will be revealed. As the fierce clayborne warrior Grey Irma, you must push your combat skills to the limit and master new abilities to progress through an unforgiving nonlinear 2D world. Facing off against the relentless, destructive darkness and cruel mistress, the Moon, your quest is to find the Sculptor and unravel the mystery of your existence.<\/p>\n
