Fall is upon us my fellow tower defense addicts and the release of Savage Moon is imminent. You should have entered your annual leave period so the timing is perfect, so be sure to stock up on all the essential beverages and prepare to bunker in. To tide you over until the full game is available you can download the video trailer from the PSN store. For the bandwidth constrained amongst us, it weighs in at a whopping 52MB, but it is worth every eye popping pixel.

After watching the trailer on loop for a couple of minutes to soak up the goodness that Savage Moon alludes to, I can share the following. The trailer shows a few brief moments from a level called Agamemnon, on one of the moons. You need to destroy the swarm of enemies that are hell bent on destroying your mine. Simple enough right. You get to research technology and then upgrade your weapons. Awesome! And then the trailer ends all too soon…

What can’t be seen from the trailer is whether they have managed to make a non invasive control system and mesh it with a decent camera angle. I hope we will see a highly polished game when it is finally released that easily allows you to place towers, and that the camera just works without you having to move it around the whole time.

Savage Moon is a downloadable PS3 title that will be coming exclusively to the PlayStation Network, hopefully very soon now. For more Savage Moon news and screenshots head over to our previous coverage.
