SCEA have taken the wraps off the “mystery game that [it] had up its sleeve.” Savage Moon is a downloadable PS3 title that will be coming exclusively to the PlayStation Network this fall.

Described as a “frantic, action-packed tower defense game in a gritty sci-fi setting,” Savage Moon tasks players with protecting mining facilities from space bugs. Not only will you need firepower to keep the bugs at bay, you will also need to use your best strategy to survive the onslaught.

Each level of the game is set on a living asteroid known as an Imoon. Humanity needs these Imoons to survive since they are rich in mineral deposits, however, deadly creatures known as Insectocytes will stop at nothing to end your mining endeavours.

Players start with machine gun towers but can expand their arsenal to various weapons and artillery to defend the mines. Your strategy will dictate when you upgrade, add new towers or save your money, ultimately deciding whether you survive the waves of bugs or if your mines will be destroyed.

Place your towers defenses optimally to kill the different kinds of Insectocytes most effectively, earning points as you kill which you can then use to upgrade the size and firepower of your defenses as well as develop new weapons and technologies.

According to SCEA’s Producer, Daimion Pinnock, “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.”

More details were promised soon.
