OVERVIEW

Exclusively for PS3 and downloadable on PLAYSTATION Network, Savage Moon is an action-packed tower-defense game featuring some of today’s hottest graphics, the finest weaponry known to man and adrenaline-pumping situations that put players’ strategy skills to the test. Developed by FluffyLogic, Savage Moon tasks players to protect a remote mining operation (located on an “Imoon”) from ravenous attack waves made by different enemy creatures, known as Insectocytes, who are trying to wipe out the facility.

To protect the mining facility, players will be given basic machine gun towers and a wide array of weapons to choose from that they will have to strategically place where it is most effective in destroying the constant wave of attacks. Players will have an opportunity to upgrade the size and firepower of their weapons throughout the game, as well as obtain new defense towers, upgrade existing towers, purchase supporting equipment and develop new technologies by redeeming points and credits earned in each level.

As the player advances, the action moves towards the heart of the Imoon where the landscape becomes more challenging and Insectocytes become tougher, spawning more deadly versions of themselves.

Savage Moon is instantly accessible and perfect for players of all levels. Additionally, the game offers true replayability though the massive range of strategy choices open to the player and online ranking boards to allow competition on a global scale.

FEATURES

• Huge enemies, Huge weapons – The space bugs just get bigger and bigger, and so must the player’s weapons to keep pace. The right arrangement of weapons is essential for keeping the ravenous insects at bay.
• Massive Range of Strategies – A simple objective, but a huge choice of ways to achieve it. Arrange rows of machine guns, or stick with a few massive weapons. Choose power over speed, or block routes to put the space bugs in the firing line for longer.
• Global Online Rankings – Compete for the highest scores against the best planet Earth has to offer.

Not that far off if they hit the planned November release.

FluffyLogic has signed a deal with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) for the production of a PlayStation 3 game for Sony's PSN download network. FluffyLogic's Ana Kronschnabl said, "We're really pleased to be working with Sony on new games for the PlayStation 3 - its a great console that has exceeded many of our expectations in terms of what we can create, allowing us to do some amazingly creative things...we can't say what as yet because the project is still under wraps, but suffice to say we are all very excited!"

Haha it does! A couple of those screenshots look like they could have been straight out of the ST movie.

I love PM and ST so if this game comes out any good this will end up being a must buy.

Savage Moon – Coming this Fall to PSN

Originally Posted by Daimion Pinnock // Producer, SCEA

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.

Really, either side would have a good lawsuit. . . . . hope there's a demo.

Well except that tower defense games have existed for at least like 2 decades. =)
