Our take on Moonshot
The focus on short multiplayer battles leaves less room for a story campaign or extended solo structure. Variety comes from tank approaches, match types, weapons, AI opponents, and arena hazards rather than a broader adventure.
What is Moonshot?
Moonshot is a space tank battle game centered on physics-based shooting.
Players can launch shots on curved trajectories, including moves that pass around moons or asteroids before reaching an opposing cockpit. Different tank approaches include a mobile rover with a reflective pulse shield, a tank that uses thrusters for aerial attacks, and Siege mode with a dome shield and heavy shell fire. Tiered weapon power-ups expand the arsenal. Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Last Man Standing are available, alongside local party play and online network play for up to four players. AI opponents have varied abilities and play styles. Arenas contain asteroid belts, solar flares, and a supernova.
