Can Someone Explain Mooncrash?

[troy_cummings]

I don't understand what exactly I'm supposed to be doing. I get that there's 5 characters I can play as, and the point is to escape the moonbase, and there's 5 ways to escape.

Do I have to escape with all 5 characters? Can I just use one character and replay them 5 times to escape the 5 different ways? Am I supposed to use certain characters to escape certain ways, like does each character have a certain way they're supposed to escape?

Yes to your last question. The character description and objective in the transcribe both tell you your characters true escape route to advance their story.

But the real point is to test yourself against constantly changing scenarios.

Each character can be kind of "earned" with discovering a way to get out, finding their corpse, etc, and then their bonuses and story bits and such will become more easily available.

The fun in reaching each of them has been amazing for me. But then the added bonus in replayability is that anything can and will get thrown at you - and you do not know what it will be. Sometimes you'll have a loadout on a character that matches the damage you need to deal or items you need to take along, others you'll just get absolutely slammed with stuff you weren't prepared for.

Some folks really like this kind of thing, others not so much. But there's still a lot going for this game mode including backstory and world building, and it's brilliant that way.

the escapes are different for each, like some boxes and dead people are compleatly different, while som are the same; and (if i not mistaken) its also different depending on the order of the ones you pick, like if you pick the volunteer first you get no moon shark. while if you first pick the engineer and then the volunteer you now get a moonshark on the volunteer.

the objectives move every run and change requierments; and with increased corruption enemies gets harder, untill you die from to high corruption.

sometimes(?) enemies will appear where you have already been. iv had a bunch of tentacles appear where iv already killed the moon shark, and im sure there was only a single tentacle there, but when i came back there was like 7 of them. i also back tracked after getting a escape requirment and suddenly there was like a ton of enemies right outside of the rail transport thing. so just cus you have been to a place doesnt make it safe. however most of the time this doesnt happen.

bigger targets also gives you the time things.

the goal is to escape with all five, and order, picking escape option, leaving loot and fighting time is all part of it.
