About

Moon Wars is a free multiplayer game for the PC. It's a 3rd person 3D shooter, but focuses on short games (10-15 minutes) with strategy, resource collecting, and character upgrades.

Moon Wars is an easy game to pickup and enjoy. Those looking for an easy game to play will have fun deathmatching, collecting moon rocks, and upgrading their characters. Those looking for a deeper game will find a lot of strategy in Moon Wars. The ultimate goal is not to kill your opponent but to out resource them. There are many ways to accomplish this, and not all revolve around directly attacking your opponent. Each character is unique and has their own play style, strengths, and weaknesses.
