  • Summary: Fight overwhelming odds to escape a secret TranStar moon base where the enemies you encounter, the hazards you face, the goals you complete, and the loot you collect are different each time you play. With changing environments as dangerous as they are dynamic, the Mooncrash campaign for PreyFight overwhelming odds to escape a secret TranStar moon base where the enemies you encounter, the hazards you face, the goals you complete, and the loot you collect are different each time you play. With changing environments as dangerous as they are dynamic, the Mooncrash campaign for Prey will offer a fun, infinitely replayable challenge to test even the most skilled players.
    Story:
    In Prey: Mooncrash, TranStar's secret moon base stopped transmitting shortly after the events of Prey. Now Peter, a hacker stationed aboard a spy satellite tasked with intercepting TranStar communications, must find out why. Trapped and under a ruthless contract with KASMA Corp, Peter's only hope of ever seeing his family again is uncovering the moon base's lost secrets.

    Features:

    Live. Die. Adapt. Escape!
    Escape TranStar's moon base before the Typhon threat takes over. A simple goal, but one with hundreds of viable solutions. In Mooncrash, players will experience an all-new, infinitely replayable, 'rogue-lite' campaign with ever-changing enemies, weapons and objectives against a constantly increasing alien threat.

    Survive How You Want with Who You Want
    Unlock multiple characters as you play, each with their own set of specialized, upgradable skills. Will you forge your path with the resourceful engineer Joan, trade that wrench in for Security Officer Bhatia and his shotgun, or will you choose the frail-but-gifted Andrius and his arsenal of psychic abilities? Prey is about choices, and those choices belong to you.

    Search for Secrets, Lootand a Way Off
    Arkane Studios' talent for detail and story-rich environments comes alive in Mooncrash. As you explore the station, which is the same size and scope of four levels of the original game's Talos I station, don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for precious supplies and, of course, Mimics.

    New Challenges, New Solutions
    The Typhon threat has returned with familiar foes and tough new enemies, each armed with a unique set of deadly characteristics. Use the full power of the arsenal at your disposal, including popular weapons and abilities from Prey's main game, to fight for your life and make a mad dash for your escape.

    Prey: Typhon Hunter
    Mooncrash includes Prey: Typhon Hunter, an online multiplayer update. Typhon Hunter is a lethal game of hide-and-seek between a single survivor (Morgan Yu) and five other players who stalk, hunt, and hide in plain sight as shape-shifting Mimic aliens. Every object is a potential enemy. Will Morgan or the Mimics prevail?

    TranStar VR is a single player VR-only campaign included in the Typhon Hunter update. This campaign puts you in the shoes of various TranStar employees as you complete objectives and solve intricate puzzles on Talos I, just days before the events of Prey.

    Story expansions are fun for most titles but this completely separate rogue-like experience is a refreshing way to revisit the Prey universe and is a justifiable purchase for all survival simulation fans.

    Mooncrash is a DLC focused on the combat and survival aspect of Prey. In spite of the fact that these were not the best aspects of the game, Arkane Studios manages to offer something fresh and innovative that works so well.

    Those who yearn for more gadgets will be disappointed, as Mooncrash only offers a few, such as the admittedly cool Psychostatic Cutter energy dagger. However, the expansion pack’s achievement is more substantial than a bunch of doodads thanks to how it takes the promise of the base game, slices out the fat around it, and then serves up an experience as thrilling as it is challenging.

    The roguelike elements, a variety of characters with unique playstyles, and quick run times make Mooncrash easily replayable and fun in short play sessions. While Prey was a solid title, Mooncrash is a quality portion of the game that is comparable to the main game.

    It's not the single-player expansion you were expecting, but Mooncrash will give you another juicy chunk of Prey's horror/sci-fi action, with a challenging loop-style gameplay.

    Mooncrash is an excellent piece of DLC that allows the more creative elements of Prey to shine.

    If at first you don’t succeed and find yourself horribly mauled to death by a lunar landshark, try try again. Prey: Mooncrash takes the core elements of Prey and tweaks them to provide a new and immersive experience that offers a fresh new spin on Arkane Studio’s fantastic game of spacebound paranoia.

    WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! How did Prey and Mooncfrash get missed is my question right now. I bought Prey last month for cheap because it had soWOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! How did Prey and Mooncfrash get missed is my question right now. I bought Prey last month for cheap because it had so much bad press when it came out from haters and it killed the chance this game had. Finished it and one of the best games I have ever played hands down. So that got me looking at the DLC Mooncrash and this even was better then Prey. I am in shock this bundle that plays exactly like a combination of Half Life, Bio Shock and Dishonored did not get the acclaim it should of. We are now in 2020 and these two games stand up 3 years later like they would if they were released today! BRAVO and people buy them for cheap and play these two masterpieces of gaming art. Incredible!!!… Expand
