Discover a vast alien world. Fight the ferocious local fauna and killer machines. Reveal its secrets and find a way to escape. The Mobius Machine is a side-scroller action adventure, with an emphasis on free-form exploration and intense combat.
Players can freely navigate the game's seven distinct biomes, from the desolate Spaceship Graveyard to the lush Floating Forests. As they progress, they acquire new abilities like climbing, dashing, and underwater swimming, which unlock access to previously inaccessible areas. This encourages backtracking and open-ended exploration of the complex, labyrinthine environments.
Combat revolves around using a variety of weapons that can be aimed in any direction, allowing for responsive and tactical shooting. Players acquire blueprints to craft new weapons and upgrades, steadily empowering themselves to take on increasingly formidable foes. The game features over 80 unique enemy types, each with distinct behaviors and attack patterns that players must learn to overcome.
Towering boss enemies guard the most valuable gear and upgrades. Defeating these formidable adversaries requires players to utilize their full arsenal of weapons and abilities.
Players can choose between gamepad or mouse/keyboard controls, as well as two difficulty settings: "Standard" and the more punishing "Retro" mode.
