Immerse yourself in an awe-inspiring lunar environment… You can build and pilot your own repair robot in order to fix crucial systems before time runs out. Communicate and coordinate efforts with up to six players (LAN and internet) by using voice over communication.Ī fully functional rover that utilizes lunar physics is available to transport both players and supplies to all reaches of the lunar colony. The fate of a lunar colony rests on the shoulders of you and your team. There are several ways in which you can successfully restore the life support system of the lunar base, but since you are scored on the time spent to complete the task, you have to work effectively as a team, learn from decisions made in previous gaming sessions, and make intelligence decisions in order to top the leaderboards. Team coordination along with the proper use and allocation of your available resources (player controlled robots, rovers, repair tools, etc.) are key to your overall success. With precious minutes ticking away, you and your team must repair and replace equipment in order to restore the oxygen production to the settlement. Returning from a research expedition, you witness a meteorite impact that cripples the life support capability of the settlement. In Moonbase Alpha, you assume the exciting role of an astronaut working to further human expansion and research. Utilizing solar energy and regolith processing, the moonbase has become self-sufficient and plans for further expansion are underway. Shortly after the return to the Moon, NASA has established a small outpost on the south pole of the moon called Moonbase Alpha. NASA has once again landed on the lunar surface with the goal of colonization, research, and further exploration. Moonbase Alpha is a free-to-play space simulation game by NASA taking place on the moon.
