March to the Moon
A downloadable game for Windows
March to the Moon is a humorous shoot-em-up game with RPG elements where you learn abilities from 12 different skillsets.
You take the role of The Marcher, an adventurer who sets off to kill some rats in a cellar. One thing leads to another and the quest takes him to the moon.
Turn your enemies into skeletons, mummies and vampires as the necromancer. Poison them and burn them while buffing yourself up as the alchemist. Fill them full of arrows and turn them into meat as the hunter. Yes, you can even turn the robots into meat.
But don't stop there! Learn a second skillset to get the dual-class paladin-necromancer you've always wanted but haven't known how to ask for.
March to the Moon was originally released on the XBox360 as part of XBLIG in 2012. It was re-created in Unity in 2025.
Reviews
"March to the Moon is quite literally everything I've ever wanted in a vertical-scrolling shooter, and even more I didn't know I wanted. Combine the bizarre plot and enemies that continue as the difficulty levels scale comfortably, with the immediate ability to build (and rebuild at will) a character with whatever weapons, skills, and abilities you prefer, and you have a deeply-customizable, immensely-replayable RPG-shooter. Bottom line, buy it. It comes with the highest recommendation I can offer." -The XBLIG
"I don't really know of anyone who could say this game isn't fun and afterall isn't that what we want from our games?" -Dannie Kitten
"One thing I really liked about this game was the way the skillset system was setup. It's nothing short of brilliant." -OtakuDante
XBLIG Pick by Indie Games the Weblog
"Offering a vast amount of customization and replay value, MTTM is a highly amusing bullet-hell stroll to the stars.", "Unlocking Spiky Hair by getting over 9000 exp points? I laughed hard!" -XBLIGR
