Moon can be compared in some ways to EarthBound, another parodic JRPG that was titled Mother 2 in Japan (there are still people who are holding out for an official English port of Mother 3) or the more recent indie sensation Undertale.

Moon’s release in the west will mark the first time that an official English translation of the “anti-RPG” is available, and will definitely excite fans of JRPG history.

Moon: Remix RPG Adventure is being reinvigorated for the Switch by Onion Games, a company created by original members of Love-de-Lic. Moon is all about flipping JRPG tropes around and taking a look at the genre from a different perspective, showing you what’s left of the world after the hero’s through with it. Maybe spending so much time focused on the RPG genre got the team wondering why no one ever seems to mind the “hero” barging in to their house to steal all the stuff in the cabinets, or why no one minds that the “hero” is slaughtering every living thing in sight? Good guys seem to leave a lot of chaos in their righteous wake. ![]() Developer Love-de-Lic was founded by previous members of Square, storied developer of beloved RPGs like the original Final Fantasy titles and Chrono Trigger.
