Friends, do you play Free Fire?
I ask because Garena has just launched a brand-new game. Technically, I didn't need to ask-you probably guessed that since it's from the same developer, Garena, it might share some DNA with Free Fire. But as we all know, not every game from the same studio is a guaranteed hit. So, let's dive into this latest release.
Fellow Moon isn't an action-packed shooter like Free Fire. Instead, it's a strategy-driven RPG. That said, one aspect will feel familiar-like Clash Squad in Free Fire, you'll command a team of four heroes. Beyond that, though, the gameplay is a whole different beast.
The story unfolds in a sprawling, modern metropolis plagued by bizarre and dangerous incidents. As the leader, you'll guide your squad, craft strategies, investigate mysteries, and uncover the truth behind the chaos.
The game's visuals stand out with stylish 2D gacha-inspired art. Expect smooth animations, brisk battles, and a steadily expanding roster of characters.
A War Between Worlds
In Fellow Moon, you play as the captain of the Super Bureau, an elite organization dedicated to stopping "superbeings"-enigmatic entities that trigger extraordinary disasters.
Your personal mission? Recover your lost memories, confront terrifying "super-ghosts," and save the city from spiraling into disaster.
A City Full of Secrets
The game blends everyday urban life with hidden supernatural layers. Behind peaceful streets, you'll stumble upon ancient castles, shadowy theaters, mist-filled teahouses, and round-the-clock antique shops-each hiding its own story.
You'll also meet distinct factions, each led by powerful figures with unique agendas:
-
Longjing of Quanliantang - a disciplined and enigmatic warrior.
-
Otok of the Candlelight Sect - a master of forbidden rituals.
-
Hakum of Hexiangyi - a cunning and unpredictable strategist.
Fast-Paced Strategy
While you still lead a squad of four, Fellow Moon swaps real-time shooting for turn-based combat. Victory depends on careful planning rather than lightning reflexes.
Hero Elements & Roles
Each hero aligns with an element-fire, water, earth-and takes on a battle role such as damage dealer, tank, or support. Building a well-balanced team is crucial.
Special Abilities
Heroes can unleash cinematic, high-impact moves that can turn the tide in a pinch.
Formations & Synergy
Your lineup and how you coordinate abilities often mean the difference between triumph and defeat.
Collect, Upgrade, Dominate
Using a classic 2D anime-style gacha system, you can summon an array of characters-supernatural beings, mechanical warriors, master fighters, and even guest anime heroes.
Earn in-game currency through challenges to unlock new recruits.Enhance your squad by:

Battle Experience
Combat blends tactical depth with sleek presentation. Before each turn, you'll set your attack, defense, and special actions-then watch your plan unfold in beautifully animated sequences.
The pacing strikes a sweet spot: quick enough to keep you engaged, yet measured enough to let you think several moves ahead. Ideal for strategy lovers.
Storytelling & Voice Talent
