Gameplay
In Mooncrash, the player has to navigate their way through a Moonbase while surviving and fighting against the Typhon. The gameplay is identical to the normal Story Mode but with one crucial twist; the general map layout remains the same at all times but the layout of enemies, hazards, and loot changes every time. If the player dies at any point during their run, they will restart from the beginning, the stage is reset and the aforementioned layouts change again, making each playthrough unique.

Unlike the normal Story Mode there are five different playable characters, each with their own skills, abilities etc.

The playable characters are the following (based on observation): Out of the above five characters, only Andrius Alekna starts off unlocked and available for use when one plays for the first time. All other characters have to be unlocked through special missions within the simulation itself.
