Solo developer Dr. Kucho! Games has announced that retro action platformer Moons of Darsalon will come to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on February 6th. You are tasked with rescuing your lost colleagues and escorting them to the closest base using voice commands and AI logic. Along the way you will need to protect them from a variety of threats of alien lifeforms using your laser gun, jetpack, space truck, and drop ship. An advanced physics system lets you manipulate terrain to build new paths or cut your way through the ground and around obstacles.
This looks incredible, folks. Check out some additional features and a brand-new trailer below. Oh, and if you don't want to wait for its console release, Moons of Darsalon is available now on Steam, and it's Steam Deck Verified.

And of course, we cannot miss the good old CRT filter!
