I never got around to watching Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon film series on Netflix. So, before I started playing an early version of Blood Line: A Rebel Moon Game through Netflix Games, I was nervous I wouldn't understand what was happening. But you don't need to have seen the films to enjoy this mobile game.
Super Evil Megacorp, the team behind the award-winning game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate, developed Blood Line: A Rebel Moon Game in collaboration with Snyder. The game is a whole new story with a fresh cast of characters set within the Rebel Moon universe.
Here's what you should know about Netflix's Rebel Moon tie-in game, Blood Line, before you get started.
Blood Line's story fits into Rebel Moon, but you don't need to have seen the films
This new Rebel Moon story is set on the planet Krypt, and it features an original cast of characters. Netflix
The game begins when your character decides to rebel against the Imperium -- think the Empire from Star Wars. You link up with other rebels, carry out raids and attacks on Imperium strongholds and use resources to upgrade weapons and loadout.
All this takes place on the planet Krypt, which fans of the films might recognize as an ally of the Imperium. According to Snyder, this choice led to some cool ideas.
"We find out what makes the Krypteians such capable warriors," Snyder said in a video shown in a press briefing. "What if a rift formed between these two cultures who have aligned for a thousand years … and what if that rift exploded into a planet-wide rebellion?"
But you don't need to know the lore of the films to enjoy this game, because this is a fun mobile game you can play with your friends or by yourself. The different classes of characters let you take on missions how you want, and the quick missions offer enough of a challenge to keep you coming back to try and perfect your run.
