Summary
- Mighty cows and milk-powered weapons
- Addictive multiplayer mode in a free demo
- Hand-crafted graphics and self-recorded music for an immersive experience
Moo Lander is coming to Xbox One! The game’s free demo has it all – unlockable milk arsenal abilities, worthy enemy AI, cow boss battles, beautiful art style, self-recorded orchestral music, RPG elements, multiplayer and lots of milk! And now you can experience all these features on your Xbox One console.
The Sixth Hammer game studio has updated their special demo just for the Xbox consoles – bigger, better, more beautiful than ever, more challenging than before! Packing a nice 30 to 40-minute single-player campaign and almost limitless multiplayer fun with three addictive modes – PvP, PvE, and milk soccer simulator.
What Is New?
Since our last demo iteration of Moo Lander, we have added numerous awesome new features to the game! Gameplay mechanics like camouflage modules and Lander tech are making a debut. Now you can unlock the “milk shield”, used to block enemy fire and deflect special projectiles, the “milk saber” to slash away at every hostile creature out there, and a completely new gameplay system – the Camouflage Modules. Last, but not least, is our completely revamped UI system – every bit of the game now has beautiful and user-friendly interface. Milk hunting has never been so mesmerizing!
The Ancient Mighty Cows
The cow bosses are called the “Ancient Mighty Cows”, and they are back! And with a completely new rework to our home-brewed cow AI to boot. You can expect angrier, harder cows to battle, both in the mooltiplayer arenas and in the single-player endgame. The talented developers over at our indie game studio have added some interesting options to select different bovine species for the mooltiplayer, where you can play as a cow. Challenge yourself with our multi-phase cow boss battles and master the Lander’s tech to defeat them.
Demo Length
With all that being said, the new Moo Lander demo is extended to about 30-40 (and even longer on harder difficulty) minutes of intense gameplay, not including the mooltiplayer options. There are also four new difficult levels added – story mode, cheasy, challenge and legendairy. The story mode is an excellent way to enjoy Moo Lander without any difficulty whatsoever, and the cheasy option is our version of the normal playthrough. The challenge option is for seasoned metroidvania veterans and will do exactly that – pose a worthy challenge. The last one is intended for those of you who fancy a souls-like challenge. Expect environmental puzzles as well, and many, many alien creatures along the way to victory. But you don’t have to be alone in this journey – you can invite some friends over to enjoy the four-player couch co-op multiplayer!
The Mooltiplayer
Yes, you are reading it right – Moo Lander has an awesome local mooltiplayer, and it gives you the option to play as the cows! How cool is that? The demo presents several special arena maps and three multiplayer mods – PvP, PvE and Galactic Mooball. Gather some friends to go up against the AI cows, or gear up and do two landers vs. two cows, all controlled by the players. Or if you are a soccer fan, you can team up with a buddy to go up against two other players in our Galactic Mooball mode (you can even play as a Mighty Cow). Moo Lander couch co-op moopltiplayer offers tons of fun with family and friends, all together in front of the TV.
“Mars Is One Beautiful Place!”
With an upgraded art style, graphics, particle effects and shaders, Moo Lander will stun you with beauty and detail. Get to know our world better, immerse yourself within the strange planet that is Mars – with its lush flora, dangerous, but memorable fauna, environmental hazards, and last, but not least – the Ancient Mighty Cows. They protect the cosmic milk, but you need to get it in order to save your dying civilization. While doing this epic quest, you are accompanied by self-recorded orchestral music.
As dedicated game developers and passionate gamers themselves, the team behind this game knows the value and importance of a free game demo. That is why I personally want to present to all of you – our friends, fans and supporters, the chance to experience the adventure that is Moo Lander. It is both our personal adventure, and (I hope) yours as well. And remember – there is a cow level, be part of it!
Moo Lander Demo
The Sixth Hammer
In the game the milk is the purest and most effective resource. You will unlock a unique arsenal of milk weaponry and defenses, while stranded on a dangerous alien world with your faithful ship AI.
Together, you will have to fight and outsmart intelligent enemies, while uncovering the motivation for your character’s journey and the emotional story behind it. You will meet memorable characters and unearth ancient secrets while the story twists and turns at every corner.

You will also be able to get together with your family and friends and have lots of fun with Moo Lander’s up to 4 people couch multiplayer. With vastly different modes to play, you will be able to face each other in a variety of ways. You can even take control of the Mighty Cows and experience an entirely new skill-set, then go up against the heroes of the story in order to protect your Milk!
### A story about the milk
It is all about the milk! The purest and most powerful energy source, rivaled only by the brightest hyper-novae, the milk has been lost after The War with the Anunnaki! Without it, the civilization of the Landers is left on the brink of extinction – so you will have to take the only left interstellar spaceship on a mission to recover an ancient device. This device is believed to be able to produce infinite amounts of milk. Can you get the job done on time? The fate of the Landers is in your hands!
### Alone in an alien world
Moo Lander’s story explores the adventures of the last Hero of the Landers and his trusty AI – Hamilton! You can be a part of this adventure! Experience shocking revelations and discover the secrets of the Mighty Cows, explore the beautiful environments of the game – all handcrafted with passion and devotion, and listen to amazing music along the way. With branching dialog choices and optional action paths, you are in control of the fate of an entire civilization!
### Tame the mighty cows
As you progress through the game, over 20 different types of Mighty Cows will stand in your way. From the darkest dungeon to the steepest peak, these powerful bosses are everywhere and will threaten the mission. We have developed an advanced Cow AI and you will need to master your skills in order to match the cow’s superior intellect! Every single cow boss is cinematically crafted and has its unique attacks, abilities and strategies. A cosmic challenge awaits every single gamer who chooses to be the Hero of The Landers!
### It’s an action RPG
You will gain experience with every enemy defeated, become stronger and unlock new abilities. As you progress further, you’ll equip special arsenal and deploy different ship camouflage modules, tipping the scales of battles in your favor. Gather every last drop of the milk resource and use it for powerful upgrades! Managing this resource carefully is crucial to staying alive and being up to the challenge of Moo Lander!
### Four-player couch multiplayer
Our vastly different multiplayer modes offer numerous ways to play with dozens of different skills and terrains to explore.
You will freeze and burn, spit and stab your way against friends as you take control of a Mighty cow. Master over 20 different species – each will different deadly and powerful attacks.
You’ll be able to harness the milk weaponry and fight together with friends with an arsenal of over 15 different abilities against our fierce Cow AI. Then you can turn on each other in our deathmatch Arenas – carefully crafted for fast-paced PvP combats.
The Arenas in all modes are not just visually different – each offers unique hazards and tactical opportunities. You will need to study the alien world of Moo Lander and learn to use it to your advantage.
Once you figured it out, you can try facing off against our alien flora and fauna – try to survive the enemy waves long enough together with friends. But you should be careful, because all encounters are different – one can never be sure about the best strategy.
After hours of brutal action, you can continue exploring the game by playing our signature Sport – the Galactic Moo-ball! Here you will have to master playing with dozens of different balls – each with its own characteristics. And then show off your skills on all sorts of terrains – boney doors, mazes, teleportation tubes – our multiplayer has it all!
