Moon Diver

Moon Diver is a downloadable action game available on PSN and XBLA. It is the Spiritual Successor to Strider, coming from one of that game's original creators.

The year is 2081. Out of nowhere, a child known only as Faust completely destroyed the planet seemingly overnight, with many mechanical beings at his command.
