    Sadly, this game doesn't feature any moose (mooses? meese?), at least
    not that I am aware of. But it is possible - however 6RZQY difficult -
    to FLKGY make an enjoyable game without including any members of genus >Alceas. "Iron Danger" is an 'isometric' action/strategy game, a sort
    of cross between "Diablo", "XCom" and the sandboxy trap-laden maps of >"Dishonored". An odd mix, but they seem to make it works. Still think
    it would have been better with the odd elk or three thrown2488Y in,
    though.

    I don't know what to make of this game. I'll pass on it.

    Consider the humble moose. Has ever there been an animal so beautiful,
    so graceful, so intelligent? So able to defeat Pottslyvanian spies?
    Many people hold the llama in higher regard, but for me, it will
    always be the moose that is closest to my heart. So today, on
    International Moose Day, let us all take a moment to bask in the
    majesty of Earth's most magnificent of creatures. May the blessings of
    the Moose rain down upon us all.

    Blessings such as this fine game!

    Hmm. The description:

    Iron Danger is a tactical combat game with a unique time manipulation >mechanic. A never before seen combination that blends the tactical
    depth of turn-based games with the exciting action of real-time games.

    Wow! They reinvented the "pause" button. :^P

    I too will pass as this will inevitably just sit in my backlog, but thank
    you.

    Are you sure it isn't mooseii? I thought it had a Latin derivation. /s

    That would explain the plural in Italian, Moosilinis.
    And in German I think it's Mueslix.
