What is Moadra?

Moadra is a dark sci-fi Metroidvania from Gloomsoft, set on Protea VI roughly 20,000 years after an extinction event. You explore an interconnected alien world, recover the lost Neera heritage, and confront the planet's buried secrets.

Movement is survival: roll, dodge, leap, wall jump, and sprint through hostile terrain while the scanner bot and X-ray vision expose hidden routes. Destroyed organisms drop Protoplasm, which you spend in organic chambers to trigger metamorphosis and evolve Moadra's weapons and abilities.

Eight focused Moadra guides cover the opening hours, Protoplasm upgrades, boss fights, exploration, combat, controls, PC specifications, and launch news.

Moadra Beginner Guide

Learn the first-hour routine for Protea VI: set up controls, test the movement kit, map the opening zone, and approach new enemies with patience.

1Check control and accessibility settings, then test attack, dodge, and jump timing in a safe room.
2Learn the map legend, mark locked routes, and identify what a checkpoint looks like.
3Fight one new enemy type at a time and watch its wind-up before committing to a second attempt.
4Prioritize mobility and survivability upgrades early so bad fights are easier to escape.
5Revisit marked ledges and sealed paths after each new traversal ability.
Read Full Guide

Moadra Abilities and Upgrade Guide

Understand the Protoplasm loop and choose upgrades that improve mobility, survivability, weapon damage, and traversal.

S Tier

Mobility and survivability upgrades come first because escaping a bad fight beats trying to win it.

A Tier

Weapon damage is the next step: shorter fights leave fewer chances to make a mistake.

B Tier

Traversal and utility abilities open shortcuts and make backtracking across Protea VI faster.

C Tier

Specialized tools are situational, but they answer specific threats and blocked routes.

Read Full Guide

Moadra Boss Guide

Prepare for multi-phase encounters with full resources, arena scans, readable telegraphs, and a controlled plan for phase transitions.

ScoutUse a scout run to watch attack patterns without chasing damage.
ScanX-ray scan the arena for hazards, ledges, and safe zones before engaging.
PhasesCreate distance at each transition, learn the new pattern, then look for damage windows.
Read Full Guide

Moadra Map and Secrets

Read Protea VI like a puzzle by scanning rooms, checking suspicious surfaces, and returning with the traversal tools that turn dead ends into shortcuts.

WallsTest long blank walls with jumps and wall jumps for hidden vertical routes.
CeilingsCheck ceiling corners and cracked surfaces for breakable passages.
Map GapsOpen the map after major rooms and investigate gaps between explored areas.
Read Full Guide

Moadra Weapons and Combat Guide

Build a reliable combat rhythm around spacing, telegraphs, ranged options, and the full movement kit instead of trading hits.

SpacingFight in open rooms and keep roll, dodge, and wall-jump routes available.
TelegraphReact to the wind-up rather than the strike, then punish the recovery.
ArsenalUse ranged and melee tools together instead of saving every option for a later boss.

InputXbox, DualSense, and DualShock gamepads are supported, with DualShock listed as USB only.
TextAdjustable text size and subtitle options keep scanner data and story dialogue readable.
QTE-freeEnable the QTE-free option to remove quick-time-event inputs from the campaign.
