The object
The object
In the game, the Moon has been colonized, and due to political conflicts, the Lunar colonies are rebelling against the United Nations. The player is on the side of the Lunar alliance, fighting against United Nation forces. The game later takes a twist, when an alien species is discovered. This game is the sequel to Rebel Moon. Rebel Moon was only released in a bonus disk with the Creative Labs hardware "3D BLASTER PCI". The series was also planned to have a third game, titled Rebel Moon Revolution, but it was cancelled by GT Interactive. Due to insufficient communications about the cancellation, Fenris Wolf instated a lawsuit against GT Interactive. The PC shareware version of Rebel Moon Rising is included on disc 2 of the EIDOS Interactive game Blood, copyright 1997. A novelization of Rebel Moon, written by Beale and Bruce Bethke was published in 1996.

Reception
Loyd Price, reviewing the game for Computer Gaming World in September 1997, gave it three out of five stars. Price praised the game's mission design and multiplayer, but described the sprite-based graphics as "a little dated" and said the game's oxygen management system and arbitrary puzzle designs "add a jarring and frustrating element to an otherwise solid game". The game was commercially unsuccessful. Beale claimed the release of Quake at about the same time made gaming consumers look for 3D games, rather than the "2.5D" of Rebel Moon Rising.
