Shacknews fights to restore destiny in its review of Lunarium, the hand-drawn isometric ARPG featuring dual-protagonist gameplay from developer Lunarium Game Studios and publisher Imperfect Games.
Lunarium is the type of game that you’ll know if you’ll enjoy at first glance. It’s an action RPG with an isometric point of view similar to Hades, and an anime-esque art style with characters that look like they were pulled out of Genshin Impact.
Lunarium is a solid ARPG that deserves your attention. If seeing clips or images of the game gets you at all interested, you’ll most likely enjoy what Lunarium has to offer
Save a crumbling world as two women bound by destiny: the knight Ave and starfaring sorceress Lune. Clash blades and sling spells while playing as both of them at once. As Ave, turn foes’ attacks against them with precise parries and deft dodges while casting Lune’s magic to weaken enemies, empower Ave, and alter the environment to their advantage. Synergize the duo’s might to tear down the forces responsible for the world’s demise.
Solve environmental puzzles using Lune’s mysterious powers. Retrieve precious materials scattered across stunning hand-drawn landscapes including ancient frostlands, crumbling castles, and floating archipelagos. Recover from combat in a blessed temple to gather thoughts, upgrade equipment, and recharge the duo’s strength to return to the battlefield in full cosmic force.
Mix and match different embroideries (think of cute charms!) to gain permanent passive abilities, experimenting to find the best combinations for dynamic battles. Raise the heroine’s battle potential through expansive skill trees. Succumb to the fallen world’s beauty with an evocative atmospheric soundtrack adding wonder and intrigue to the adventure. Trace the lost origins of Ave and Lune to reach memorable endings of a compelling story of tragedy and bravery.
