Description

From the creator of Lost in Vivo and Spooky’s Jump Scare Mansion, Lunacid is a horror ARPG from a bygone era. Immerse yourself in a dark, desperate world full of foes, lost souls, and hidden secrets.

A World Shrouded in Darkness

Long ago, the Great Beast arose from the sea and covered the earth in poison fog. Choking out the land of both life and light, a new era of wonderous misery began.

Centuries have passed. The once hallowed halls and bustling streets are mere shadows. Those deemed undesirable are thrown into the Great Well, a pit of chaos and disease. Cast into its depths for crimes unknown, you awaken in this moonlit subterranean world. Your only hope lies with the sleeping Old One deep below. But many perils lie between you and your ultimate goal.

An Era Lost to Time

From the mind of horror master Akuma Kira, Lunacid harkens to a lost era of first-person ARPGs. Legendary for their meticulous design and dense dungeons, the King’s Field series was the Dark Souls before there was a Dark Souls. Long abandoned by AA/AAA developers, the mantle of “King’s-Like” is left to the humble indie. Which is great, because that's where all the cool weird stuff comes from anyways.

The world of Lunacid is bursting at the seams with new things to discover, from hidden magics to secret areas. This isn’t just the odd room with a chest in it; entire new areas await those with a watchful eye. Esoteric puzzles and cryptic hints galore are sure to confound and delight even the experienced dungeon delver.

Tactile Combat

Take yourself back to a time before dodge rolling. Swipe, backstep, block, and overcome foes with patience and persistence. Featuring a robust body targeting system and unique elemental weaknesses/resistances, each encounter becomes a skilful yet deadly dance of death. Begin your journey as a thief, knight, cleric, or… vampire? Building your character up to you.

An Arsenal to Uncover

Over 75 weapons await you in the fetid halls of Lunacid. 37 Unique spells, each with applications beyond the obvious. Finding them all, however, is another matter. Unless you use a guide. Which hey, we won’t judge.┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌

Classic RPG Challenge

Don’t forget to save.

Featuring dozens of hours of gameplay and multiple endings, Lunacid is a rich and rewarding take on a classic formula. Relics of past game design long abandoned lie in wait. So jump in the Great Well and let the wonders of Lunacid surprise you. Mimics might just steal your silver instead of eat you.

I wanted to enjoy this dungeon crawler, but sadly could not. It is not immersive whatsoever and falls short in many (if not all) aspects. - It lets you pick different character classes, but they don't have a real

One of the best games I've come across in years is right here, relatively hidden, for less than 15$. It even runs perfectly on my potato. If you're looking for a straightforward RPG, have a taste for retro and are ready

I usually don’t have much respect for projects that try to coast almost purely on nostalgia. It was charming back in 2012~2013, when the indie scene was exploding, reviving and refreshing genres that had been dormant

The game has been translated into 11 languages, but as usual, indie developers don't like French, even though it's the sixth most spoken language in the world. The game quickly becomes too easy because the balance needs

The game is a fun, retro throwback. Great for running around, getting lost, trying things, and fighting to the end. However, I will caution that if you want to 100% the game? Just look that ♥♥♥♥ up. Use a guide. There's
