Lunacid is a love letter to FromSoftware’s classic King’s Field series as well as the first-person dungeon crawlers of old. Despite its early access state, Lunacid shows an insane amount of promise with its haunting atmosphere and satisfying sense of discovery and just might impress even those who, like myself, have never played a single King’s Field game in their life.

Let’s take a closer look in this review of Lunacid captured on PC.

  • I NEED more kingsfield-like games, something about them scratches an itch I have
  • @Eener1000
    Having put a few hours into Lunacid now after being intrigued by the Kingsfield atmosphere; I think the biggest difference is "purpose" and " direction". In the Kingsfield games even when wandering around it all feels purposefull, like you are working towards something. The biggest pitfall for Lunacid is that it feels like you wander around aimlessly and aren't even guided. I managed to stumble into and through pretty much every zone in the game without realizing. Never did it really feel like I had a purpose anywhere except walk around in the very samey areas. I love the atmosphere, but this game needs help from someone who is good with gameflow and level design, then this game would be really banger since they nailed the looks, sounds and feel and it is coded decently.

    Very well put together video as always. Having experience in video editing myself it's very clear you try hard to make professional content that's heavy on scripting and editing. It takes time but I think it makes for the best videos and you do it really well! Lunacid looks like a really atmospheric game and even though I'm more of a fan of linear action games, I think its great that a market still exist for this retro styled throwback games.

    Oh my god im so glad this game is getting videos. I played lunacid the first day it was playable and have replayed it every single time there was an update. This game is absolute perfection. Its a beautiful love letter to kingsfield and the developer kira has put so much love and detail into this game. The music is amazing and the game is just all too fun. And for those who find the secret of the tape it leaves such a heartwarming wonderful message and lesson.

    So glad to find this game! As fan of KF absolutely love it! Thank you!
  • This game starts with an amazing atmosphere, but it doesn't take long before you realize you have allies (I expected a solitary and gloomy experience), you can be easily overpowered and later scenarios are not as spooky as the beginning. I think they have a winning formula, and i hope I see new games like this, but I hope they make longer games in this genre with a more balanced combat as well.
  • @Awakiia
    sick video, very well put together
  • @wrongviewer
    Great concise and comprehensive review! You could slow down just a tiny bit when you speak though. .75 almost sounded normal
  • @hattron6704
    Very cool game, the video structure kept me interested throughout the video. 👍
  • @Ronsilk-pu5hr
    I thought I was the only one who loved Kings field back in the ps1 days. Lol
  • This is one of the games that I'm temped to break my personal guideline of not playing early access games on. I'm too casul to deal with King's Field itself.
  • @-Bile-
    This is one of my favorite games.
  • @Jay_kaying
    Is this game still in development? The last update was in April 14th, 4 months ago.
