Critic Reviews for Lunarium
Without the technical issues, Lunarium is a solid ARPG that deserves your attention.
Lunarium is a gem of an action RPG with Soulslike elements, and its key narrative focus on the bond between its main characters makes it stand out all the more.
Lunarium is an excellent game that comes very close to being an all-time classic. There needed to be less repetitive and tedious dialogue so as to let the visuals tell the story. The visuals are so impressive that developers should trust them and the players to connect the dots. If it had to rely on dialogue, some voice acting would have been appreciated. If it had a more rousing soundtrack and a hard difficulty mode, Lunarium would have been a masterclass action-adventure game.
Lunarium is an action-rpg permeating with a wistful atmosphere that delicately embraces the best aspects of the souls-like genre while forgoing much of what can make them frustrating.
Lunarium almost works to introduce Souls-inspired isometric ARPG to interested players. Combat satisfies while the story underserves its themes with a rocky narrative structure. Some will find Ave and Lune’s relationship the core of their experience, while others will enjoy the smaller, easily navigable levels. Lunarium shoots for the moon and lands among the Starfarers.
Lunarium works because it knows exactly the kind of experience it wants to deliver. It isn't interested in becoming the biggest Soulslike on the market or replacing the genre's giants. Instead, it's about delivering a finely-tuned adventure where gorgeous environments, satisfying combat, and a heartfelt partnership guide you from start to finish.
Lunarium is a beautiful & gorgeous indie-level action role-playing game with a lovely amount of challenge and a few unfinished text bits and user interface options to sort out.
