Should you play it?

Cast into the Great Well, unwanted by the world above. You delve the dark in search of the Old One, your last salvation. Lunacid is a dark fantasy dungeon crawler inspired by Shadow Tower and King’s Field.

What works

  • Strong atmospheric world and music
  • Variety of weapons, spells, and character builds
  • Nostalgic homage to king's field and shadow tower
  • Good value for price with substantial content

Things to keep in mind

  • Combat can feel clunky and unbalanced

  • Some ui and control issues (no key rebinding, no pause)
  • Certain quests and secrets are obscure or require guides
  • Visual style inconsistent due to anime npc portraits
