Lunark Reviews

Who doesn’t like a platforming adventure game? Lunark is a pixel graphic platforming adventure game where you battle your way through various varieties of robots that are essentially a stand in for communism. Nothing like an indie game to have some sort of political message hidden under the surface, not that there’s anything wrong with having a message to share.

Lunark demonstrates cinematic platforming at some of its finest. This sci-fi adventure shouldn't be missed; only be certain you're up for the challenge. The

A loving homage to 16-bit classic Flashback but despite some fun visuals the clumsy controls and combat could have done with a bit more modernisation.

Lunark does an excellent job mimicking cinematic platformers of the ‘90s to its benefit but also to its detriment, resulting in a solid sci-fi tale that can be a bit too frustrating at times.

The last thing I need to talk about is the music.  It is fantastic and my wife kept commenting on how much she loved it as she watched me play.  It harkens back to the 16-bit era and is full of catchy tunes that match each of the levels well.  There is no voice acting in the game, instead, dialogue is just a series of muffled tones.  My playtime was one long session and I had zero bugs or crashes.  It is not online in any way I can see so Quick Resume should work well on Series consoles.
