Kicking back with a game that clearly harkens back to early first-person RPGs, Lunacid offers up a gaming experience that is as mysterious and curious as its name is difficult to know how to pronounce.

The fantasy RPG has you dungeon-crawling and exploring its sprawling game world utilising a range of spells and weapons. The game is inspired by early FromSoft games Shadow Tower and King’s Field and it won’t take you long once you delve into its cavernous and claustrophobic dungeon environments to see why. The presentation brings you right back to the best of what classic RPGs had to offer and exploration is rewarded thoroughly through some particularly well hidden secrets.

If you, like me, are getting old and appreciate developers that are keeping old school gameplay styles and environments alive in the modern gaming world, you'll have a soft spot for Lunacid.
