Description

A pulp adventure set in the midst of a rebellion against a totalitarian regime.

You play as Leo, a lonely young orphan with unique physical and physiological characteristics that arouse the curiosity – if not the hatred – of its fellow citizens. You’ll help him fulfill his destiny in the midst of a rebellion against LUNARK, and meet a wide cast of colorful characters, stuck on either side of the escalating conflict.

LUNARK is a 2D cinematic platformer in the vein of the ’90s classics. Run, jump, and shoot your way through gorgeous and mysterious locations!

Negative Comment(s)

Lunark is a worthy homage to retro narrative platformers like Flashback and Prince of Persia.70dannysgamebox
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.60Metro GameCentral
