Lunacid is fundamentally too different from King's Field. It's only real similarity is being a first person game. Lunacid is much faster than KF, and the combat is too easy to spam attacks with. You can directly level your character's stats, leading to a very broken experience very quickly. The setting is far too surrealist to compare even remotely to KF, and the characters with anime styling clash with the rest of the game's more realistic art style. I don't hate anime, it just doesn't really fit in.

It is more similar to Shadow Tower, but even then it is still disappointing. It doesn't go all in on trying to capture KF or ST, and by trying to only capture tiny elements of each it creates this feeling that makes me wish it was more similar to one or the other. Like the developer couldn't make up their mind.

Plus, I have a personal dislike of the developer after a few interactions with them on Discord. They were incredibly condescending, and that obviously put a bad taste in my mouth for anything made by them. However, this was after I had already played the game.

I see, and understand your points. The reason I enjoyed King's Field/Shadow Tower/Souls was the exploration aspect, which Lunacid does really well.

I agree with the anime characters, for sure. It was very jarring to run into the girl the first time. I couldn't help but feel like I was playing a different game all of the sudden!

What did the developer say to dislike them, again, if you don't mind me asking?
