Lunar Knights is an action game where you play as two charectors who battle vampires. The two charectors vary dramatically where one uses close combat (swords) while the other uses distance weapons (guns). And as you can switch between these two charectors on the fly, you will probably favor the use of the sword as it costs no energy to use. Energy gathering is what makes this game so unique. The upper screen displays the time of day along with other weather conditions. The two charectors will rely on both the sun and moon's energy, so if you are outside or see an area where light is shining through a window, depending on your charector, you may harness the energy of the light. The energy you gather may then be used to power your weapon with various elements that you will collect through the game. Each element offers strengths and weaknesses against certain enemies. After defeating enough enemies, your charector can also use a special move which is unique with each element. Unfortunatley, the special move you start with for the bladed charector seems to be the only one you will use. Even more of a drawback is that this certain charectors ability can usually wipe out any of the main bosses. The bosses of the game are each very unique, but sometimes do not offer much of a challenge. After defeating the boss, the game then turns into a space shooter. The space shooter portion of the game takes some getting used to, but once gotten the hang of, it can prove to be quite fun. Charector building and weapon building also play a roll in this game. Charectors build levels by destroying enemies meanwhile weapons build up by collecting certain elements which you then bring to a shop keeper. There are a number of other interesting smaller aspects to this game such as the ability to manipulate weather (which will alter stages), armour which relies on the elements, in game speech, interesting storyline and so forth. Each of these smaller additions only add to the uniqueness of Lunar Knights. So all in all, Lunar Knights is a game that offers such a unique experience in comparison to other DS/GBA action games that it should definitley not be over looked.Read full review
I bought this game because I had enjoyed Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hand for the GBA. This game is the spiritual successor of Boktai, so I thought I'd give it a go. I was not disappointed. The game makes good use of anime style cutscenes and has a unique weather system that plays well into the story. The primary frustration that I encountered was that the game seemed a little too easy at times. Also, it seemed like there was almost no penalty for getting killed, as all it does is charge you 100 or 200 Sol (the game's currency) and set you right back where you were. The boss battles were great, but sometimes too easy. I really did enjoy the space shooter style sequences that immediately followed each of the boss fights. It was a welcome addition. After completing the game there isn't a compelling reason to continue playing. One bonus dungeon is opened up, but that's about it. I found it too repetitive to continue playing long term. Overall, Lunar Knights was an excellent experience with a few flaws that I would reccomend to anyone who wants a great action/adventure game.Read full review
I remember I bought my first boktai game back when the GBA SP was popular,I have a fetish with gothic games,accessories,girls,almost anything gothic. As soon as I read "Vampires" I thought of Goths so I bought it. Years after,I saw Lunar Knights,and read it's the Bokati sequel so I bought it. I really loved the game,but the only exception was that some things had nothing to do with vampires (using technology to purify vampires,not the original Piledriver and the whole Taiyoooooh thingy,the vampires themselves using technology,like Baron Stoker). The game was good,I loved the music since it had that heavy rock in it,loved the story,loved everything and I'd surely buy the next one if a next one comes out. Just add a bit more originality in it(Don't use technology that much).
Lunar knights is a good game for those of us who like their games simplistic to play with some hints of strategy. Its an action RPG thats pretty heavy on action (read: all action) but any shortcomings you have can be made up for by the old RPG standby of grinding to a point of godliness. You've got your RPG stats and elemental Strength/Weakness going on, but the combat has some real weight to it with differing techniques necessary for each weapon. Overall a good game if you're looking for an action game that isn't blisteringly fast and rewards careful, well thought out technique.
This game is by far my favorite DS title to date. Everything from gameplay to the cut scenes is awesome. There is a strong storyline and the replayability is very high. Once you beat the game, on top of getting prizes on the Lunar Knights website (Wallpapers and such), you also get to start the game over again with all the same weapons, items, accessories, and levels that you beat the game with! Also, a secret level opens up, as well as a boss fighting sim. The games before this (Boktai) had solar sensors on the cartridge so that you can increase the attackpower of the hero depending on how light or dark it was. For the Lunar Knights, you can insert that cartridge into the GBA slot and use that to increase the light gauge or dark gauge! That amount of integration just left me in awe. The only thing that is missing is a GBA cartridge with a mini weather station so that it could detect the temperature, humidity, and wind speed. Those three things have huge bearing on the game. They determine how effective you armor is, and they allow you to go to secret areas. Blowing into the mic causes your character to whistle, which causes monsters to come to where you whistled, or, if your elemental hero is glowing, they will give you an increase in a stat. Whistling is useful for pulling monsters and for getting them to stand on buttons so that you can go in doors and over spike traps. This game is the most solid game I have ever played for any portable gaming system.Read full review
