Play OverviewPlay Overview

Lunark (2023) is a platform game with simple pixelated graphics that tell a cinematic story. It's similar to games like Flashback that were popular in the 80s and 90s. You run, jump, hang, climb, roll, and shoot your way through mysterious alien ruins, a flying penitentiary, a high-tech megalopolis, and a majestic forest.

The game is set on the Moon after Earth becomes inhospitable. Humanity used the Moon to escape and find another habitable planet. Unfortunately, the planet was already inhabited. Centuries later you play as Leo, an orphan rejected for being different and retrace his origins in the midst of a rebellion against the totalitarian regime you find yourself in.

You explore the planet, meet characters and solve problems to open doors and deal with enemies. Although it looks like an old-fashioned game the controls are responsive and intuitive and the progression system is generous. Lunark is an adventure focused on delivering a thrilling narrative with explosive moments.

Our examiner, Andy Robertson, first checked Lunark 3 years ago. It was re-examined by Jo Robertson and updated 7 months ago.

Rated PEGI 7 for mild violence that lacks any apparent harm or injury to human-like and fantasy characters. This game features mild and non-realistic violence. When smaller spiders are shot several times, they collapse to the ground with a small amount of green blood visible. When larger spiders are shot, green blood effects appear until they are defeated, after which they fall to the ground. If the player’s character is attacked, it shimmers and loses a life. When all lives are lost, the level restarts.
