You aren’t alone at that…

Ironically the last spell I got was Icarus Flight

I really like the character design in Lunacid to be honest. It gives the game a unique vibe, lets it be something unique instead of being yet another uninspired parody on From Software games.

I stopped leveling when I reached 100 since I was already so OP I didn’t see a reason to continue (also a pretty number).

It still took me awhile to get all the endings on the save file but at that point I was just running around destroying everything with my seemingly neverending mana pool.

Damn, I’m surprised to see a Lunacid post on Lemmy

I didn’t see any posts about this game so decided to make the first step myself!

Certain spells can be pretty OP throughout the game if you focus on your magic skills.

On my first playthrough I had a magic-focused character, and yeah, magic is extremely strong in this game! That’s why on my vampire run I decided to ban any attacking spells, to focus more on weapons.

My main problem with vampires was taking damage when using holy water - it’s really important in some areas like the prison (fucking dogs…), and not being able to just use it whenever I want was… annoying.

I don’t regret playing as a melee vampire, I learned to use blocking effectively (I basically never used it on my first playthrough) and the quirks were neat even if not really that impactful gameplay-wise.

I’m kinda working on collecting all the items so I can get the last ending.

Good luck with it!

Avoiding the skull isn’t much of a problem fortunately but sometimes it just sits there three or four reloadings and this is a bit irritating!

Ornstein and Smough from Dark Souls. The series have plenty of difficult boss fights but this one is earlier than most and the biggest difficulty spike in the entire game IMHO.

Outside of the Souls games, there’s Lil’ Hunter from Nuclear Throne. I tried to beat this little trashcan SO many times and succeeded only once. It’s insane.

Also shout-out to Hush from the Binding of Isaac for almost giving me a heart attack when I was fighting it as the tainted lost. Never again.

I hope more people with niche interests will come to Lemmy - this is the only use case for this kind of social media for me, and Lemmy’s a bit lacking in this regard.

But yeah, I’m not looking forward to those redditors who assume everyone’s a cis man and stuff :\

The game expects you to figure stuff out on your own so I recommend to take it slow and look closely at what data is available to you. (Or just finding a guide that explains elemental damage and items if you don’t wanna do this)

The game’s system is simpler than it seems and it’s very rewarding to finally learn and master it.

Yeah, the collection is incredible! I at first thought that the games will be some shallow micro games but…

These are full games in their own right, with great music and visuals, with fun (and sometimes innovative!) gameplay to top that off.

This project is insane in the most positive meaning of the word.

Me and Lunacid. Immediately started a new playthrough after 100%-ing it.
