Lunacid - Tears of the Moon

Control wise, the game plays fine with a controller via Steam Input, though it does drop inputs somewhat frequently (again, seems to be worse at higher resolutions and/or framerates/clock speeds?).

Despite the limited engine and assets this did answer a lot of my questions about Lunacid's plot and world, and really helped make a lot of Lunacid's latter half make much more sense.

There's also been a good amount of effort put into making this look and feel uniquely Lunacid, lots of textures have a similar green/purple pseudo-stereoscopic look to Lunacid, and the general colour palette feels distinctly like its own thing, and not too much like King's Field, despite being made in its level editor.

The game itself is pretty easy for a SoM game, which feels intentional, like Lunacid itself it's going for the vibes of King's FIeld and Shadow Tower not the obtuse and occasionally tedious difficulty.

The dungeons are moody and familiar (some VERY familiar...), the music suitable and enjoyable but definitely also seeming like game music from a bygone era and not the banger that the original OST is.

Official layout works well for DS4 and DualSense, if you're using an XBox controller or Steam Deck, there should be a decent community layout (though it may tell you to rebind some controls via the ini or in game to help with the dropped inputs issue).
