The creators of the acclaimed Boktai series for the Game Boy Advance
dare you to discover the brand-new gothic sci-fi world of Lunar Knights,
where vampires have created an artificial sky that allows them to roam
the world by day and feed on helpless humans around the clock. But the
fearsome warrior duo Lucian and Aaron are set to cause a storm that will
shake the vampire world to its undead core…
As day passes into night players will be swapping characters constantly to make the most of their powers of energy absorption. Lucian excels at close-up attacks with the moon by his side, while Aaron’s solar gun shines at destroying the undead from a distance.
The duo will get assistance from a Terranial whose powerful elemental attacks can be activated through the touch screen and the microphone, allowing players to conjure up snowstorms and tornadoes and guide meteors down from the sky.
Where Boktai made use of a built-in solar sensor, Lunar Knights introduces an internal weather system on the top screen that changes in real-time: you’ll see a clear day turning into a rainy night, which will affect the action on the bottom screen. Rain creates puddles on the streets below while thunderstorms help highlight hidden items. Learning to use the weather to your warriors’ advantage will be key to turning the vampire leaders to dust.
Once a leader of the undead is defeated he’ll be placed in a Casket Rocket, turning the game into an intense touch screen shooter. As they navigate the 3D space, players employ a hefty arsenal to clear their path of enemies and transport the vampire’s corpse far enough for it to be completely destroyed. But how far will the vampires let you go?
