Nigoro’s La-Mulana is like Castlevania: Symphony of The Night spliced with Dark Souls. It is long, it is tough, it is involved and it has puzzles that’ll make your brain bleed. It’s a massive singleplayer non-linear platform adventure. It is hardcore, full of traps and unapologetic about killing you over and over again. And that’s just fine.
LA-MULANA is a game that is going to take gamers back to a simpler time. Games in the late 80s and into the early 90s were challenging and relentless. LA-MULANA takes this challenge and combines a few things, mystery, platforming, and something which feels like Lode Runner. While this isnt a game for everyone, for the right fan this is a great game.
