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.
The motion-controlled maverick of a console that had everyone from age 9 to 99 swing a TV remote to bowl and painstakingly recreating themselves as Miis, had its share of hits, but even so, some titles didn’t quite get their due.
Love this game (played on Vita) and i think i got pretty far, but never finished because i refused to look up a guide 😎
Same with me, played for like 50 hours, found a puzzle I just couldn't crack and decided to let it go. Great game
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.
Guide Fall's La-Mulana 1 and 2 review will take a deep dive into the Ruins to see if it's worth picking up - who knew being an archeologist could be fun!
