GP: "La-Mulana is a game with an interesting history. Initially started back in 2001, the game finally had an official release in 2006. This was in Japan though, and the game was meant to pay homage to MSX games of the past. In fact, it was billed as a 'secret' game from the MSX library, although it was of course a more recent indie project. From then on, gamers in the west caught wind of the entertaining game and hoped to see it launch officially here.
There was a time when it was announced a remake of La-Mulana would come to WiiWare. Unfortunately, these plans were squashed as were the dreams of fans. That is, until now as Playism Games have published the game in the west as a PC download title. Now that it's finally easily available in English is it worth buying?"
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.
