Description

Inspired by 2D classics from the 1980s and '90s such as Prince of Persia, Flashback, and Out of this World, and given life via a successful Kickstarter campaign, LUNARK is a retro-style sci-fi adventure that is expected to release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, the Xbox family of systems, Mac, and PC early 2023.

Set in a far future where Earth's moon has been transformed into a vessel for humanity's survival and a totalitarian regime reigns supreme, LUNARK puts players in control of Leo, a courier with unique abilities and a mysterious past. As he gets unwittingly caught up in the rebellion against LUNARK's iron fist, Leo must run, jump, hang, climb, roll, and shoot his way out of one life-threatening situation after another as he navigates impressively animated pixel-art environments ranging from a dystopian megalopolis to eerie caves to an alien forest. Using your reflexes and your wits, you must overcome traps, solve puzzles, earn upgrades, and battle enemy droids, and when you aren't fighting for survival, you'll find yourself interacting with a cast of colorful characters who will put your allegiances to the test.
