New Sci-Fi RPG Descent of Lunaris Announced
The year is 2070. A mining operation deep within the Moon discovers a signal that will change human history. However, this discovery triggers an unknown disaster. All machinery goes haywire, the base is drenched in blood, and only a few elite agents sent to investigate remain. Descent of Lunaris offers a next-generation sci-fi RPG experience set amidst this eerie atmosphere.
Descent of Lunaris Brings a Modern Twist to Classic Dungeon RPGs
Unison Games describes the game as “a love letter to Wizardry, Ultima, and Shin Megami Tensei.” Descent of Lunaris transports players to a world filled with labyrinthine structures hidden beneath the lunar surface. Each level evolves both visually and thematically: a nightmarish journey from metallic corridors to mind-bending, surreal landscapes.
The game is based on a classic JRPG-style turn-based combat system. However, the deeper you delve, the more the rules change. The battlefield expands, tactical moves become more prominent, and players must strategize based on location, range, and environmental influences. Team composition, along with resource management, becomes key to survival during long-running missions.
The character system is designed with exceptional flexibility. Each agent can be tailored to the player’s style. Class transitions, hybrid skill combinations, and customizable stats create a unique team. The game’s depth is evident not only in the combat but also in its narrative—at each level, players confront disturbing truths about the nature of humanity.
Visually, Descent of Lunaris begins with cold metal textures and evolves into scenes reminiscent of a hallucinatory vision. The fusion of 2D character designs and 3D environments creates a striking synthesis of the classic and the modern. The sound design complements the experience; industrial noises, unsettling ambiances, and distorted electronic beats draw the player into a dark unknown.
Descent of Lunaris, which hasn’t yet been released, will be released on Steam for PC. Unison Games aims to redefine the dungeon RPG genre with a project that’s both nostalgic and contemporary. It looks like Nightmare Under the Moon will breathe new life into the role-playing genre.
