![]() Lunark would have fit right in with them, albeit the art style might have taken a bit of explaining due to its chunky-pixel style that’s even more low-resolution than the games of the time. ![]() The cinematic platformer was most popular a couple of decades back, with titles like Flashback, Prince of Persia, Blackthorne and Oddworld all clearly working the same gaming territory. As a cinematic platformer, story is equally important as the action, and Lunark delivers on both in a very ’90s way. It’s the first hint of Albaryne’s mysteries, all of which will be uncovered as Leo runs, fights and leaps his way from one set-piece to the next. The protagonist, Leo, has a rare disorder that causes him to age rapidly, but he’s dealing with it a day at a time and the only real evidence is his rapidly-greying hair. Lunark is a sci-fi adventure across the world of Albaryne, from its jungles and cities to prisons and space. Leo was on an errand to recover an artifact when his flyer was sabotaged to cause a huge explosion on his return to the lab and now every security-bot on the planet is after his head. The beautiful new planet of Albaryne was settled centuries ago and people live in developed cities, but there’s a rebellion heating up against the totalitarian government and it doesn’t take much to get caught up in it. Lush jungles, sprawling oceans, breathable air and compatible animal life all cover its surface and give people a second chance at managing a planet, but there’s always going to be one small problem: wherever humans go, they bring humans with them. Somewhere out in the depths of space is a planet that can be humanity’s new home.
