《Lunar Knights》 is an action RPG developed by KONAMI and supervised by Koji Igarashi, released on the Nintendo DS platform.
"Lunar Knights" is a spiritual successor to KONAMI's Boktai series, retaining the core "sunlight" mechanism of the Boktai series, but due to the different platform, it uses a weather system to replace the real light sensor. The game is set in a world ruled by a vampire noble, and players will play as the swordsman Lucian and the hot-blooded gunner Aaron, who have different combat styles and elemental attributes.
The biggest highlights of the game are the dual-protagonist switching system and the "weather control" gameplay. Different times, weather, and environments affect the enemy's strength and the release of character skills. The DS's dual-screen structure is also used to show ground exploration and space combat: players need to defeat enemies on the ground, and drive a ship in space to destroy the enemy's coffin satellite to complete the purification. The combat rhythm is fast, the BOSS design is challenging, and it is accompanied by rich plot performances. It is a mature and diverse masterpiece.
"Lunar Knights" is a handheld RPG masterpiece that combines action, strategy, and shooting. It not only continues the tactical elements of the Boktai series, but also modernizes the combat system, especially the dual-protagonist system, which brings a variety of operational experiences. In combat, players need to flexibly switch characters according to enemy attributes and use weather changes to adjust tactics, which greatly improves the depth and playability of the game. Combined with the unique dual-screen interaction, touch control, and dynamic weather mechanism of the DS platform, the game is both nostalgic and innovative. Whether you are an action game enthusiast or a player who likes ARPG plot adventures, this game is worth experiencing.
In "Lunar Knights", mastering the combination of Lucian and Aaron is the key to clearing the game. Lucian is biased towards melee combat and dark attribute skills, suitable for use in narrow spaces or when dealing with groups of enemies; Aaron excels in long-range firepower and light attributes, suitable for combat in a wide space or when dealing with highly mobile enemies.
The weather system is another important mechanism that determines the combat advantage. Before entering the battle, you can adjust the weather in the "Weather Console", such as setting sunny weather can strengthen light attribute attacks, and increase Aaron's firepower; while in the night weather, Lucian's dark skill effects are enhanced, suitable for infiltration or assassination missions.
In combat, always pay attention to the enemy's weak elements. For example, when dealing with fire attribute enemies, you should use water attribute skills. At the same time, collecting "Terrenials" elves can give you extra skills and attribute enhancement, which is an indispensable help when fighting BOSS.
In the space combat stage, pay attention to the shooting rhythm and bullet dodging routes. The spaceship can upgrade armor and weapons, and remember to return to the base for reinforcement regularly. In the process of main line advancement, reasonably arrange exploration and training time to avoid insufficient levels affecting the plot advancement.
Summary: Flexible use of attributes, dual-protagonist switching, and weather system will help you easily cope with various combat challenges and experience the wonderful knight legend.
