You aren’t alone at that…

Ironically the last spell I got was Icarus Flight

I really like the character design in Lunacid to be honest. It gives the game a unique vibe, lets it be something unique instead of being yet another uninspired parody on From Software games.

I stopped leveling when I reached 100 since I was already so OP I didn’t see a reason to continue (also a pretty number).

It still took me awhile to get all the endings on the save file but at that point I was just running around destroying everything with my seemingly neverending mana pool.

Damn, I’m surprised to see a Lunacid post on Lemmy

I didn’t see any posts about this game so decided to make the first step myself!

Certain spells can be pretty OP throughout the game if you focus on your magic skills.

On my first playthrough I had a magic-focused character, and yeah, magic is extremely strong in this game! That’s why on my vampire run I decided to ban any attacking spells, to focus more on weapons.

My main problem with vampires was taking damage when using holy water - it’s really important in some areas like the prison (fucking dogs…), and not being able to just use it whenever I want was… annoying.

I don’t regret playing as a melee vampire, I learned to use blocking effectively (I basically never used it on my first playthrough) and the quirks were neat even if not really that impactful gameplay-wise.

I’m kinda working on collecting all the items so I can get the last ending.

Good luck with it!

Avoiding the skull isn’t much of a problem fortunately but sometimes it just sits there three or four reloadings and this is a bit irritating!

The game expects you to figure stuff out on your own so I recommend to take it slow and look closely at what data is available to you. (Or just finding a guide that explains elemental damage and items if you don’t wanna do this)

The game’s system is simpler than it seems and it’s very rewarding to finally learn and master it.

That’s really cool ^^

The game starts out kinda tough so no surprise you bounced off. I took my time to learn how elemental resistances work and write down what resistances different enemies have and the game clicked. It was very satisfying to finally be able to destroy piranhas after they harassed my young adventurers for so long~
