Lunar is known for having strategic turn-based combat. Unlike many other popular turn-based RPGs of the early ’90s, battles in Lunar take a character’s speed, distance, position, and attack range into consideration when determining their effectiveness in battle. Battles were fully voiced, and in the upcoming remaster can be voiced in a variety of languages, adding a new life to each encounter. Stylized animated sequences also bring the story to life, which were groundbreaking at the original launch and still look great today. Nostalgia is a powerful motivator to play classic games, and Lunar Remastered Collection is aware of this. Players will have the choice to play in a remastered mode that supports widescreen aspect ratios, revamped pixel art and high-definition animated cutscenes, or they can play classic mode to experience Lunar how it was on the original PlayStation. Some quality of life improvements include the option to speed up the battle and new options for battle strategy to streamline combat.
To reiterate, Lunar Remastered Collection will be launching on April 18 for PC, PlayStation 4, Switch and Xbox One. It includes enhanced remasters of Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete.
