La-Mulana Returns to PC on July 13

That’s awesome! I was actually wondering what happened to this game’s remake or if it was ever going to come over seas.

the video is a bit confusing..

Hahah, they’re keeping Helltemple in the final release. Good on them =)

It’s very difficult and frequently opaque (though the new version may include more hints and general user-friendliness!); there are no roguelike elements; there are stories but indirect and small ones, not a large world-spanning plot; I’m pretty sure there’s an ending but I’ve never seen it.

I love it.

I’ll also add that it does feel like there’s no ending, but only because it’s an enormous game. Most new players take 20+ hours to complete it on their first playthrough.

So freakin’ excited. I think this will be a day-one purchase even if I am too busy to actually play it next week.

Anybody who claims there’s no story either hasn’t gotten far enough in the game or thinks that a story has to take the form of a scripted narrative. La-Mulana’s one of the go-to examples of great environmental storytelling, and the world is a joy to discover.
Regarding the difficulty, the platforming is difficult at the beginning, but as you get more life crystals to increase the amount of health you have, it becomes much easier to survive, and the difficulty comes instead from the puzzles (which range from easy to mind-numingly difficult). The boss fights can also be pretty difficult if you don’t have a solid strategy.
There is an end, but by the time you get there you probably won’t want it to end (which is why you tackle Hell Temple afterwards =P).

Would it be worth it for me to play the original or should I just wait for this version and play that without spoiling anything? Does this version add any content that is important to enjoying it?

Is there anything more to being independent but repetitive “retro”-games spiced with stuff we’ve learned from more modern genres?
Yes? Phew!

working on it. tigsource is known for being slow

If anyone thinks this game is better than fez thumb this up!

Ah, the follies of self-marketing. :)

Perhaps he’s just sick of you talking about fez constantly, for a game you don’t like you cant seem to shut up about it.

That’s really insightful, bro. You should become a critic.

Why is he so sick about me mentioning FEZ like two times ever? Doesn’t that mean he should mind his own business, instead of worrying so much about what I or other people have to say? Sounds like a mental case to me.

Also, who said I don’t like FEZ? Why do you put words in my mouth? You don’t seem too right in the head either (if you’re in fact a different person, not the same guy using a different name). Do me a favor and get a life, please.

Well id like to comment that i am infact a different person, and that you should think long and hard about what qualifies someone as being mentally ill before throwing it around like you do. That’s all i have to say about that.

leap away froggy

This is great. Now can I get the Spelunky redux for PC?

Is anybody else puzzled by the fact that the “original” game seem to require fluent Japanese in order to be enjoyed, and the remake offers no demo whatsoever?

How am I supposed to divine if I will like the game at all, before buying it?

Based on comments by enthusiasts, I suspect it to be excruciatingly difficult and exceedingly frustrating to play. Lacking any other info, I’ll stick to that and I’ll pass on this one (I tend to prefer games which don’t feel like unpaid second jobs). To bad, because it looked interesting.
