Lunaraxia: Magpie Sings of the World’s End is a Soulslike Roguelike inspired by classic arcade games such as Punch-Out!! and Crossed-Swords with narrative and gameplay loop of Hades. In this game, you will play as one of the five Ragpickers tasked with retrieving valuable Old World Relics to save your dying underground community.
Lunaraxia delivers modern Soulslike combat experience with arcade classics' simplicity, freeing you of any infamous detractors.*
Lunaraxia boasts hand-drawn, carefully timed sprites that telegraph each attack intuitively, allowing you to parry and dodge attacks you see for the first time!
(* Wonky cameras, confusing hitboxes and frames)
Your typical Lunaraxia run is planned to have you progress through 3 areas and 3 bosses, while showering you with different Weapons, Shields, and Relics to try out different builds each run.
Soulslike mechanics (such as Dodge, Parry, Guard, Charged Heavy Attack, …) function as triggers for your Relics, allowing you to pursue synergies based on whatever mechanics you feel most comfortable with.
For instance, the above showcases a build centered around Parries and Charged Heavies. By combining
A Relic that instantly fully charges your next Charged Heavy upon Parrying,
A Relic that applies a high amount of Stagger to all enemies upon landing Fully-Charged Heavy, and
A Relic that boosts your Critical Hit Chance (up to 4 times) upon successfully Staggering an enemy,
You can effectively wipe out weak enemies with a single Parry!
Lunaraxia boasts a unique cast of 5 lovable characters with intertwining backstories and fates that eventually decide the fate of this ending universe.
A fascinating world has been built, with influences from modern Korea, body horror, creepypastas, and SF novels with multi-layered narratives for you to discover.
Discover why the Old World has collapsed, for what purpose the Flesh Moon rose, and how the post-apocalyptic community of Chorim High School is run by discovering hidden dialogues and documents.
