Lunark is another indie project that should contain a lot of Flashback atmosphere inside

No direct footage... already half into the year it is said to be released... not holding my breath for it

What I can see isn't very inspired either. Looks a bit more like a pseudo 3D remake than a new game.

This actually doesn't look too bad, compared to all the other recent rehashes.

I'm waiting for reviews. Even if it is very good that price tag might put it on the 'only if discounted' pile.

Looks fine to me, a nice mix between 2D and 3D action. The fact that it isn't yet another FPS game is refreshing in itself.

I seen a footage in steam and its mixed approach is interesting; definitely not innovative but interesting

Here's my first 30mins of play with the game, I'd rather not say what I think about it and leave it up to you...

It definitely has the tone of the original from the first 12 minutes of your gameplay.
