I’m on a roll today with games set on the moon, and the latest addition to the list is Descent of Lunaris. This newly revealed game is a dungeon-crawling, turn-based RPG that draws inspiration from classics like Wizardry and Shin Megami Tensei. It’s a game that caters to the taste of those who appreciate a dark and twisted gaming experience, and I say that with all the love in my heart.

The story of Descent of Lunaris unfolds in the year 2070, where a mysterious signal emanating from the moon disrupts a mining operation, leading to a tragic loss of life. In response, specialized operatives from around the world are called in to investigate the incident, and that’s where you, the player, come into play.

As the player, you have the power to assemble a team of operatives with unique abilities, unlock subclasses, and customize gear. Your choices in the game can turn characters into allies or enemies as you navigate through various dungeons.

While the game offers some freedom to explore, it remains true to its dungeon crawler roots with grid-based gameplay. Strategic decision-making is key, as you allocate skill points and navigate through challenging environments.

Visually, Descent of Lunaris is a treat for the eyes. The game features stunning 2D character art, surreal enemy designs, and futuristic environments that evoke a sense of existential wonder. Fans of the Shin Megami Tensei series will appreciate the game’s unique aesthetic.

Although a release date has not been announced, Descent of Lunaris is expected to launch in 2026. You can add it to your wishlist on Steam to stay updated on its progress.
