Description
My name is Lemeza Kosugi and when I am not busy teaching archeology, I seek out undiscovered ruins and their secrets. Not too long ago, a note arrived from my long-lost father, exclaiming “Eventually, I found it. I’ve won!”. Seems like the old man finally did it: he found La-Mulana, the ancient temple that holds the ancient knowledge hidden from mankind for all these years. With my trusty laptop and my whip, I have set out to plumb the depths of this ancient temple to see what treasures I can find...

La-Mulana is an “Archaeological Ruin Exploration Action Game” in the vein of classic MSX platformers. As a daring archaeologist you venture inside the ancient ruins of the Mayan city La-Mulana, seeking out the Secret Treasure of Life. Apart from the plethora of traps lying in wait to stop intruders, there are also monsters on the prowl, protecting the ruins. Head for the innermost depths of the ruins while solving a variety of mysteries, fending off monsters, and disarming traps. Forging ahead will be no simple task – the further into the depths you reach, the more difficult the mysteries become. Will you fall prey to treacherous traps and gruesome guardians or unravel the secrets of La-Mulana?
  • A free roaming platformer adventure with over 18 secret-filled unique areas to explore.
  • Jam-packed with a slew of weapons, sub-weapons, quest items, and riddles.
  • Take on the Hell Temple Time Attack for the ultimate challenge!

Retro?

Great game. Definitely worth playing (even for those 30+ hours). I am surprised that original game has been released in 2005 (!?) . Only one thing that sometimes is annoying in gameplay that on my not so modern laptop (core2duo 2.6, 4 GB RAM, Intel graphic card) game sometimes slow down soooo much. But when game is as good as this one i can take it.... :)

Exploration!

This is why indie games are more fun than the big budget ones. This is a great Metroidvania, filled with exploration. I must say that it excelled far beyond my expectations. If you like exploration games like Super Metroid and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, buy this. You won't be disappointed. John 3:36 "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."

Rick dangerous with bad controls

Don't buy this game, you WILL be disappointed. I thought it was a great fun old school platformer with new ideas. It's not, the controls are horrible (no air control ? WTF, i mean...really ? We're not in 1980 anymore you know). There have been some really great indie platformers recently like super meat boy, and even old heroes returning like rayman. Those games were great. This one isn't. If you're a masochist and like painfully hard games that makes no sense, has very bad controls (why all the keys when you could do all that with only 2 ?), no air control, poor music (very short loops), well feel free to try it. But i'd advise trying a demo first, which i didn't do and regret now. I bought it when it was 5$ and i'm really disappointed. I wish i didn't buy it. It's not worth 5$.
