Battle tripods on the planet Lana

WITH “Planet Lana” I met at last year’s February Stemovsky Festival Democ. I liked the demo and the game went to the desire list, wait for time to pass it. Time has appeared, the game has passed (good, it is short) and you can say a few words about it.

In principle, probably, I can add little to what I wrote about the game, describing her demo version. I even, again mistakenly accepted the main character (that very Lana) for the boy. In the picture, its gender is problematic to determine.

According to the plot, on the planet, where people are raising carelessly some robots, begin to grab everyone in a row and drag them to their ship, including the girlfriend of the main character Ilo (this is a friend, and not a friend? but I’m not sure anymore). In general, the “war of the worlds” occurs naturally, unless here are not quite “tripods”, but the essence of the same.

Well, Lana goes in pursuit of the kidnappers of her friend, with the goal of freeing her at all costs. Very soon she meets a nice cat -shaped animal who appeared in the trailers of the game and who will accompany and help the main character throughout the game in every way.

This couple, under the sensitive control of the player, will have to overcome a lot of obstacles, in the form of not very complex puzzles, as well as slip by a heap of robots and not the most friendly representatives of the local fauna.

The adventures of our heroes occur against https://yummywinscasino.co.uk/ the background of a bastard, as if manually drawn by a picture, which are accompanied by very pleasant music and voice acting characters.

Regarding gameplay, then it is relatively simple and intuitively understandable here. Puzzles are predominantly simple. Only in one place I got stuck for a while, not immediately realizing what I need to do. And even in a couple of places, he first tried to act incorrectly.

Passing the game, you can find ten secrets in it, which, if you find all of them, will open some elements of the background of the Lana world. I managed to find only a few of them, but in principle, to understand what is happening, this is not particularly required. In any case, not even finding these secrets, I came to the right conclusions that I will not say anything about, because spoilers.

Following the results of the passage, Planet of Lana I left a very positive impression of myself. The only disadvantage can be called the simplicity of local puzzles, but this is more than compensated by the atmosphere of the game and the integrity of the narrative. Such (in terms of atmosphere) Could be Limbo, If, after about a quarter from the beginning, she did not slide in the series of these same puzzles.

That’s all. Thank you for your attention.

The best comments

The game visually is insanely good. The environment, characters, this little fluffy lump, constantly following the heroine, all this seemed to come out of the vast drawn worlds of Hayao Miyazaki. We literally fell in love with this game from the first frames. She swallowed us completely.

However, the gameplay did not cause such delight. In terms, there are quite acceptable puzzles, platforming there, jumping, all things. There is a couple of undoubted moments. The same pursuit on the robot or a collision with a huge boss. Yes, only all these cool moments, first of all, are cool because of the visual, due to the production. Gameplayo game is just a good, sensible action. Without any frills that began to repeat the tasks with times. Explanatory. But because of a colorful juicy appearance, it seems dull.

And no, Planet of Lana in no way is a bad game. We with all our purple hearts, like a respected author, in principle, recommend it to pass. However, we ask you to remember that in this case, a real treasure lurks in the most prominent place.))

There is such. I’m even a couple of times, I tried to read and go through an “unplanned” way, purely because he first occurred to me. But no, it doesn’t work :)

And I really liked the discreteness in Gameplay, or something. That is, there is little freedom of action, jumping can be performed from clearly defined positions, there are no ways to “read”, to climb somewhere in the wrong place. Sometimes this is not enough in such games, where there is too much space for maneuver

I agree almost completely. Unless, the action I would not call the game.

Let the name present in the non -Japanese original, but the heroine Lana. Exactly, Miyazaki, along with Takahata, took part in the creation of a chic anime Conan – a boy from the future. And there, in addition to the protagonist of Conan, there is the main character Lana.
