Reception
The game received positive reviews from critics, who praised its graphics, soundtrack and level design, though they called its combat overly basic. On Metacritic, it received "generally favorable" reviews, with a Metascore of 82 and a User Score of 8.8. James Galizio of RPG Site was largely positive about Lunacid, saying that it stood on its own when compared to its inspirations. He lauded its non-linearity, saying that he was taken in by its gameplay loop. However, he described melee combat as "clunky" and did not like the boss fights, which he described as having "inflated HP" unless hit with powerful spells. Marco Bortoluzzi of The Games Machine gave the game the same score. He called it charmingly old-school but noted that its game balance heavily favored magic builds. Kerry Brunskill of PC Gamer called the game "a perfect example of how to do PS1 nostalgia right", saying that it "truly captured the spirit of [its] chosen era".
