Lunia is a genuinely unique MMORPG. There are no other online games that play remotely the same way as Lunia, making it a very attractive game for MMORPG fans. The game has gorgeous 2-D visuals and great sound effects. Lunia very closely resembles classical arcade beat 'em ups with stages like Gauntlet Legends and X-Men.

There are 10 stages per 'episode, or world, and each stage has its own unique quest and a boss fight at the end of it. If you've played the Global Lunia version and want to try the North American one (this one), you'll notice a few changes. The game now has four classes, rather than three. The four playable classes are: Knight, Healer, Wizard, and Thief. Allm, the developer, plans to release three more classes by the end of 2009, ensuring that the game continues to stay updated with new content.

At the beginning and end of each level, you're presented with a small cut scene offering additional tidbits about the game's story, which makes each level more enjoyable. This is a nice feature as most MMORPGs don't even bother with a story. The biggest drawback to Lunia is the fact that you can't customize your character one bit, making everyone look like carbon copies of each other.

Aside from the lack of customization, the game has a few small flaws such as: poor grammar during cut scenes, a few disconnection bugs, and buggy item text. When you finish the game's cooperative story mode the game isn't over. You can continue to PvP and collect the best possible items in the game. Lunia is truly a unique experience and definitely worth trying for every MMORPG fan.
