Lunar the Silver Star (Sega CD)
Magazine Text:
Those of you who are searching for a good RPG for the Sega CD, look no further. Lunar will be coming to the States compliments of Working Designs. The quest is an epic one, spanning many countries. Hideous monsters talk the realm, killing countless people. It is up to you to get together a party of warriors to free the land from the ravaging evil.
Lunar is an above average RPG. And seeing how few RPGs there are, this one fits in nicely. The world is very similar to that of Phantasy Star, where medieval weapons are combined with futuristic items. Lunar pushes the Sega CD to the limits with its great expanse of land to explore. I’m ready, are you?
Commentary:
It’s cool to see the first instance of Lunar that I could find in the iconic EGM. This is coming out about 15 months after the release in Japan and about 3 months before its US release. It’s odd to see how generic they make it sound. I can’t recall that many futuristic items and it seems to be they got a screenshot of the Grindery and made some assumptions based on the Phantasy Star comparison. I’d still be excited!
