About This Game


LA-MULANA is an “Archaeological Ruin Exploration Action Game,” bringing the classic appeal of adventure with the punishing difficulty of retro-inspired gaming. Search inside ancient ruins, seeking out the “Secret Treasure of Life” – which sleeps in the sprawling ruins of “LA-MULANA” and is said to be the beginning of all civilization. Unfortunately, priceless artifacts very rarely give themselves up easily.

Apart from the plethora of traps lying in wait, 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. The guardians of LA-MULANA do not take their job lightly.

LA-MULANA on Steam is the PC port version of the acclaimed remake for WiiWare. One of the first NIGORO games, LA-MULANA was originally created back in the creators’ “amateur” days and has been renown worldwide.
This game was created based on “that old-time feeling.” The creators wished to play the sort of games that enthralled them back in the day, only with more volume. The operability and difficulty level are certainly not “new school”. However, this game is highly recommended to gamers seeking out that feeling of total immersion that allows you to go full-on head-to-head with a game not found in somewhat lighter terms.

Coming up on it's ninth birthday, LA-MULANA continues to captivate, frustrate and annihilate new and old players alike. Whether it's your first time falling into the ruins or your 900th of getting decimated by Mushussu, we thank you for donning your explorer's hat, hoisting the whip and diving into our game.

Good luck. You're going to need it.

O jogo é um dos metroidvanias mais mazoquistas se jogar sem nenhuma ajuda da wiki, acho q eu levaria o dobro, senão mais pra zerar e perderia minha sanidade. Demorei 53h Com wiki ainda sim é um jogo divertido, difícil e confuso para um caralho, demora pra acostuma com os controles, mas depois fica d boas. Mesmo com o guia é difícil entender todos os puzzles e espere ficar travado. Jogo muito bem feito e desafiador, n é pra todo mundo. 9/10

This game is like CBT. Pretty fun at first but I'm pretty sore after 20 hours.

I can't in good conscience recommend this game to anyone. It gleefully disrespects the player and their time, and it controls like absolute butt. Yet somehow--and perhaps this is the Stockholm Syndrome talking--I found it tremendously enjoyable. "First playthrough, be sure to not use a guide. You're only robbing yourself of the *real* experience and satisfaction of playing La-Mulana." Um, sure, yeah, I didn't do that; I used *multiple* guides liberally, and frankly, after a certain point, they weren't even all that helpful. The game is simply that obtuse, and I have no regrets about my decision. Overcoming the relentless BS this game flung at me was its own reward, assistance notwithstanding. In conclusion, this is one of the worst games I've ever played. Also one of the best. One of the best-worst... like a harrowing experience you lived through that genuinely traumatized you at the time, but in retrospect makes you giggle. Don't get this game... unless there's something wrong wit...

Do you like obtuse puzzles, occasionally losing progress from deathtraps, and so much backtracking? If so, this is the game for you.

have not finished it and probably never will - intriguing setting, cool graphics and style - terrible checkpoint system - dogshit character controls - bullshit puzzles and bosses - literally unplayable for casuals (me)
