I'm two for two on writing about games set on the moon today, but sometimes that's just how it is! This time around it's about a newly revealed game called Descent of Lunaris, a dungeon-crawling, turn-based RPG whose devs say it's inspired by classics like Wizardry and Shin Megami Tensei. And, truth be told, it truly looks like a game for sickos, who I'd like to clarify here I am referring to with every sincere ounce of love in my heart.
