ABOUT

What is La-Mulana 2?

An archaeological ruin-exploration action adventure developed by Japan's NIGORO and published by PLAYISM. Lumisa Kosugi, daughter of the previous game's protagonist, enters the vast ruins of Eg-Lana to investigate the appearance of monsters. Although it is a Metroidvania-style exploration action game, its core is **puzzle solving**. Decipher clues on tablets throughout the ruins and connect them to mechanisms elsewhere to open routes—a demanding design that effectively requires taking notes. Huge monsters called Guardians await across the fields. The source records 1,078 Steam reviews and a Very Positive rating. Japanese is supported.
