GAME SUMMARY

Lugaru HD
Bundle

Rating: 4.3 (4 votes cast)

Follow Turner, a rebel bunny rabbit with impressive combat skills in his quest to find those responsible for slaughtering his village.  Uncover a far-reaching conspiracy involving the corrupt leaders of the rabbit republic and the wolves of the nearby lands.

Streamlined Combat:  Gone are the days of combo memorization and button mashing.  Lugaru uses a context-sensitive combat system to put all the moves at your finger tips.  It’s up to you to choose the right move at the right time and think your way through the fights. 

Open-Ended Strategy: Each level presents you with an environment and a series of enemies.  How you choose to defeat your adversaries is entirely up to you.  Storm in from the front and fight everyone at once or ambush your foes one at a time with stealth attacks.

Ragdoll Physics:  Not only does striking your enemies do damage, but so does colliding with the environment once you’ve knocked them off their feet. Nothing does more damage than a swift rabbit kick that sends the enemy hurtling into a stone wall.

Environmental Detail:  Factors like wind direction and whether or not you remembered to clean the blood off your knife affect your ability to sneak up on the enemy undetected.

Brutal AI: Enemies in Lugaru prefer unfair fights.  Expect them to shout for back up, attack in groups, and exploit any superior weaponry they can find.

Moddability:  Turning on Lugaru’s debug mode gives you access to the map editor so you can build your own levels, campaigns and mods.  Debug mode also enables crazy cheats that allow players to fly, have infinite health, explode enemies’ heads and set themselves on fire further igniting anyone who comes too close.

New HD Textures:  Lugaru HD has given the original Lugaru a modern makeover while still staying true to the game’s spirit.  Special thanks to Tim Soret for his HD texture pack.

Lugaru HD review

By jtgibson posted 20th Sep 2011

There is a trope called "Nintendo Hard" and I believe this game fits. Hearkening back to the days where yes, the protagonist Ninja Gaiden had only three lives and you used them all in the first level, Lugaru (that's lu-GAH-roo, with stressing on the second syllable, not LOO-ga-roo) features some impressively brutal and fluid melee combat that will leave you bloodied and bruised but dammit it's worth the frustration.

In spite of featuring anthropomorphic bunnies, this is NOT a game for children. Murder, blood, killing people in their sleep, throwing knives through enemies' throats, and allusions to rape are but some of the horrors that face the player of this game and any parents who were intending on a Redwall romp through the magical forests along gumdrop lane should throw their car into reverse and floor it away.

The reason you buy this game is for the combat. In spite of having just seven buttons to press -- your four movement keys, a crouch key, a jump key, and an attack key -- you have a repertoire of several dozen moves at your disposal. Watching any YouTube video for Lugaru (including this version, Lugaru HD, which is the same game with improved higher-resolution textures) will almost certainly sell you.

Tie up that bandana and get back in there. Losing is fun.
