Lunar Knights is a wonderful game for the DS. It is a great example of portable gaming done right. The gameplay is frequently broken into 15-30 minute chunks and you are able to save your game whenever you so choose. Good: The leveling up/powering up weapons/dungeon crawling type of game is fairly hard to get right in my opinion-- I have played more than enough terrible games in this vein. However, Lunar Knights does just about everything right. The characters are well done, the story is engaging, and the anime cut scenes are a real treat.
Bad: The music gets repetitive even though it is catchy. Some people may not enjoy the camera, as it is 2.5D and has a rather odd angle. It's similar to an isometric view in a game like StarCraft or WarCraft, but it's tilted further upwards. I myself did not find this terribly enjoyable. I also found the graphics to be only okay- they really did not live up to the quality of the rest of the game.
Verdict: Buy. You can definitely overlook the flaws in this game and enjoy its fine merits. It is quite long, and I am all set to pop it in and give it a second playthrough.
