Lunar Knights is the same game as the Boktai games. It is the new DS vampire games from Kojima the producer of Metal Gear Solid series. Lunar Knights is a action adventure game with some arcade space shooter modes. The space shooter part of the game is hard, it comes into play when you kill a boss vampire. I hate the arcade space shooter part of the game i think the game could have done pretty well with out it. The reason is you have to move the spaceship and fire with the stylus at the same time. This game have a lot of animation cut scenes which is very good on the DS. The story follow the journey of two young young vampire hunters. Lucian the vampire hunter who get his power from the moon, he uses a legendary sword an a shield and have a spirit that is half cat half bat that follows him and give Lucian advices. Aran the second vampire hunter who get his power from the sun, he uses a gun that fire plasma like bullets, but when upgrade can fire plasma in all different direction, you also need to charge the gun to get a more powerful shot from the gun. Aran also have a spirit that is half sun and half sunflower. It gives him advices and follows him around. The cool thing about these spirit is when you absorb enough of there elements, for example Lucian element is moon an when his meter fills you can touch the screen to turn any of the two character in to beast like form of there element; that make them unleashed devastating damages onto there opponents. It isn't too hard or too easy to fill up the meter it's just right. Also there is five other element spirit to find that give the heroes to summon all kind of devastating attack such as earthquakes, tornadoes, meteoroid shower and etc. In the beginning of the game you use each hero separately, but after a couple of mission they finally team up and you can play as both of them in missions, you can switch between them during battles. They both got their advantage and disadvantage during battles. All in all this game is one of the best games on the Nintendo DS and I think everyone owe it to themselves to try this game.
