    Yet another waste of time that convinces people to buy it by constantly being on sale on the eShop. This game reminds me of the god awful Crystal Chronicles games that Final Fantasy would make that try to ape the dungeon structure of old Zelda games without any of the wit, instead, relying on awful camera angles and horrible depth perception in place of real puzzles. Everything is a puzzleYet another waste of time that convinces people to buy it by constantly being on sale on the eShop. This game reminds me of the god awful Crystal Chronicles games that Final Fantasy would make that try to ape the dungeon structure of old Zelda games without any of the wit, instead, relying on awful camera angles and horrible depth perception in place of real puzzles. Everything is a puzzle when you don’t give any instruction, I suppose. That must be an easy way to “write” a game: no dialogue, structure, plot, or anything even similar.… Expand

    I bought this game because it was for 1 Dollar in the Eshop and the User Score what kind of ok but surprisingly this game was a big fail for me. I was bored from the beginning and the controls were really frustrating. Not even for 1 Dollar i can recommend this game....

    Lumo is a disappointing example of good intentions leading to bad results. While it pays admirable homage to the old-school, fixed-camera video games, Lumo falls victim to frustrating difficulty spikes and unwieldy movement. A short run-time coupled with a lack of depth perception spoils the fun, ensuring that Lumo is best left for those craving old-school puzzle games. The game isn’t without its charms, but it's hard to recommend it. Those interested in an old-school take on puzzle platforming may be willing to overcome its flaws, but modern gamers will want to reconsider their options before doubling down on Lumo.

    Lumo succeeds as a new entry into a genre that had been lost in time. It delivers an experience that feels retro while including the option for modern gaming conveniences to take a genre that would likely be unapproachable for newcomers to a worthwhile experience for anyone who is willing to try something challenging and new.

    Lumo is a fitting tribute to isometric platform games which honours its retrogaming references with a progressive and well adjusted difficulty curve, as well as plenty of references to classic titles of years gone by. While the fixed camera may cause some issues in specific moments, the overall experience is nothing short of pleasant and enjoyable, whether on short or long gaming sessions.
