La-Mulana EX

Released2014
La-Mulana EX is an enhanced port of the PC remake for the PlayStation Vita. It adds a bestiary, reworks some item locations, rewords hints, changes puzzles slightly, moves hint tablets closer to the puzzles, and changes some graphics to make environmental clues more noticeable. "A combination of classic 2D platforming, Metroidvania-style adventuring and challenging action gameplay, La-Mulana EX takes you deep into the ancient ruins of La-Mulana on a quest to discover not just valuable treasure, but the secret to life itself! Fight monsters, uncover clues, collect items and weapons to enhance your abilities, spring traps and battle huge bosses as you try to solve the mystery of La-Mulana. But watch out! No-one who's entered the ruins before has come out alive… can you succeed where others have failed?"

About This Game

Lemeza Kosugi teaches archaeology at a university, where he holds the title of assistant rather than professor and tries to get out on expeditions whenever he has vacation time. One day he returns from a lecture to find a battered envelope on his desk. The handwriting is his father's. Inside: a scribbled note of triumph, a poem titled "Legend of Ancient Times," and a single gold coin with writing Lemeza recognizes. His father has apparently found La-Mulana—the legendary ruins believed to be the origin point of all human civilization. The childish excitement of the note tells Lemeza everything he needs to know. He packs his archaeology laptop, his whip, his gun, and heads to the airport. Most of the gear gets confiscated at security. He goes anyway.
