Planet of Lana varies-with-devices

An action-adventure game about protecting the world

Planet of Lana is an action-adventure game that features puzzle elements. The player takes control of Lana, a young girl who is joined by her small creature companion as she traverses a world in turmoil. The player must rely on stealth and quick reflexes to navigate dangerous situations.

Visually, the game features a blend between hand-drawn levels and pixel-art characters, similar to Another World. The levels are very dynamic, featuring things like moving trees and dust clouds, all of which combine to give the world a living feel.

A planet in peril

Planet of Lana is a puzzle platformer game at its core. It is set on an alien world, though the people in the alien world look like regular human beings. The story of the game is that the world has enjoyed harmony between the environment, people, and creatures until now. Lana is on a journey to protect her way of life.

Steal and puzzles

The game encourages the player to deal with obstacles and dangerous situations using stealth and by solving puzzles, which means there is not much combat in the game. That being said, the gameplay is still tense at times. The player must deal with hostile entities — including some of the native creatures — on her way through the many terrains of the planet.

A visually appealing game with a lot of content

Players who enjoy combat may find this game lacking, but those who enjoy stealth gameplay and solving puzzles should enjoy Planet of Lana. Additionally, the detailed story and variety of environments and creatures to encounter should provide plenty of content for players to experience. However, the game features a linear story, so replayability may be limited.
