About the Game

While Lufia II told the pre story to Lufia I, this game does another step back in the history of Lufia. It tells the story of Arek and the other four Sinistrals throwing over the Gods of Light to become the new gods of the world. It also tells about the origin of the Dual Blade, the only weapon that is powerful enough, to overcome the gods.

Acutally the game begins with Erims vision on its possible end. Since one year the Sinistrals of Chaos, Destruction, Death and Terror rule the ones peaceful world.

All hope on returning peace and order rests on the shoulders of eight brave heroes. After a journey full of dangers and fights all over the known world they will meet and finally ride on an air ship to flying Doom Island. Strong-willed to send the dark gods back to hell... but things turn out differently and the true adventure begins!

Even Arek's rule has its origin. Learn how it all began...

    1. IP skills are connected to equipment, same as in Lufia 2.
      There are also a few tech scrolls in the game, which you equip like magic scrolls. These are especially for the characters that cannot cast any magic spells!

  2. i'll just say this here:
    I've played until the pyramid (damn those clowns that i'm stuck!) and i have to say that I really like this game. The puzzles are great and the difficulty is quite good (the MP usage is too much lol.). I really wait until all the dialogues are translated into english cause i'm confused with some of the items lol.

    keep the good work! :D

    1. Thanks! The clowns are a little tricky. I'm not sure if the key to defeating them becomes clear in the translation.
