The single player roguelite card game is scheduled to release in 2027 for PC (<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/4555610\/LUNAR_PULSE\/\">St<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/4555610\/LUNAR_PULSE\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">e<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/4555610\/LUNAR_PULSE\/\">am<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LUNAR PULSE | 1st Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0IAuensVxS0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Luna Pulse is based around ultra-short, life-or-death card battles between witches. Set in a dark, moonlit world that \u201cbelongs nowhere,\u201d the story of the game follows protagonist Lilith of Heresy who accidentally ends up becoming the unlucky thirteenth participant of a mysterious, deadly ritual. There, she is forced to challenge the twelve other witches and come out of the ritual alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260428-659530002.jpg\" alt=\"Lunar Pulse\" class=\"wp-image-65957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260428-659530002.jpg 960w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260428-659530002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260428-659530002-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gameplay-wise, the \u201cwitch ritual\u201d unfolds as a series of 1-on-1 high-speed duels decided in about 60 seconds. The player uses a 15-card deck and a 5-card hand to take on the opposing witches. With both the player\u2019s and the witches\u2019 hands fully visible, both parties have to simultaneously play one card each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the detailed rules of the card game haven\u2019t been unveiled yet, some of the currently known cards include Strike, Dodge, Parry and Guard (if that reminds you of a soulslike, it\u2019s intentional, as the developers aim for a \u201csouslike tension experienced through card battles\u201d). The player will have to predict the opponent\u2019s move from the visible hand and choose the best card that could counter it in a Rock-Paper-Scissors style showdown (as shown in the trailer, Parry prevails over Strike, while choosing Strike against Strike result in a draw). Furthermore, with each unsuccessful run, you\u2019ll be able to enhance and customize your deck according to your preferred playstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260428-659530001.jpg\" alt=\"Lunar Pulse \" class=\"wp-image-65956\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260428-659530001.jpg 960w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260428-659530001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260428-659530001-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The game features multiple branching endings, and what ending you get will depend entirely on the choices you make. According to the game\u2019s Steam store page, it seems like players will have to explore all of the different endings in order to piece together the story of Lunar Pulse and discover the mystery behind Lilith of Heresy and the true nature of the witches\u2019 deadly rite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lunar Pulse is set to release in 2027 for PC (<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/4555610\/LUNAR_PULSE\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lunar Pulse, a new title developed by Yosuke Shiokawa&#8217;s studio 213\u2109 is set to release in 2027 for PC (Steam).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":65955,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[62,3],"tags":[39,17],"class_list":["post-65953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie-games","category-news","tag-indie-games","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
