==Gameplay== Lunicus is primarily an adventure game; in between combat missions you may wander the [[moon base]] you are stationed on and talk to the various [[Non-player character|NPC]]s contained within, with full voice acting and some stilted animation which is characterized on the game packaging as "Talking Cyber Puppets". During the combat missions, the player enters various parts of Earth and cleans out alien infestations either on foot or in a vehicle. The player's weapons are relatively static throughout the game, including [[machine gun]]s, [[Shoulder-launched missile weapon|rocket launchers]], and [[grenade]] attacks. While in the vehicle, the player can opt to duck inside one of the buildings to find additional ammunition and supplies. Nearly all buildings (except for quest-specific ones) are identical. The game's latter missions involve defending the moon base itself from attack by the alien forces, and then attacking the alien mothership. The player's activities are seen from a [[first person (video games)|first person perspective]], but they can only face one of four directions, turning left or right on a tile-based grid similar to games such as [[Scarab of Ra]]. Direct targeting is accomplished with the mouse, while movement is accomplished with either the mouse or the game's [[heads up display]]. The game included several [[pre-rendered]] [[full motion video]] sequences, usually bookending the combat sequences. Several difficulty levels are available, which alter the strength and numbers of the enemy waves. Nearly all graphics in the game are pre-rendered sprites, including walls and city components.
