Lunar Knights is a gothic science-fiction RPG developed by Kojima Productions for the Nintendo DS, released in 2006. Players control two warriors engaged in a mission to liberate a world that has fallen under the dominion of a vampiric legion. Combat and progression draw on elemental weather-based mechanics, allowing players to conjure phenomena such as tornados, fiery meteor strikes, and snowstorms. The game marked Kojima Productions' first title on the Nintendo DS platform, bringing the studio's distinctive stylistic sensibilities to handheld hardware. The dual-protagonist structure gives the experience a layered quality, with each warrior contributing to the broader struggle against the vampire forces. The blend of gothic atmosphere and science-fiction setting distinguishes it from more conventional fantasy RPGs of its era.
