The game can be played in campaign mode, which includes mission specific objectives and storyline, as well as a 'challenge' mode, which involves the player progressing through a series of fourteen maps with the goal of clearing them of all hostile creatures. The combat control is original as well, since there are only three context-sensitive action buttons, which puts emphasis on fast-paced action rather than complicated button combos: one attack button, a jump button, and a more general crouch-reverse button. With no HUD, the player must rely on visual cues to determine Turner's health most notably the character's posture and the darkness and blurred vision. The player can also perform disarms, reversals, and counter-reversals. The fighting system is based largely around close combat, and in many cases incorporates knives, swords, and bo staves.

Hand-to-hand combat comprises most of Lugaru's gameplay, although the game rewards stealthy approaches. Turner feels he is not up to governing, and decides he will spend the rest of his life wandering and trying to find a purpose again. After this he returns to the other rabbits, where he is offered the chance to be king. Turner refuses to listen, and manages to successfully overpower Ash and defeat him. He warns that if Turner defeats him it would mean ruin for the rabbits as they would overpopulate and starve without the wolves enforcing the natural order. Bolstered by his recent victories, he finally reaches Ash, the alpha wolf. Hickory sets a trap to try and stop Turner before he reaches him, but Turner is able to defeat the three wolf assassins and is then able to kill the rabbit king himself. Using a wide variety of combat techniques, Turner then battles wolves and hostile rabbits across grassland, snow, and desert landscapes. He then vows to the other rabbits that he will meet with the Alpha wolf, and if need be, kill him. To secure the deal, he sent Jack, one of his loyal servants, to trick Turner into killing the rabbit raiders as they would be the only real resistance that the wolves would have to their control.Īfter learning the terrible truth, Turner confronts the rabbit king and takes power in a bloodless coup. The rabbit king Hickory has agreed to this takeover, providing that the wolves do not harm him. That way they can conserve their food supply. Not wanting to make the same mistakes as before, they plan to enslave the rabbit kingdom rather than randomly attacking any that they meet as they usually do. The wolves from a nearby island killed all of the rabbits who lived there, and have come to Turner's to find more food. However, the staff can break and can easily be reversed.Īfter his family and friends are murdered by rabbit raiders, Turner embarks on a quest of revenge, only to uncover a deeper plot that threatens the entire Lugaru island. The staff is the strongest of the three, and can easily kill an enemy when it is down. The sword is very powerful and fast, but it is hard to find and incredibly easy to disarm.

The knife can be thrown and a character can carry two of them, but it is the weakest weapon of the three.

ĭavid Rosen has announced that Overgrowth will be the sequel to Lugaru. The word 'Lugaru' is commonly pronounced as loogaroo. The name Lugaru is a phonetic spelling of 'loup-garou', which is French for werewolf. Tim Soret would later improve the game's textures, and Wolfire currently sells this version as Lugaru HD.
