What Makes Lunar Silver Star Story Touch Stand Out
Long ago, a great Dragonmaster named Dyne, with the aid of his faithful companions, defended the goddess Althena from a terrible evil. Time has passed, and those great adventurers have become the stuff of legend, but the world of Lunar is now threatened by a shadowy figure known as the Magic Emperor. In a humble village, far removed from the turmoil, lives a young man named Alex. Idolizing the legendary Dyne, Alex dreams of one day becoming a renowned Dragonmaster and matching the achievements of his lifelong hero. Encouraged by his childhood friend Ramus, Alex sets out with his companion Nall and his adopted sister Luna on a seemingly trivial quest, unaware that it would prove to be the first step in an epic adventure whose outcome will determine the fate of the entire world.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This version has restored the higher res pixel art and effects of the Japanese only Saturn and Win95 releases. It weirdly looks better than the other more recent release.
We need a refund for this game please. It gives us constant headaches.
One of the best RPGs of all time.
Absolutely FANTASTIC port, graphics are better than the recently released Lunar&Lunar2 ports on consoles. Now we just NEED LUNAR 2 done the same way! Apple TV version is awesome with controller support.
This is one of our all time favorite games and we were so looking forward to playing it. But every time we play and get into a store or a battle the touch interface messes up. Way too glitchy.
More lunar port would be appreciated.
This is one of our all time favorite RPGs and this mobile port is so well done, you can feel the love the developers have for the franchise. Years after release theyre STILL updating the game for compatibility with newer systems and OS and even adding new options. If youre considering getting it its well worth it.
Love this game. The port is good. Backbone works and nice QoL settings.
Definitely a solid jrpg. The voice acting is different from the original so the nostalgia doesnt hit as much but still an amazing port! As much as we hated Nalls squeaky voice in the original, we do miss it. Looking forward to Eternal Blue.
This game is really high quality and a wonderful port of the Saturn/PS1 version, as far as we can tell. However, it seems like theres no more option to play it with the phone in a vertical mode, with a virtual controller underneath, which use to be one of the ways to play, and our preferred way of doing so. Unfortunately, this has hampered the experience for us, and we hope it is added back.
This is awesome, really brings us back to the ps one days and plays seamlessly! Only thing is we wish the soundtrack/voices could be changed to the original but still fun! We really hope they do the same for Lunar 2 Eternal Blue and make it available as well. Great job.
Good port only some minor issues Im noticing. Cant delete saves. Not a big deal we guess. No item descriptions with retro UI setting. Its odd. Movie volume is hilariously low if playing on tv. Maybe they can tweak some things. So far we like it though.
We've played the SEGA CD, PS1, PSP version of Lunar Silver Star, and discounting the SEGA CD version which is equal if only cause of how different it is from every remake, this port (Lunar SSST) is the definitive version of the remake canon. Graphics, FMV, and music are taken from the Saturn and Windows 9x version that were never officially released in the US, and are improved over the PS1 release. Working Designs' iconic PS1 dub is sadly not available due to legal reasons, but there is a mod that restores the WD dub to SSST, though it only works on MacOS. The translation is mostly taken from the WD PS1 version, so the charming dialogue and jokes are mostly intact. There's also an option to use the PSP music (good), the PSP dub (bad), and the Japanese voice actors (good). You can select the Japanese Saturn or English PS1 enemy stats, increase or decrease EXP/silver drops, etc… Did we mention it didn't crash at all? Overall, a must buy for a Lunar fan, especially on a Mac. SoMoGa, we hope you release Lunar 2 at some point.
We played this game when it first dropped on the App Store, some 10 or so years ago. We had loved the game ever since we played it in the 90s on our PS, so we were thrilled to get the chance to play it again. On the first port of this, we loved it, flaws and all. SoMoGa did a great job back then no matter what anyone says! But we had no idea they were still supporting this game and had no idea about the huge update they did a year ago until we went to gift this to a friend for his birthday. Im so excited that our friend gets to play this updated version and we cant wait to experience Lunar through his eyes. Thank you, SoMoGa! You made us very happy! (And if you happen to be working on a port of Eternal Blue, Ill be the first to buy it! ).
Great turn base game. We recommend this game 100% to everyone. We cant wait for Lunar Eternal Blue to arrive on mobile gaming.
The opening theme, Nalls voice, Ramus voice and several other things were different from the original ps1 American release, but its heart is still there. Still our favorite.
Had to play with the controls to find out how to get the virtual d-pad to stay on the screen for this to be finally playable.
We had this on sega cd back in the early 90s. It was a classic then and still is. If you like old school turn style RPGs then this is a solid choice. Sorta cheesy with the storytelling but worth a buy.
They should bring out lunar 2 and dragon song on the iPhone.
We are so happy that we can replay this game whenever – on demand. We desperately wish they would port Eternal Blue as well.
This game has only gotten better with time and updates! Had it for a long time but only recently started really playing now that it supports a controller and all kinds of cool graphic customization choices! Always wanted to play this game and hope they do more games.
This was such a fun and nostalgic game to replay. Loved it! Please add Lunar 2: eternal Blue.
Excellent game! The revamped port is fantastic. The game needs an update to stop lowering external audio.
The d pads feel weird without game buttons overlay. The tap to direct always gets stuck when we run into a person. This could be better. It was a struggle just to get to the dragon in the beginning of the game. Its they just gave us a game pad overlay we would have been happy lol.
Love this game <3 The movement controls made us uninstall the game in frustration at first, but after a week or so we decided to give it another chance. Im glad we did! The movement is definitely wonky, but its worth it for the chance to replay this classic. Id love to see the original Sega CD version on here, as well as Eternal Blue! Both would be instant buys for us.
Loved this game growing up and now we can play it wherever! Now work on eternal blue and Id be all set.
The time spent on this game becoming portable seems like it could have been done by one person alone, and if so, amazing work. This is every bit worth the money to play, buy it and enjoy it! It is one of the best simple RPGs of the old days that we wish could become a series like FF , but wrapped up in lunar worlds. Anyways, fantastic job getting this to portable.
We absolutely love this game we played it all the time when it came out on playstation. We just really hope they also bring over: Lunar 2 eternal blue. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE.
Lunar is easily one of our all time favorite games Had the sega CD as well as the PS1 This version is absolutely great but we do miss the music from the other versions. Lunas boat song especially The only two changes Id make is include an option for the old music and an invincibility option (yes we miss our game shark) But other than that this is a very faithful port Ok guys now its time for Lunar 2 Eternal Blue.
The entire remake of the Sega Genesis game remade from Working Designs was never this big. What did these new developers do, need to bury yet another crypto miner in a game update like so many others are becoming guilty of? The game is nowhere near as enjoyable on a phone or tablet/iPad as it was on console with a controller. Ive got live-action TV shows and movies that arent 1.12GB, this is getting ridiculous. Only getting 3 stars out of nostalgia for the original game, but as an app thats sprite-based pixel animation gaming with occasional anime cutscenes, just NO. Verging on uninstalling it.
Good stuff. They added more features to make it better. Is there any plans to port Lunar Eternal Blue.
Now where is Eternal Blue? Lets get on that.
As a mobile port it's hard to imagine a better outcome. Saved games go to iCloud so you can easily switch between iPhone and iPad, etc. The visuals look great and the customizations (including how control mode can be changed on the fly without going to a menu) make the game really easily playable on a touch screen. You can flip between Japanese and English voice tracks whenever you want with a few taps. Similarly, you can flip between original and remastered music tracks. The remastered track is really well done, and it's fun to flip between tracks to hear the difference & reminisce about the original. We find ourselves sticking to the remastered track though! The voice acting in this port is arguably better than the US PS1 release of the game (SSSC) from WD. However, some things could've been done better, e.g., the lyrics of Luna's boat song seem more profound and meaningful in this version, but seem otherwise questionable from a songwriting perspectivei.e., word sequence, rhymes etc. Maybe that's just a tradeoff for deeper meaning (which equates to character development) though. Luna's singing voice is great. If theres one thing Id change (fix) so far, itd be to make the remastered music work properly in the town of Lyton. The original audio has the music (which is a sequenced MIDI-like format) all messed up with pitch bends and such. The remastered version sounds no different before vs. After correcting the music, which makes us wonder if the music is some sequenced format with high quality samples, or rather some waveform format. It is important for the storyline to do this properly. Overall, a fantastic port, well worth playing. We hope they do Eternal Blue.
One of the best titles to ever bless the world. This port is wonderful and true to heart. If its not the best game the only other competition is lunar 2 eternal blue. Please consider porting Lunar 2 Eternal Blue to IOS.
Love this game! First played on the PS1. Would love to see the sequel produced on the iPhone.
Been a huge fan of Lunar since the SegaCD and imported the Saturn version. However, we have to dock it a star because its not easy at all to talk to NPCs with on screen controls. Is there a way to make the area bigger around NPCs to make the icon stay on screen? Its really annoying to try and talk to a moving NPC.
Thank you for keeping the greatest RPG ever made then remade for iOS alive! You need to add a donate button, we would love to make a donation for the update.
This is spectacular on both our iPhones 8+ and Iphone 14pro as well as our older apple tablet. Fantastic. We love that this is continually updated. We have yet to connect a controller or our phone to a larger tv screen/monitor but sone day we will. The only thing now WE NEED ETERNAL BLUE COMPLETE TOUCH for all our apple devices! YES WE DO INDEED.
Youve got to hand it to the iOS team here on behalf of Game Arts: updating this after so many years and providing so many quality of life improvements is worthy of about as much praise as the original developers in creating one of the best and most classic JRPGs of all time. This latest update removes portrait mode, which is a sad loss, but improves the port in virtually every other way. We will never stop playing, and Im sad only because we wish we could pay the dev again for keeping this classic alive. Now if only they could do the same for Star Ocean 2, Id never need another device.
We first played this game on the PS1. We have played most of the major JRPGs from the 90s and early 2000s and still have a soft spot for those types of games and their newer ports. We really enjoyed the ability to up the battle speed. It makes any level grinding much easier. We also liked being able to play it with Japanese audio. We were first exposed to this game through working designs and had only ever played it in English.
Thank you for all the wonderful updates! This is now in our opinion the definitive version of Lunar: The Silver Star. Please release Eternal Blue. Best way to play is mirror to a TV and connect a Bluetooth controller. Its perfect.
With all of the quality of life features present here including soundtrack selection, audio selection, retro mode, variable difficulty, widescreen or traditional gameplay we believe this may very well be the definitive version.
This is such a great game. We are so happy to see it available on the App Store. The only issue we had was with a game crash and we lost all of our data when we thought we had saved the game. That too is also a flash back to the ye'olde playstation one era. Edit 2023 we really love that we can play this game over again on our phone. We would love to be able to play Eternal Blue as well. We would pay! For reals, cash money. Lets make it happen! Lets get that game on here too! Update!! By any chance, would you guys have any interest in doing Lunar Eternal Blue.
Aaahhh the days when games were pure joy with great stories and fantastic game play. No issues with updates and micro transactions were unheard of. We bought a Sega CD for this game and Eternal Blue. When Working Designs released both SSS and EB on the PSOne, it was pure bliss. The Lunar titles are some of the best RPGs released in the 1990s. Great story, great music, fun and lovable characters, great action. Its a must play for anyone who enjoys classic JRPGs. It wont disappoint! Years ago we found this released in the AppStore along with Vay! How awesome! Big thanks to the wonderful team that brought this gem to a new generation! Now please port Eternal Blue and Popfull Mail.
The game is great and we love it in every way. The one thing Id love to see added is a CRT filter like CRT Royale or some other similar one.
Trying to play this game but it crashes on load screen every time iPhone 13 (16.4.1).
The original songs are what made the game. Absolute blasphemy what they did.
On iPhone 7 Plus. Excellent game, excellent port. We had never played the original, but we really like this so far. Fair amount of replay value, definitley lots to do here! We are mostly through our first play through, and we might try another run so that we can get some cool items we missed. Turnbased combat that isnt stat-roll, items and levelling, classic jrpg from our limited experience. Devs: Alex has reached Level 50 but we didnt get an achievement. Maybe the whole party has to get there. Control pad controls are a tad clunky at times, nothing game ruining. Might be an improvement to be able to push villagers that are in motion, or when the player walks into a wall for motion to stop, rather than continue in an open direction. There have been a few occasions where we would go to purchase or talk to an NPC and our character would go left or right as we had held the up direction too long, but did not stop motion as expected. Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks for this awesome game! Edit 4 years later: Please do Eternal Blue.
Just a solid, retro, and great RPG. Never played the original but this was was pretty cool. Story is a little blah but game is good if you like the old style RPGs.
Ive been playing this game one some form since 1991 on our Sega CD. Its our all time favorite game! Probably over 300 play throughs. The PS1 versions are the pinnacle of the two Lunar games but this port from the GBA is pretty darn close to the PS1. The characters are amazing, happy, mad and sad feelings all abound in this game. Just buy it. Its a great great game and story.
