Thanks to Lace-Mamba.com for supplying us with a copy of “Lucius”! We greatly appreciate it.
So, if you’ve ever seen the Omen and liked it then you’ll love this game. You play as a child called Lucius. Lucius was born on June 6th, 1966…If you did the math that is 666! Lucius has been given the job of the Anti-Christ. Lucius gets a visit from his father on his 6th birthday and during his visit Lucius does his father’s bidding. Lucius ends up going on a killing spree at Dante Manor which is his home.
Trailer and picture gallery located at bottom of review, check them out after reading my review!
The game has 9 separate chapters which in the beginning of each chapter you are given a voice-over and notebook on your next target. Upon completion of your kill, you are visited by Lucifer to gain new powers and make old ones more powerful. Combustion, telekinesis, and mind-control being some of the powers. This gives you a lot of power and most of the kills are funny, morbid, and very entertaining. As you progress to the game, aside from your father giving you power you gain experience which can be used towards powers.
The game could have been a bit more scarier but since you are the evil character in this story there isn’t much horror to be had. You are simply a tool of the devil and it is your job to serve your father by killing a bunch of people. It would have been nice to get scared a bit but overall doesn’t ruin the game. One thing that I loved about moving around in the game is that world is filled with details and the environment is pretty big. Can become tedious when doing missions but I love games that give you more than you expected. This helps you play the game longer; you’re not stuck playing the game and an hour goes by and you are already 70% done with the game. Long games are fun and I love that!
Graphics are not bad and but can be a bit unrealistic and lighting is a problem in certain areas. The cut scenes are entertaining and I one of things I looked forward while I played the game. I love playing games and little videos pop up here and there. It gives the story more meaning and helps you get sucked in.
The music in the game is very smooth, and weird at times. The music employs violin crescendos, cellos, and orchestral choirs that are common of the horror genre. I love this kind music and only adds to the game. Just like the videos, it helps you feel the story and get drawn in.
Overall I enjoyed the game and it is worth playing. If you love horror games that scare you off your seat then this game might not be for you, but if you’re looking for a challenge with a bit of puzzles mixed then I encourage you to get this game. Like I said, Lucius is worth playing and I assure you won’t regret it.

Very interesting review. I just got the game a couple days ago and has been playing it ever since. I agree with you on the graphics, the lighting is kind of bad but I would’ve gave the graphics a 9 since it’s not that bad.
The graphics were good but I don’t know man, I expected more from it though. Lightening and some spots didn’t mix well…But overall I will admit it was good. My ratings system is different from others. A 7 from me is decent, 8 being good, 9 being very good, and 10 of course being excellent. Anything with a 6 or below is not good in my book.
Sorry, I was going to say 8. But I guess it’s between a 7 and 8 for me, being that I quite enjoyed the feel of the game.
Really? I have not played the game yet, but From the trailers I seen it would appear the graphics are not really that good compared to games these days.
However, games should not really be rated badly just for the graphics. The game play is always whats makes the game. I still play games from all the old systems
I think you were being too generous to the game. I’d give it around a 6/10, because of the heavily scripted gameplay. I didn’t really enjoy playing it that much. And the story made absolutely no sense, I think it was just an excuse to kill people
That’s the whole point of the game though. You go around killing people because your father, Lucifer, demands it! lol
I think you have been a bit generous too, I would give it a 6-7, considering the atmosphere is well done,the game itself is enjoyable, but it’s sad you have only one way to perform the kills. A bit more freedom would have make it a real top notch game!
Thank you for the great review. The name of the mansion is ironic but totally fits, Dante is an Italian Poet, long dead. One of his poems Inferno, depicts his journey through hell.
From your initial description the game sounds quite scary, however as you state this is not the case.
It is a game I might try, but only as a rental.
