Modern takes on old games are some of my favorite indies and this blog post explains the appeal really well. Lunacid is kind of like King's Field and Shadow Tower but in the end the developer is KIRA, not From Software, so the game will feel different no matter how close to the original formula it is.

I waited in excitement for a long time for the release of Lunacid but came away somewhat disappointed. I'm glad it exists and don't regret the time spent... But I just don't find it compelling enough to go through again.

I love Lunacid but gotta admit its' gameplay is a bit lackluster. It's held primarily by its superb atmosphere and the feeling of exploration. I replayed the game several times but whatever challenges I come with don't really make the game hard. And level 1 playthrough would just be a boring slog thanks to 1 Speed...
