How to play La-Mulana EX on Mac
Game summary
La-Mulana EX is an enhanced port, of the PC remake, for the PlayStation Vita. It adds a bestiary, reworks some item locations, rewords hints, changes puzzles slightly, moves hint tablets closer to the puzzles, and changes some graphics to make environmental clues more noticeable.
"A combination of classic 2D platforming, Metroidvania-style adventuring and challenging action gameplay, La-Mulana EX takes you deep into the ancient ruins of La-Mulana on a quest to discover not just valuable treasure, but the secret to life itself!
Fight monsters, uncover clues, collect items and weapons to enhance your abilities, spring traps and battle huge bosses as you try to solve the mystery of La-Mulana. But watch out! No-one who's entered the ruins before has come out alive… can you succeed where others have failed?"

Play La-Mulana EX on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play La-Mulana EX on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
