Played on Cachy OS Linux. No issues. A slightly difficult platformer in the vein of the Momodora games. Dodge, blast, and slowly swing your sword or whatever through a maze filled with 75% monster girls with very little health. Your's, I mean. You are very squishy and clearly skip arm day. There's lots of mechanics, status effects, equipment, and environmental factors to consider when trying to survive. Room filled with fireballs falling from the ceiling? You can dodge, or better yet equip flame resistant equipment THEN dodge. Enemies in a pool below? Cast a lightning spell and fry them all. But there are other times when you don't pay attention and hit a brazier causing the oil you're standing in to flambe you. Don't use poison weapons in water. You will die fast. Quests get assigned throughout, and aside from one quest, most are completed by finding something 2-3 rooms away. Story is standard isekai, with a very obvious twist. There's a little more to it, but not by much. The art design is nice. I'm not sure why people call the design "overly horny". Sure there are plenty of women enemies, but they're honestly fairly tame and you don't even have time to ogle because you'll be running around screaming, "I'M GONNA DIE!" But when I did become either acclimated or strong enough only 3 enemies I recall that really want you to focus on their assets. Admittedly when I finally got the timing of the slime girl fight I started noticing there was more splashing than just me, so maybe there was more to all the others. Music is ok. The only standout track I recall comes in at the very end as a haunting piano melody. There is a bunch of post game content. Mostly just different ways of experiencing the main game. Assassin mode upgrades you physically (with less health though), gives you invisibility powers, but takes away magic, Witch mode reverses that. There's some scant changes in dialogue and items to reflect your new fortes, but not much. Boss mode is not a boss rush, but kind of like Castlevania 3, where you can switch characters between 3 of the bosses from the main game after the end and everyone has their own skills. Honestly the story is a lot better as well, having the three play off each other in scenes makes for a lot more than the original air-headed schoolgirl. Finally there's hardcore mode, with limited lives to get to the end, but I managed in my first try since I beat the game about 4 times at this point. End of the day, pretty interesting, but not the most polished game of it's ilk.
Finally 100%. At the start of the game, you will feel so weak and die from getting hit twice, even though the game itself tells you to approach situations carefully. But really, the game is fun, and i feel really unbeatable when fighting anything (in couple of my run), only to still die because you zapped yourself in the water. In any mode the game gives you, you're going to find a way to become OP, either combo through equipment or simply by using certain spells. I think the consistent strat that will make the game easy on every difficulty is anything that you can combo with invisibility, and my favorite is going to be invisibility + Chain Lightning. To summarize, the game is good. I recommend it if you don't mind being careful or sometimes playing slowly during the first couple of minutes or hours of the game.
Decently challenging, fluid, and has a cheeky sense of humor I can appreciate. There is a lot of inventory maintenance (and I do mean a LOT of pausing to use potions, weapons, and accessories) that can get a little frustrating; but it's over all outweighed by the quick pace of zone to zone progression and entertaining but challenging boss battles. It has a rather unique new game+ feature that I absolutely love that I won't elaborate on in leu of spoilers. In the end it's well worth it for the price. I'd even say it's a definite steal for a connoisseur of metroidvanias. If you like this genre it would be unfortunate for you to pass this one up.
Lost Ruins is one of those games that is very easy to judge incorrectly at first glance. The character designs and presentation might lead some people to dismiss it, but doing so would mean overlooking a genuinely excellent Metroidvania. Beneath the surface lies a game packed with satisfying exploration, rewarding combat, and an impressive amount of content that kept me engaged from beginning to end. The pixel art is just beautiful. Every environment is full of detail, the animations are smooth, and the overall visual style gives the game a lot of personality. The atmosphere created by the lighting, effects, and enemy designs makes the world feel mysterious and alive. Even after hours of playing, I often found myself appreciating just how much care went into the presentation. The gameplay itself is excellent. Exploration feels rewarding, with secrets and new equipment constantly encouraging you to revisit old areas and experiment with different approaches. Combat is methodical and satisfying, with various weapons, magic, and status effects creating a surprising amount of depth. The game rewards careful play and preparation without becoming overly frustrating. While Lost Ruins may not be particularly long on a single playthrough, I never felt disappointed by its length. In fact, the game offers a great deal of replayability. Completing the story unlocks additional playable characters, each with their own playstyles and perspectives. These aren't simply cosmetic additions either. They add meaningful variety and provide further insight into the story and world, making subsequent playthroughs feel worthwhile rather than repetitive. This replay value is what elevates Lost Ruins beyond being just a good Metroidvania. It transforms what could have been a relatively short experience into one that can easily provide many more hours of enjoyment. Unlocking new characters and discovering more pieces of the narrative gave me plenty of reasons to keep coming back.
