User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
Weirdly it is like you are the storyteller from Rimworld. With our own base and units to use. Don't be afraid to send a friggin army! Unlock all the fun stuff that way. Though there's something to be said for the enjoyment of slowly corrupting multiple villages into conflict with one another, also. There's an effective "god mode" that's a blast as well. Lots of traits and unique features to different citizens that you can corrupt or even straight up remove (looking at you, "blessed"). And plague rats are my favorite thing to spawn near food and water sources. Definitely worth giving it a go at the price point it has. Let alone on sale.
People complain over dumb things. So what if the game was abandoned? Games are abandoned all the time. Here is the honest breakdown without just automatically dismissing the entire game just because its "abandoned" which doesn't actually matter in some cases (Some cases it DOES matter like Stonehearth for example, but i digress) What Ruinarch does well. It has a simple gameplay loop. It's not a game that necessarily needs a ton of crazy updates really, it's fine the way it is. You play an evil deity figure, You observe a map of inhabitants, with their own individual autonomous AI behaviors. And then you use your demon powers to mess with them, and watch their reactions and how messing with them changes up how their community acts. That's it. its fine. it's fun, it has a specific type of gameplay, it does that 1 thing well.
