''Ruined King'' is a wonderful game, *severely* held back on the technical front. The game's narration, visuals and gameplay are stellar. The combat has a lot of depth, even though in terms of difficulty the game is relatively forgiving (I found consumables to be largely useless, besides revival potions). The voice acting and visuals are wonderfully done, but where the game shines most are the characters. They're expanded upon so well - even having known them from my time playing League of Legends, I was surprised how much more depth they gave their cast. Their interactions were so fun and interesting to witness! That being said, I also need to mention where the game falls flat: this is a ridiculously buggy product. From disappearing UI bugs (not only a hassle, but relatively common, too), to half of the puzzles being bugged, if you don't keep a Google tab open to look up threads on whether X puzzle is bugged or not, you'll be very frustrated or confused. For me, personally, it wasn't enough to really dampen my enjoyment of the overall experience, but this is not the technical quality I expect from a game that is priced at 30 euro. Some of the achievements are also a bit of a hassle that could have been thought out a little more, if you're the type of person who chases 100% completion, but that's a minor complaint. At least they made it so that clearing a difficulty unlocks the achievement for each prior difficulty! In conclusion, I recommend the game, but never at full price. Wait for a good discount deal.
This game is absolutely great in a vacuum, but there are a lot of bugs that were never fixed before support ended. I would highly recommend keeping multiple save files so you can go back to previous states, because there are some really annoying bugs - for example, I was unable to craft one of the legendary weapons because the "guaranteed" drop from the mob just didn't drop and I had no way to go back to a previous save to try it again. If you can manage the save files and are patient with having to go back and redo some fights/quests, then I would definitely recommend it. If that sounds like a pain to you, then don't play it.
What a game. Unfortunately some bugs and some quests appear WAY too early. Also - imo - way too many fights that just drag playtime along. Besides that, I got a good background story about some LoL characters. Story was really nice. :) Would give it a mixed rating, if it was possible.
TL;DR: Ruined King: A League of Legends Story is a masterclass in turn-based combat that feels like a spiritual successor to Battle Chasers: Night War. Even if you have zero interest in League of Legends, Airship Syndicate’s tight, strategic gameplay and engaging narrative make this a 10/10 must-play. Review: Ruined King: A League of Legends Story Verdict: 10/10 I have absolutely no interest in League of Legends, but as a massive fan of Airship Syndicate’s previous work, Battle Chasers: Night War, I knew I had to play this. It feels like Battle Chasers 2 in the best way possible. While I still think Battle Chasers had the edge on pure mechanical originality, Ruined King delivers a tighter, more captivating story and an incredibly polished combat loop. Combat & Strategy Tactical Depth: The combat is fast, responsive, and demands deep thought—especially on the higher "Heroic" difficulty. Every decision matters, from managing shields and healing rotations to stacking crits and "true damage" debuffs. Playstyle Freedom: You aren't locked into a single way of playing. Through a mix of enchantments, abilities, and runes, you can craft your own unique builds. Whether you want to focus on high-crit multi-attacks or defensive sustainability, the game rewards those who take the time to master their team's synergy. The "WoW" Influence: Coming from over 9,000 hours in World of Warcraft, I felt right at home with the pacing and build management. The final boss fight was a true "edge of your seat" encounter—it required perfect timing and a bit of luck, proving that if you know how to manage rotations and cooldowns, you can overcome even the toughest odds. Narrative & Progression The World & Story: If you love Final Fantasy IV-VIII, the storytelling style here will feel incredibly familiar and welcoming. The narrative is cohesive, the characters are vibrant, and it succeeds where other games fail by giving its cast genuine personality and flavor. The "Airship Syndicate" Factor: Honestly, I only played this because of the developer. They consistently deliver high-quality, "damn good" games. Ruined King has a better story than Battle Chasers, though I still hold Battle Chasers in higher regard for its mechanics. Regardless, I am a customer for life—if they make it, I’ll buy it. Tips for the Journey Difficulty: "Veteran" can feel a bit easy if you’re a strategy veteran. I recommend bumping it up to "Heroic" if you want the combat to really shine. Gear & Builds: Don't feel the need to grind for legendary gear to beat the story. If you’re good at managing your rotations and knowing when to use your ultimates, you can clear the final boss with mid-tier equipment. Speed Up: Take advantage of the speed-up options for combat. It keeps the tempo fast and ensures the game never drags. Final Thoughts Even though I don’t plan on doing an achievement run (the story feels complete once the credits roll), this was a wonderful experience. If you’re a fan of turn-based RPGs, Battle Chasers, or just great tactical combat, don't let the League of Legends branding stop you. It’s an amazing game that stands entirely on its own merits.
I enjoyed this game just like Airship Syndicate's previous game (Battle Chasers: Nightwar) which you should also check out. Knew nothing about League of Legends but wasn't an issue. Turn-based gameplay/combat system was interesting and really nice graphics and art style making it enjoyable to play through all the way to the end. Only issues were several minor annoying bugs (especially with the quest locations on maps) as well as some quests that were hard to know what to do / where to go without checking a guide.
