If its fairly priced Ill grab it tomorrow. Lone Ruin will test your patience, but let’s all be grateful the arcade action comes without the arcade cost. Its cool that the normal roguelite mode and survival are both included.
That said though, it’s a very okay game with a lot of potential so maybe in the future with a few balance patches, it could stand on its own two feet for Hades fans waiting for the second game. Lone Ruin feels a lot better thinking about it as a slightly more complicated arcade game than as a full-blown roguelite. Lone Ruin’s biggest failing is how shallow the game is.

Lone Ruin’s Biggest Weakness Is a Lack of Content. Lone Ruin Review: A Gorgeous But Limited Rogue-Like Super Rare Originals By Arron Kluz / Updated: J11:12 am EST EDITORS' RATING : 5 / 10 Pros Gorgeous visuals A few unique and fun weapons Good soundtrack Cons Severe lack of features Hardly any story Very repetitive runs A Nintendo Switch code was provided to SVG for this review. I would say this Lone Ruin is a very bare bones new roguelike from Cuddle Monster Games that features 1 repeatable track of levels and bosses. Sadly, that’s where the similarities end. Lone Ruin is a very bare bones new roguelike from Cuddle Monster Games that features 1 repeatable track of levels and bosses. Levels play out similarly to another roguelike, Hades. You trade in the action platforming for twin-stick shooter gameplay. There could definitely be some balancing with the weapons, and bosses, as the bosses can feel like way more of a challenge than any of the enemies depending on your setup. Lone Ruin is more of a traditional roguelike experience. Lone Ruin is the type of isometric dungeon crawler I have been looking for, and if I ignore the flaws and choose to make the game harder for myself by not picking what is so clearly overpowered, it’s quite fun.
I have no issue with games not spoon feeding you lore, I am a Dark Souls fan after all, but at least use the music to help build the sort of atmosphere and tension I should be feeling in a battle for my life in the dark. Essentially, you boot up the game and just go, no world building with dialogue either voice acted or to be read at all. With how dark and dingy the ruins are, the music should match that cold, eerie feeling, but instead there isn’t much atmosphere to be built at all. Room to room, Lone Ruin doesn’t add much atmosphere with the music. Beat a boss, descend further, it all looks the same.
