Regions of Ruin is a 2D pixel side-scrolling RPG with town-building, where you explore, fight and build into an open world that progressively challenges you and your settlement, and threatens the extinction of the dwarven race.
Players take on the role of a hero tasked with rebuilding and strengthening dwarven settlements across a vast, open world continent. The core combat system requires players to time their attacks and blocks carefully, employing a rock-paper-scissors style attack pattern. As players progress, they can unlock new combat abilities and skills through a robust leveling and character customization system, allowing them to tailor their playstyle.
Traversing the game's expansive and hand-crafted environments is a key part of the experience. Players will encounter a variety of biomes, each filled with secrets to uncover, puzzles to solve, and enemies to defeat. The charming pixel art style and attention to detail heighten the sense of discovery and wonder.
In addition to combat and exploration, players must also manage and upgrade their growing dwarven settlement. This involves allocating resources, recruiting new dwarves, and constructing various buildings and facilities. While relatively simple, the town-building mechanics provide a satisfying sense of progression and growth.
One of the standout features is the ability to recruit and lead a group of dwarven companions into battle. These followers can be assigned different roles and abilities, and their presence can greatly aid the player, especially against larger groups of enemies.
Many players praise the addictive and satisfying gameplay loop, which seamlessly integrates combat, exploration, and resource management. However, some note that the game can become repetitive or easy towards the later stages, as players become overpowered. Additionally, the occasionally confusing quest tracking system and uneven difficulty curve have been minor points of criticism.
