Text of the video
Super rare games known for producing limited numbers of physical games for certain Indie titles continue their own publishing label with lone ruin an arcade style twin stick roguelike game quite similar to something like Hades if I were to offer a comparison to other games in the genre it's just about to release on the Nintendo switch but has it left me Spellbound or a ruin of a man well thank you to the publishing team for the review code and
now let's find out
Explorer seeks the fabled power within the ruined City Legends speak of the inhabitants at once lived there in harmony wielding great magic but not much else is known about the place other than the city is
now laying in Ruins and is home to horrendous creatures the Explorer must use a mixture of spells and Agility to progress further within the lone ruins
Gameplay wise this is a spell-based twin stick shooter with roguelites and arcade mechanics your character will arrive at the entrance of the ruins and be greeted by a tall hooded entity who will offer one of eight spells these are quite varied and play very differently from each other albeit all have a cooldown penalty when depleted and there are more spells to find Within the Ruins and your character can carry a maximum of free offensive and offensive spells the player will enter a floor and will have to evade and defeat the waves of enemies that appear on screen once they have been defeated you'll be able to choose one of two paths each with a symbol of the next room's reward this gives the player a bit more strategy while still being fair and challenging mainly because preview in the next rube's rewards is only half the battle as you still have to enter and of course survive to obtain it the gameplay here is very fast paced and satisfying mainly due to the simple controls and the fluidity at which the character moves around the level the evasive dash for example is not limited to elevations within the environment meaning that one button press can cause the player to dash up platforms where the monsters cannot reach you immediately like all other actions within the game the dash also has a cooldown enemies come in all shapes and sizes with some being particularly dangerous in big numbers and it can be easy to get overwhelmed defeating them will
When it comes to the visuals the developer has used a specific palette to bring this Samba world to life this consists of indigo's Pinks and purples contrasted

This genre goes well with any fast-paced soundtrack and this is no different there is nothing more scintillating than dodging waves of Abominations whilst casting spells on them with those Tunes banging as you play visuals have a sharp and crisp look but could have done with a tad more variety and they score 17 out of 20. audio is very good and Suits the gameplay perfectly and it gets the full 20 out of 20.

Lone ruling costs 12 pounds 99 and Regional equivalents are on your screen now there are currently no plans for a physical Edition but with super rare games publishing this could be something that occurs in the future grapple dog was their other published game I believe and that did get a limited physical release in the end so it is a possibility the quality here is pretty impressive considering that it was created by an indie developer there's a lot to enjoy and whilst it is a simple game it caters to all kinds of players from the score junkies to those looking for a more cathartic game to blow off some steam some people may begin
now if that statement applies to them by what's been said in the review so far but overall value scores 17 out of 20.
To conclude as a personal fan of these kinds of games I can truly say that my long month with the review code has been an absolute blast although the gameplay can become repetitive there are enough loadouts and game modes to keep you coming back for more if you enjoy such games and having an online scoreboard will definitely have the most competitive of Gamers spending a large amount of hours attempting to perfect each run if you have ever wanted to experience this genre at its best but felt a little overwhelmed finding a good place to start this is a fantastic jumping in point and a great game in its own right
