Regions of Ruin is all about exploration. Spearheading the entire dwarven race on a quest to reclaim their lost lands and fortune, you’ll battle legions of orcs, wizards, and other mythical beasts.
Don’t tackle more than you can handle though, as your rusty starter axe and leather hat aren’t going to do much against a formidable necromancer with a thirst for blood. Progressing gradually, and slowly expanding the dwarven empire is the name of the game in Regions of Ruin, where combat lies alongside town building and resource management to deliver a complete RPG package in all its pixelated glory.
A 2D side-scrolling adventure, Regions of Ruin brings as much depth as possible without sacrificing its minimalistic design. Containing relatively complex character stats to strategic raiding, the game gets quite immersive from the get-go. Instead of going the metroidvania route, Regions of Ruin is more like a full-length modern Oregon Trail complete with brutal battles, loads of loot, and minor questing. Central gameplay revolves around conquering enemy-controlled camps and locations in order to harvest their resources. The farther you travel from your cozy village, the stronger and more aggressive opponents get.
