About this game

Ruin Raiders is a turn-based tactical strategy game with roguelike elements inspired by games like the X-com franchise developed by Overpowered Team. Take control of a squad of animals as they explore the ruins and remnants of advanced civilization in search of great treasures and powerful weapons. Fight hordes of demons, robots, and more whilst upgrading your equipment on the fly and face powerful bosses that hide deep in the abyss.

• Most of the game’s levels are procedurally generated, making exploring the ruins themselves highly repayable, once you deploy your squad there is no turning back, you must use your tactical prowess despite overwhelming disadvantage to conquer the dungeon.
• While exploring the ruins is the majority of the gameplay you still have a base to fall back on permanently improve it to increase your chances of success of dungeon diving by permanently upgrading your raider base like upgrading a race’s powerful innate abilities and unlocking more.
• Just like most roguelike games you will be looting and equipping hundreds of unique weapons, grenades, and accessories within the dungeon. You are also able to craft and upgrade them later on some temporary while others become permanent buffs when you find the weapon again.

Reviews

Ruin Raiders is an attractive adventure featuring adorable animal characters. With surprisingly challenging gameplay and satisfying boss fights, every dungeon you descend into provides a unique challenge. The biggest qualms are that the game can occasionally devolve into a grind-fest and there’s a lack of coherent story.
