Lost Ruins
Description
Lost Ruins is a 2D side-scrolling survival action game, where you play as a young girl that has awoken in a strange and foreign place without her memories. Explore a dark and dangerous world, battle hideous monsters, and topple incredible bosses.
A young girl wakes up in a dimly lit dungeon without any of her memories. Surrounded by horrible, bloodthirsty monsters, she is rescued by a mysterious magician, Beatrice. With Beatrice’s help, the girl goes on a perilous journey to find answers and unlock the secrets of the Lost Ruins.
Engage in Combat
Combat in Lost Ruins is in real time, and can be both fast and methodical. Slash away at enemies, burn them to a crisp, or even deflect their projectiles back at them. Arm yourself with a variety of swords, axes and other assorted medieval weaponry, and hack monsters to pieces.
Master Spells
For those with an affinity for magic, Lost Ruins allows you to cast a variety of spells through wands, tonics, and scrolls. Burn monsters, freeze bosses, and heal yourself when in danger. Choose what works for your playstyle and make a magic casting character that’s totally your own.
Choose Accessories
The world of Lost Ruins is a dangerous one and being armed to the teeth with awesome weaponry is sometimes not enough. That’s where accessories come in. Accessories are unique pieces of equipment with all manner of effects. One accessory might protect you against fire, while another might heal you when you’re poisoned. The right combination of accessories can create different strategic options for your adventure.
Use the Environment
As you explore the depths of Lost Ruin’s dimly lit dungeons, you will find that while everything around you might bring about your death, you can also use the environment around you to your advantage. Elements within the world will react with other elements realistically. Flammable liquids will be set ablaze when in contact with lit lanterns. Ice magic will freeze bodies of water, making them dangerously cold. The more you understand the environment and how to use it to your advantage, the more dangerous you will become.
Main Character
A young school girl who wakes up in a dangerous underground maze with no memory of her past. Desperate to find answers to who she is and how she ended up in this place, she begins exploring the ruins.
Beatrice
A mysterious woman with incredible magical ability, Beatrice acts as the main character's guide through the lost ruins. She seems to be hiding something, however.
Goblin Merchant
This helpful little guy works for Beatrice, and appears throughout the game to assist the main character.
Sora & Mingie
These two girls aren't just zombies, they're also big fans of pop music idols, evidenced by the glow sticks they carry wherever they go.

Keybind
Usually, the button to jump is the up arrow, but here it uses the space bar. Then I changed it to jump keybind from space to up arrow as well as for interact from up arrow to space bar. However, after applying, I couldn't go back to adjust the settings, exit, load, or continue into the game. I recommend being able to differentiate between keybinds when playing and keybinds when setting. Thank You!

Dark Souls Isekai
A metroidvania that follows a schoolgirl spirited away to another world as she sets out to try and regain her memories. The Heroine's low HP, high damage from enemies, potentially devastating status effects and traps strewn about make it a perilous journey, so care must be taken as you explore. Most melee weapons have some windup time and an animation you can't cancel out of, and if you take damage you will be staggered out of your attack. Most enemies can also be staggered and interrupted, so proper timing and positioning is important for fighting effectively, it gives the combat a nice strategic flavour to it. You also have magic as an offensive option, and it ranges from the elemental projectiles you can expect to more exotic options. There are also interesting things going on with environmental interactions, mainly with how liquids on surfaces and bodies of water can be affected by elemental attacks, and the ability to spread liquids on surfaces. Taking advantage of these mechanics can give you an upper hand in combat, and they are also just fun to play with. All this and the buff-giving equipment and consumables can be combined to tremendous effect, which you just might need to stay alive with how frail you can be, heheh. Standard enemies can be dispatched quickly if you know how to deal with each, though can still be challenging. Unsurprisingly you do not want to let them swarm you. There is also a good deal of variety on display. The bosses are challenging and will need you to make good use of all the tools you have on hand, along with just plain old good reflexes to survive their onslaughts, and all have impressive designs (particularly if you like anime girl eye candy). Story seems like standard stuff, you will probably see the twist long before it hits, but it is still fun to witness especially with the game's weirdness. A lot of fun overall, I strongly recommend it if you like metroidvania.
