ABOUT REIKON
Reikon is an independent studio located in Warsaw founded in 2014 by four veteran game designers whose work includes the Witcher series, Dying Light, This War of Mine and Shadow Warrior. RUINER is their debut project as a studio and has been quietly in production since January 2015.

Warning: A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights.
  • Sophisticated & Brutal Combat: RUINER features lightning fast combat that requires a delicate balance of overwhelming, brute force, and elegant strikes to overcome all manner of savage opponents. Blast through crowds or slow down time and hand select your points of attack before unleashing a storm of violence on the battlefield.
  • Cyberpunk Inspired Arsenal: Equip all manner of high-tech firearms and melee weapons to ruin all that oppose you. Employ state of the art gadgets like energy shield, dash augmentations, and the switch gun stun or hack the opposition onto your side of the fight.
  • Story-Driven Action: Violent confrontation is a means to an end and trust is a devalued currency in Rengkok as you navigate a senseless world with the help of a mysterious hacker friend.
  • Exceptional Soundtrack: Explore and battle to the intense beats of Khoven, DJ Alina, and famed anime composer Susumu Hirasawa (Paprika, Millennium Actress).

Kill, Die, Repeat

A really likeable game, with fast paced action, and interesting story, a good cyberpubk setting, and a fantastic soundtrack. I don't want to give too much detail to not spoil the game, of you like games like Hotline Miami, buy this game, you won't regret it!

It's pretty

Ruiner is a Twin-Stick Shooter and... it's ok. Combat feels good when you kill someone, but the process of getting there with bullet sponge bosses isn't great. Sometimes I wouldn't have been sure I'd hit a boss if not for the giant health bars. Combat got repetive about 3 hours in, the game took 5 hours to complete. The feeling of repetition in combat is also due to fights locking you in arenas for too long with no real danger to you. Kinda torn on whether to recommend this honestly, the main draw is supposed to be the combat and that has its issues. I would still recommend this if you're drawn in by the art style like I was. Just don't expect a story that will satisfy you

Decent game

Not really a fan of this genre but the game is fine, it's pretty good at doing what it's trying to achieve. If you're into twin stick shooters this is probably the perfect game for you. The Linux version might not be nearly as polished as it could right now but that might change in the future.

If you waiting C-2077, buy this game

Addictive gameplay, cyberpunk setting with a lot of details and atmosphere, stunning design. Unfortunately, the OST is.. meh.

Wish I could keep the Blades!

The game is entertaining although short, but for the price, I wasn't expecting a long game. However I could see them extending it, if they had the budget. It's fast paced and I enjoy that so much! Being a worker and not having time for too many slow games, a fast paced action game à la Hotline Miami was refreshing :D The thing I really found myself wishing for: being able to buy blades and keep them forever! Throughtout the game I found myself relying more on blades than on the guns, so I enjoyed all of the blades the game offered me for a limited time (durability). The default blade (Nerve) is not as entertaining nor as cool, so for me that's what's missing in Ruiner.
