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).

Dystopian Blast

I have a new love for the new isometric titles being released lately. Ruiner is colorful and fantastic.

I didn't expect to have so much fun, 1 hour playing it felt like a minute.

Full package

GOG + NO DRM + LINUX is already a very good start, with a 50% off, like Toots "I say yeah!" For the game itself, it's dark gory atmosphere with plenty of weapons and bad guys is pretty well done. Gameplay feels good even if i'm not very familiar with the view from the top. Soundtrack suits the game well but not as much as I would expect, although it's still above the standarts. I would have liked more variety of environment and also destructible one, but it's overall a very good purchase. Thank you Devolver!

Incredible game, 5 stars

I'm not a huge fan of top-down RPGs, but Ruiner has got me hooked. Pros: -Clean, eye-candy graphics. Some wonderful level design, and a true cyberpunk aesthetic. -Heart-racing gameplay. With enemies surrounding you on every side, half of them shooting at you, you will die a lot. But it's worth it, one you get into the rythm of dancing around while shooting and hacking. Kills feel very satisfying, and the animations are solid. -Excellent music score than keeps pace, and auments your experience rather than taking away from it. Cons: -Story is barebones. All the dialogue is simple, it's only meant to progress the story so you can get back to fighting. -If you don't like dying a lot, this game isn't for you. Luckily, the respawn is fast, and it throws you back into the game a few seconds before you died. This is only a con for anything above easy. It's well worth 20 bucks, and there's tons of replayability here. If you like the cyberpunk feel, this game will give it to you.
