   Its strong points are the combat(deckbuilder, with turn based combat 1-5 vs X, and dice rolls for attack values and speed) and the story.
   Library of Ruina is a story sequel to LobotomyCorporation. It has NOTHING to do gameplay-wise with its prequel.
   
   The story surpasses that of the prequel, its probably one of the most original and fantastic stories I have heard.… Expand

   In all the hundreds of games I've played, only 5 have had the honour of being considered a 10/10 by me.
   
   Library of Ruina is a turn-basedIn all the hundreds of games I've played, only 5 have had the honour of being considered a 10/10 by me.
   
   Library of Ruina is a turn-based deckbuilding/card battling game with a brilliant story and deep gameplay.
   
   The game's story follows the protagonist Roland after he stumbles into the Library, which players who have finished the first game in the series, Lobotomy Corporation, will understand immediately is run by Angela. Roland is enlisted by her to help find the "perfect book" and win her freedom, and that's as much as I'll say to avoid spoilers.
   
   So how do you go about finding that perfect book? By battling and killing the library guests and turning them into books, of course. Each defeated opponent will drop a book, which you'll use for 1 of 2 things.
   1. Using them to invite other guests and progress through the game.
   or
   2. Burning them to extract pages, which you'll be using for either modifying character stats and giving passive bonuses, or used as your cards to attack or defend with.
   Each combat page has a cost and a set of dice rolls that go with it. the cost is self-explanatory, but the dice work by rolling to determine a number. You have 3 main types of dice, Attack, Defense, and Counter die. The purpose of this is quite obvious. The attack die are further divided into blunt, slash and pierce damage, which different enemies will be weak to or resist. If you roll your dice against an attacking enemy, it will cause a clash, where the higher number roll prevails, and the lower one is deducted from its total.
   
   The game is also quite difficult, and you'll be editing your decks quite often so that you don't fall behind, so if you're not a fan of deck building it may not be for you. Furthermore, the game can be quite grindy, with the pages or books you need only dropping based on chance.
   
   The game's presentation is also great, with cutscenes taking place in a beautifully illustrated visual-novel-esqe style, and the combat using more stylised chibi models. The great visuals are accompanied by an amazing soundtrack to make the experience even more unforgettable.
   
   Overall, if you're a fan of card-based games, I'd recommend this one strongly. One caveat is that the game's story builds directly off of Lobotomy Corporation, so if the story is a big draw for you, which it may be considering the quality of what's featured in this game, you'll need to play that first, though it is also an amazing game in its own right.… Expand

   Lo que me llamo la atención fue que los personajes se hechaban para atras al ser atacados.
   
   Entre por eso y me quede por Las Historias,Los Personajes,Los Diseños, La Música
   
   Me acabo de Pasar el Juego, es un deckbuilder, hay muchas builds, si lo vais a jugar, hay unas pasivas muy buenas que pasan desapercividas que se llaman Mind Algo, a la larga servirán de mucho.
   
   Cuando inicias el juego, hay un Opening, recomiendo verlo cada vez que entres. El Opening me acabo explotando la cabeza 2 o 3 veces luego de avanzar en la historia.
   No hay ningún spoiler, aparecen imagenes de personajes que se presentaran más adelante pero hasta que no los veas en el juego no te daras cuenta.
   
   Los combates contra jefes que tienen música se recuerda, la ost es muy buena y sobretodo aquí
   Hay un jefe que es el primero con música propia que mejora mucho todo lo rodeado al jefe, y te perturbará, si luchas contra él lo entederas
   
   Un defecto que le veo es que estoy leyendo un dialogo,hago click para ver el siguiente y había acabado el dialogo y me mueven a la batalla, unas cortinitas o algo estaría bien para hacer la transición
   
   El juego mejoraria en algunos momentos si tuviese cinemáticas,pero es un estudio pequeño y no les voy a pedir más, me entregaron un juego sobresaliente
   Con algunos puntos de dificultad altos, hacia el final tuve que mirar guias para builds pero eso ni es la mitad del combate.
   
   9.8 le doy al juego, asique 10… Expand
