    I feel the game is more of a 10 than a 9.

    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.

    There is basically no new player guide within the game, after nearly 2 hours into the game I still couldn't understand how the battle, deck buildings work. Also it just feels so much like a mobile game instead of a PC game.

    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

    De no ser por el Game Pass, no hubiese provado esta Joya

    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

    Great game, story-wise and art-wise, one of my top 10 favourite games.
    Features great moral scenarios, allowing the player to think and learn about the possible world we are heading towards. The strategic aspect of the game is nearly endless due to the huge amount of combinations of cards and passives.

    Would highly recommend it if you are into Lore-heavy games (Though you might want to play the first game, Lobotomy Corporation, which happens before this one).    … Expand

    I am fire
    Burn those who dare to care for me
    And my fuel are memories, fuel are memories of you
    They perish with the heat, perish with thе heat
    So I can move on
    Flower of iron
    Shrivеlled up to hide the imposter in me
    "Hey, why did you leave? Why did you leave?"
    Don't let those words out of me
    Imposter's about to speak
    So I chewed on 話梅糖

    The game itself is pretty great. I really enjoy the combat style and the way you can abuse the system to get some truly overpowered combinations going. Can't wait for what the developers will make next!
