    Lost Ruins is a pretty god game with great pixel art and visual effects on those pixels. If you like Metroidvania games-don't miss this game. Story is simply but fulfilling, controlls smooth, bunch of items with passive properties that will allow you to customise your playstyle on the go.

    Lost Ruins é um metroidvania que surpreende, com um sistema de combate simples porém funcional, dificuldade balanceada podendo ser jogado com bastante criatividade, eu por exemplo joguei com arma de arremesso e uma zweihander, com uso de magia quase nulo.
    - Sua história apesar de não ser o foco surpreende além de ter finais diferentes dependendo de algumas escolhas

    - Trilha sonora agradável
    - Boss battle boas
    - Side quests recompensadoras
    - No geral é um ótimo metroidvania e recomendo para fãs de Castlevania assim como eu.    … Expand

    Overall, very fun, would have somehow liked more, and I think after a certain point, the magic / weapons you use can make the game significantly easier, so my first play through started hard / expected kind of difficulty, and finished almost too easy.

    The game at first is important on really managing your items, and the damage you take, while learning about properly timing attacks and patterns. This is not a game where you're going to dodge everything with i-frames, but rather play around attacks and when you can. Don't come into the game expecting to dark souls roll into every attack to dodge it.
    Once you get used to the combat it feels very satisfying, especially given the different weapon types you can use.
    Story is interesting, and you get small clues to stuff, but I wouldn't call it anything over the top special.
    The special part to me were the visuals, they are quite great especially if you like the weeb/anime aesthetic. The bosses and overall enemy types are all visually great, and have good fights if you aren't feeling over the top powerful. example being, on the last boss for myself, I was easily able to just loop one of my spells over and over and not really take any damage.

    TLDR: Visually great, Combat is good and especially rewarding on the harder difficulties, could have been a bit longer, but big recommend if you really do love the weeb/anime feels.    … Expand

    Can cute/sexy anime girls be mixed with the dark fantasy world of Dark Souls and the like? Sure… but that's no promise of a fine product. Now, there are many indies out there that try to sell through fanservice alone, but Lost Ruins is actually not one of those. Yes, it has waifu bosses with big bouncy assets, and they drop swimsuits as the reward, but to be perfectly honest this isn't the main thing here. Actual effort has been made during this title's creation, with the fanservice (or whatever you want to call it) being just the cherry on top of it all. It's just that the end result isn't really a good, or finely polished game, with the slow, cumbersome combat definitely taking the biscuit.

    Lost Ruins is nothing more than a cumbersome, unnecessarily frustrating and unbalanced video game. In short, it is a jumble of excellent ideas thrown to the wind, but which at least is a feast for the eyes.

    Lost Ruins is a very simple, but still exciting game, which offers a complex magic system and exciting opponents. Probably, by the release on new consoles, it will become even more polished, and some animation flaws and sections with jumps on platforms will be corrected. But even now, Lost Ruins delivers a lot of nice emotions and fun.
