Inspired by story generator games like Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress, weaving tales of both anguish and humor is central to Ruinarch's gameplay. The game gives you all the infernal tools you'll need to toy with people's lives and relationships.

    There are many ways to be evil. Choose from three overlord Archetypes - each one provides you with a different playstyle. Do you want to focus on sheer destruction or are you into a more subtle puppetmaster approach?

    The most straightforward way to wipe out villagers is to simply cast powerful spells like Meteors, Earthquakes, Fire Balls, Lightning and more. But what happens when you hurl a meteor at a poisonous puddle? Poisonous meteor explosions, that's what! And that's just one of the many nefarious ways that you can combine elemental interactions to create your personalized cocktail of destruction!

    Ruinarch has such depth, imagination and replay-ability that it's simply amazing - If I happened to lose a scenario, I was immediately encouraged to try again. If when I won, then I dived right back in because the next experience would be a totally different experience due to the nature of the villagers and the special abilities chosen. Not one game will ever be exactly the same. Since Ruinarch is presently in Early Access we can be sure that even more evil mayhem will be present come full release time in 2021. The developers are promising more content in the future and I suspect that they won't disappoint. When looking at what they already have given us, I'm thinking that we can expect to be occupied, entertained and maybe even destroyed over and over again!
