    A good game that easily could have been great with a few tweaks.

    Rack N Ruin has some clever concepts that ultimately fall short due to moments of extraordinary frustration.

    Rack N Ruin is a twin-stick shooter (sort of) with a juvenile appreciation for wanton destruction. The role-reversal, with you as the bad guy, brings up some interesting questions, but the story doesn't take near enough advantage of that fact.

    Rack N Ruin is a lot of fun when everything clicks, but these moments just don't happen often enough.

    It gets stuck someone between an RPG and an action game, and in the end none of them really works. It has some interesting ideas, but the gameplay fails to deliver.

    Laced with punishing difficulty spikes that put off rather than urge on, Rack N Ruin falls short with an array of irksome gameplay elements and lack of innovation.

    A game with much unmet potential. After clearing out the same area for the twentieth time, players will realise just how little effect they have on the gaming environment.

    Twin-Stick-Shooter? No! It´s a 2d game in the style of Zelda with great variety, funny humor, amazing gameplay and lot´s of stuff to exploreTwin-Stick-Shooter? No! It´s a 2d game in the style of Zelda with great variety, funny humor, amazing gameplay and lot´s of stuff to explore in a very immerse game world. It´s not very difficult on normal, and I am absolutely having a blast and enjoying myself playing. Had some huge laughs already from the amazing characters and story. The Zelda-like Puzzles are fun and the combat is very tight and good. You can lock on to enemy as in Dark Souls and Bloodborne.… Expand
