Editorial overview
What it is
Venture into an old, magical ruin to seek an ancient power in this highly replayable, top-down, roguelike twin-stick shooter. Combine and optimise your spells to defeat twisted monstrosities and dive deeper into the Lone Ruin.
The premise
An ancient city enveloped by magic. What once was a buzzy civilisation and people living in harmony with the magic surrounding them has long since been driven mad and twisted beyond recognition by the very magic that used to help sustain them. What could have corrupted this city? Having heard the legends, you, a gifted spellcasting explorer, arrive at these hostile ruins a millenia later with the goal of seeking this ancient power and finally cleansing the city of the corruption it was consumed by all those years ago. The answer probably lies in the center of Lone Ruin… if you can make it there.
