About the Game

In Raiders of Ruin, you guide a group of 5 champions sent on a quest to seize the throne of the Underworld itself. Along the way, you will encounter many deadly bosses and engage in challenging, strategic turn-based combat. You decide how to build your party, mixing-and-matching between 9 different classes, each with drastically different strengths and weaknesses. You can change classes any time, so experiment frequently to craft the perfect strategy for each enemy!

Features

  • Over 40 boss fights, each with their own unique mechanics. Expect multiple phases, colourful gimmicks, and ruthless attacks.
  • No game-overs: Your progress is saved after every battle. Defeat simply means a chance to try again.
  • Study your enemies ahead of time by viewing the Boss Log, where you can find a record of your greatest foes and a description of their attacks. You must prepare to counter their strategies with a plan of your own!
  • Class-based combat system that's simple to learn, hard to master. Swap classes before any battle to arm yourself for the fight ahead. Find a combo that works for you and stick to it, or experiment frequently to find the perfect squad.
  • 9 main classes to choose from. Need more firepower? Swap that Paladin for a Wizard. Expecting a long fight? Try poisoning your foe with a Rogue.
  • Multiple subclasses for most classes, providing even more customization. Should your Ranger be a Hunter, or a Survivalist?
  • Innovative rematch system that replaces traditional level-grinding. Instead of fighting normal enemies repeatedly, you will occasionally be given the opportunity to rematch a boss of your choosing for a second chance at its rewards (though this system is entirely optional).
  • MIDI soundtrack inspired by PC games of the early 2000's, with some modern twists.
  • A backpack that might be alive?
