About the Game

Ruins To Fortress - A 2D survival game focusing on base building and PvP/PvE gameplay.

Welcome to Ruins To Fortress, a thrilling 2D survival game currently in development that puts you in a world of base-building and intense PVP combat. Prepare to embark on a journey as you navigate a harsh, abandoned island teeming with danger and opportunity. Gather resources, construct shelters, cultivate plants, and forge tools and weapons to survive. Feel free to install the separate dedicated server or host the game yourself. Help us stress test the servers as we raise the maximum capacities during Early Access.

Gameplay

Survival Mechanics: Players start naked, armed only with a club on an island, and must gather basic resources like wood, stone, and food to survive. Unlike other survival games, food is not strictly necessary for survival but provides health benefits.

Crafting: Ruins To Fortress offers an extensive crafting system, allowing players to create a wide range of items, from simple tools and weapons to advanced technologies. Resources like metal, cloth, and animal hides are used to craft equipment that facilitates survival.

Base Building: Base building is a central aspect of the game. Players can construct shelters to protect themselves from other players, NPCs, and animals. These bases can be attacked and looted by other players, making the game particularly exciting and competitive.

Raiding: Another characteristic element of Ruins To Fortress is the raiding of other players' bases. By using explosives and other tools, players can breach enemy bases to steal resources and equipment.

PvP (Player vs. Player): Ruins To Fortress is known for its intense PvP elements. Players can attack each other at any time, making the game a constant challenge. Alliances and rivalries between players or clans strongly shape the gameplay experience.

PvE (Player vs. Environment): Ruins To Fortress already includes numerous PvE elements to offer a non-competitive gaming experience. These PvE elements are planned to be significantly expanded and enhanced over the course of Early Access.
