About the Game

Overview



“Let’s start a Journey! To our tomorrow!”

As a member of the renowned RUINSMAGUS Guild, your goal is to help strengthen it with magic, resources – and wisdom! – as you embark on more than 25 unique, story-driven quests. Face off against guardians tasked with protecting the ruins from intruders – and solve the deadly puzzles hidden within. When you've succeeded, head to the surface to acquire new items and upgrade your equipment in town – if you want to live another day, that is!



In RUINSMAGUS, you will take on the role of a novice in the magical arts who is sent to investigate the abandoned ruins below the prosperous town of Grand Amnis. The town’s wealth depends largely on artifacts hidden deep within the ruins, protected by powerful Guardians. Faced with a daunting challenge, you must answer the question that haunts each and every one of your fellow citizens: What mysteries lurk beneath the gilded streets and corners of Grand Amnis?

  • Jack In: Immersive VR mechanics that bring your character to life.
  • Make your Mark: More than 25 story-driven quests to challenge your skills.






Those that enter the ruins have no choice but to fight the Guardians defending the treasures within. You’ll need to upgrade and train in unique magics to overcome increasingly deadly challenges. With your powerful magics and your trusty shield, you will enjoy breathtaking fights against the ruin’s denizens and even rival magic users!

  • Feel the Power: Unleash 16 spell varieties from the palm of your hand.
  • Defend Yourself: Raise your shield with your non-casting hand to block enemy attacks.





After a long day of adventuring, come home to Grand Amnis the recharge and enjoy the sights. Check out the city’s stores and cafes to prepare for further adventures, and make new friends as you enjoy pleasant conversations with your fellow citizens.

  • Explore and Fight: Cast and blink your way through a stunning VR fantasy world.
  • Load Up: Equip armor, gauntlets, and shields to stack the odds in your favor!
