Regions Of Ruin

I've played this game twice. The first time (a blind run) was from a few years back, and I didn't use any online guides. For the second run, I played recently and used online guides. While I did enjoy the game, there are many frustrating parts about it. For example, there's no point in enchanting any weapons or armour since the random ones you find are ultimately stronger anyways. This is due to the fact that there's a 4000 point cap on enchantments, so you can't create crazy OP weapons or armour. Another example is the quest system, which is stored in an UNORGANIZED journal, making it impossible to read through. The QOL for that is finished quests being dimmed, but that still doesn't change the fact that I have to scour through pages to find what I need. There are also hidden quests that aren't tracked, and I find it absurd I need to use a pen and paper to keep track of it myself. I ended up not bothering with them sometimes. Health items are functionally a time saver but ultimately not worth it since they take up inventory slots, and the best way to make money is through bounties which only 3 can be done at a single time -- I wish I could sell the huge amounts of adamantit…

Wow - I somehow found myself wrapped into this game full focus for a while. It captured my attention and was satisfying, to grow the court, upgrade, hire help, overall it was quite a fun little game, although - focusing on throwing axe and leveling that up just a little bit - you'll soon find it's a tad OP. Maybe I got lucky with some enchantments that buffed my throwing, but I could walk through entire orc bases and slaughter the boss with ease due to my throwing axe. Maybe having a super-wide monitor also helped, to be able to see everything clearly I was lobing at. Either way, it was quite fun and it took me about 21 hours to complete, and there's still many areas I can go back to explore.. we'll see if it keeps me captured now that the bloated boss is defeated. (Oh, and I got it on sale for $2.39, which certainly felt worth it to then cost me a full day of my life...)

nice game

Got this free back in April of 2020 during COVID time. Cannot believe how many years it took for me to finally play this little gem of a game. It's very engaging from the moment you load it up. HIGHLY recommend it!

ok this review is weird to make because yeah this is one of those "i would love if steam had a neutral/mixed reviews" because guess what this game is not god awful or perfect is literally a 6 (give or take) the game had a good gameplay premise (not story) and gameplay loop and if you want to try or experience it to the fullest it's not that bad, but the game has some problems that are a non-negotiable lets make this easy pros-cons PROS obv the gameplay, you prob have not played a game like this and it's refreshing on how simple and effective (even a lil addictive for the first 4-6h) it's like a dungeons game with no true dungeons and it's actually nice the progression is easy simple but effective get better gear fk them enemies up, it's the bread and butter you will love those high crits and i'm a 1500%+ crit enjoyer myself CONS everything else--JK (not really) some languages make the game literally unplayable because they bugg the text and make it disappear so effectively only playable in english the gameplay even though is a pro after the 6h mark does not change anything and you get bored because there is no true depth on it stealth is not only useless it doesnt work pr…
