Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages

Nice game

Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages, developed and published by Triple.B.Titles, is the kind of game that quietly defies expectations. What initially looks like a simple top-down space shooter quickly unfolds into a sprawling hybrid of arcade action and deep RPG systems, offering a level of scope and complexity that feels far beyond its indie origins.

Oof, this one is ROUGH. Barely works on my computer, controls are awful, menus are broken, the screen keeps flashing constantly... I played like three minutes and my head is throbbing. Not even worth the $1 I paid for it. Hard pass.

A real hidden gem, there's lots to enjoy here with great feeling controls, pretty visuals, a well written story, and plenty of customization and build possibilities. You are getting a lot with how little the developers are asking for.

Hands down one of the best games I have ever played. Very fun story, and combat/customization of ships is top-tier. So much fun building your ship and making it battle the way you want.
