Ruin of the Reckless

Unpolished. Clones of your characters come to fight you which is very confusing when you are playing co-op and expect another player running around. None of the combat is " interesting ". You kite monsters while they try to hit you. The game is not challenging, but it will kill you via attacking you from several directions that you will not be able to anticipate. IE --> While facing an enemy, some enemies can jump into an invulnerable state and land on you. This is avoidable, as long as you're paying attention. Slime enemies can be a small imperceptible smudge that can move and hit you immediately when in range. Easy when there is nothing else on the screen, difficult when managing a dozen enemies. After four hours, beat the first boss since the game crashed 5 times. I would watch this game on youtube. It seems like it has a neat narrative, but I wouldn't suffer the gameplay to watch it. Edit 1: Developer is very responsive and quick to patch issues. Will keep playing. There is a lot of dialogue and written into the game which does some interesting world building. Also with partners that do not play with pets/familiars the game is far less chaotic and easier to play.…

Unfortunately, not very good - not enough to compel me to even play for a full hour. Between the bugs (dying with hit points remaining, freezing during loading screens) and the unreadable combat (damage cues getting lost in a sea of bouncing enemies and faux-jump attacks), it just doesn't seem worthwhile to continue playing. The art and music are fantastic, but everything else is meh. Most disappointingly, the "melee" combat isn't really melee - this plays exactly like any other twin-stick shooter, and your "melee" attacks mostly are actually just close-range projectiles. There's a notable lack of polish and clunkiness to Ruin of the Reckless - spend your $10 elsewhere.

Only a middling reccomendation and that's truly a shame. There’s a lot to like about Ruin of the Reckless. The graphics really pop, showcasing a world full of unique and interesting character designs. The melee combat really makes you feel powerful as you knock one slime into three more and send an entire room of enemies ricocheting around like billiard balls. As long as you enter with the right expectations, this ruin is certainly worth a look for a pair of friends seeking a new dungeon to crawl. Want to know more?

The only thing I will say about this game is that you cannot find a single video of anyone clearing it on Youtube. Heck you can't find a single video of the final boss.

Can't play above 1080p and fullscreen just adds a black border around anything larger than the set resolution...

Solid game. I don't have many hours, so I don't know what the end game is like, but I really enjoy the combat in the early stages as well as all the different weapons you can use. The card system is interesting and a cool way of doing permanent progression.
