Escape Ruin

This game is 100% the most bare-bones it will ever be at this time. The game barely functions as it is, tells you almost no information, keywords you will have to imagine for yourself. You can draft "attack" (which is basic strike from Slay the Spire) as a card reward. Escape Ruin will need a long time to cook to be worth even close to the $9 asking price.

Although, it is still in early access, Escape Ruin has an engaging loop with interesting mechanics, a good number of different cards, relics and items as well as some difficult encounters that can keep you on your toes. The game has its own art style with a unique charm in it, a voice narrator for the many events that the player can come across during a run and a promising dark fantasy world with its secrets and mysteries. And while it's rough on the edges, you can notice the love and work that the development team has poured in its craft so far and be assured that once it is fully released, this project will provide a good and fun experience for anyone that loves roguelite card games.

It has a lot of potential and a strong foundation to build on. I like the aesthetic part and the music sets the perfect mood. voice acting adds a lot of personality and immersion. Some of the mechanics really stood out to me such as the lairs were you can go deeper and push your luck or just play safe. Sanctity mechanics is a great idea but i would like to see more of it. Overall, it’s a promising project with great ideas, and I’m excited to see how it develops further.

I like it. hard game. needs a lot of patience
