About Rack N Ruin
Rack N Ruin is a fusion of a top-down action adventure game and a classic arcade shooter. Take control of Rack, a maniacal demon wizard with a gleeful appetite for destruction, and embark on a grand adventure across a world filled with magic and wonder. Then transform the once enchanting world into a hellish nightmare. As the world falls deeper into darkness, Rack's power will grow, and the champions of good will rise to face him.
Engage the legions of good in fast hectic combat that gives Rack N Ruin a special action oriented twist unique to the genre. Explore a vast open world filled with treachery and secrets at every turn. Then dive into delicately crafted dungeons, each with distinctive themes and foes to conquer. The entire world of Rack N Ruin is lovingly hand-crafted, and uniquely laid out. Every bit of the game is hand-painted in detailed high definition.
Story
Sitting atop his throne, the dark lord Ruin rules over much of the known universe. His demon lords march outward into the cosmos subjugating planets for Ruin's ever growing demonic empire. One such creature is Rack, a small, sharp tongued, and diminutive demon lord. Rack's talent for destruction and conquest is unmatched amongst Ruin's legions. However, Rack has one issue that infuriates his dark master. He doesn't subjugate, or enslave any world he is sent to conquer. He just blows the planet up, and moves on. Planets turned into asteroid belts make poor slaves, so Ruin is giving Rack one last chance to conquer a world without jump starting the apocalypse, or be cast into the eternal abyss. Will Rack obey his master? Absolutely not!

This game is what happens when you take Zelda and smash it together with a little Dark Souls. The main character is a menace, and fun to root for (even as he's a terrible person, I couldn't help but cheer). Not a super long game, but good value for the price. I definitely recommend if you're interested.
2/10
It is good to play as the villain , and it is better when you win in the end

You could pretty much call this The Legend of Zelda: Invader Zim. If that speaks to you, then you'd have fun with it.
This game is a true underrated gem (but for real, I mean look at the measly number of reviews it has). Gameplay and structure is 2D Zelda with metroidvania with bullet-hell type of combat. But don't cross it off as an unoriginal game. It actually has a very strong identity of its own and is memorable even years after completion.
