[quote][b]Warning: Third Party Account[/b] This game requires you to create a third party "Ruarua.ru" account... there's no valid reason for this in a PC game when SteamWorks is available. This is often done to harvest private data and profile you, with potential sale and transmission of your private data to third parties. The developers will probably argue that you can trust them, but if they were trustworthy they wouldn't demand you create a third party account. This represents a considerable risk to gamers due to the privacy and security implications of developers that wish to bypass Steam and harvest user data. Remember, sometimes if the product is free, YOU are the product.[/quote] [quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtransaction]Warning: Microtransaction infested browser game![/url][/b] This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop.

I really wish I could like it and it had more activities in early game. Reminds of early days of Monster Warlord, but cut ten times and then slowed down. Getting a single click once in half an hour is diabolical. And that's with "Novice boost". Sht is crazy. Also, if you will be "playing" it, by which I mean idling so much and so rarely that on a deathbed you probably get to access the second zone, do it in a browser from the phone. UI is smooth and responsive there compared to the desktop version. For a mostly text based game having a several second delay for actions is weird. The best way of active progress, free mode, is gatekept by weird design choices and sped players that will go out of their way to camp the starting corner just to fk up the lower levels. Too cringe

Forces user to sign up before accessing the game instead of integrating sign in through steam account.... Honestly only reason I even clicked Yes instead of No for recommending the game is because I got a laugh at their acceptable domains for emails..... @loli.ci..... Lol.

Ruarua is a really relaxing little farming and exploration game that I found easy to settle into. I play as an Explorer in a colorful world where I can slowly collect resources, fight monsters and build up a growing collection of cards. I liked how the game does not demand constant attention, because I can make progress at my own pace while still having enough things to work toward. The exploration and combat are built around two different approaches. I can actively search for monsters and start fights myself, or I can use the more passive exploration option and wait for encounters to appear. I enjoyed having that choice because it lets me decide whether I want a more active session or something that feels closer to an idle game. The card system is probably my favorite feature. Different cards can either generate resources or improve my combat abilities, and combining weaker cards into stronger ones gives me a satisfying reason to keep collecting. I liked seeing my collection slowly become more useful rather than simply filling an inventory. As I become stronger, I can also reach more dangerous areas and discover new characters, stories and challenges. The social side gives Ruar…
