About Ruins To Fortress
Ruins To Fortress is a 2D survival game where you gather resources, build and defend fortified bases, and battle other players and environmental threats on a dangerous island. Raid enemy settlements with explosives, craft advanced gear, and team up with clans to dominate the landscape in intense PvP and PvE combat.
Welcome to Ruins To Fortress, a thrilling 2D survival game currently in development that puts you in a world of base-building and intense PVP combat. Prepare to embark on a journey as you navigate a harsh, abandoned island teeming with danger and opportunity. Gather resources, construct shelters, cultivate plants, and forge tools and weapons to survive. Feel free to install the separate dedicated server or host the game yourself. Help us stress test the servers as we raise the maximum capacities during Early Access.
Gameplay
Survival Mechanics: Players start naked, armed only with a club on an island, and must gather basic resources like wood, stone, and food to survive. Unlike other survival games, food is not strictly necessary for survival but provides health benefits.
Crafting: Ruins To Fortress offers an extensive crafting system, allowing players to create a wide range of items, from simple tools and weapons to advanced technologies. Resources like metal, cloth, and animal hides are used to craft equipment that facilitates survival.
Base Building: Base building is a central aspect of the game. Players can construct shelters to protect themselves from other players, NPCs, and animals. These bases can be attacked and looted by other players, making the game particularly exciting and competitive.
Raiding: Another characteristic element of Ruins To Fortress is the raiding of other players' bases. By using explosives and other tools, players can breach enemy bases to steal resources and equipment.
PvP (Player vs. Player): Ruins To Fortress is known for its intense PvP elements. Players can attack each other at any time, making the game a constant challenge. Alliances and rivalries between players or clans strongly shape the gameplay experience.
PvE (Player vs. Environment): Ruins To Fortress already includes numerous PvE elements to offer a non-competitive gaming experience. These PvE elements are planned to be significantly expanded and enhanced over the course of Early Access.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Ruins To Fortress receives praise for its beautiful pixel art style, solid gameplay mechanics, and engaging survival elements like day-night cycles and building physics, though players note a steep learning curve and lack of guidance that can make discovery frustrating. Common complaints include the game not pausing during solo play, unclear UI for crafting and cooking processes, and some balancing issues with enemy mechanics, but most who push past the initial confusion find it enjoyable and worth playing.
this game is absolutely beautiful plays good an has good concept.1 found this helpful
Top 10 underrated games1 found this helpful
Its a bit of a learning curve, for how all the controls & how buildings do work. but its pretty fun after.. survival aspect day night cycles, Building physics and getting around system is pretty neat. Its worth checking out..
Real fun game. I love pixel games. I haven't played long, but so far so good.
OK! so on a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a solid 8. I had a few nitpicks about it but feel that the art style and general game play is actually pretty nice. My only complaints are as follows. 1- the game doesn't pause when you pause it because it's considered a 'server' even if solo. 2- there is very little guiding when it comes to certain things which can make the game play more difficult. It took me about 15 minutes to find the tool crafting menu. 3- There are drones that fly around and don't seem affected by the bow and arrow? 4- there is ZERO indication in the cooking and other processes (outside crafting) on how long is left. It also doesn't include recipes in the fire which means players might not know what they can and cannot smelt. I think the game itself is pretty cool once you figure it all out but it is also early access so please remember that before playing.
The game is good, but it needs more polish.
