About Rune Ark
The kingdom stands on the brink of ruin. Whispers of doom echo through the streets, yet no one knows the truth. Beneath the castle, in the depths long consigned to oblivion, something stirs.

You play as a young squire, eager to prove your worth.

Every battle is a test of both skill and will. Match tiles to unleash ancient powers, unravel hidden mysteries, and carve your path through the shifting depths.

I really tried... but I can't recommend this game. The menu's are rough, there's no information on what and how you can craft. I only figured out how to sell after seeing the store page pre-recording which also showed how to access team members abilities. It's hard to know what equipment you should be using. The battles are not fun and engaging... especially when you get to a very slow enemy and you have to repeat the same thing over and over. Do I think it had potential? Yes, I did want to understand the various paths that would explain the King, Queen, Alchemist, and even the father since there are hints, but the story and dialog are not great overall (there's a lot of bugs in the dialog as well). There's enough reasons to look elsewhere.9 found this helpful
The game is addictive because match-3 is addictive. The problem is that it's still full of bugs. If this was an early access game, I'd give it a positive review; but, despite my many hours of play, I can't recommend it as a full game. There are things that get highlighted when you hover over them, but then clicking on them does nothing. There are clues that it seems you should be able to follow up on--but then, you aren't permitted. If you're on a quest, there's no way to check a journal to see what the quest requires. There are just so many holes and I see no indication that they're going to be addressed any time soon. If and when they are, I'll update my review.5 found this helpful
Didn't get past the tutorial. Some of the most painfully horrible writing I've ever seen in a game, and good god is there a lot of it. Instant refund for any games that make you a captive audience to Vorgon fantasy fiction.5 found this helpful
Can't recommend it now but i do think it can be great. A lot of bugs to fix. Some QOL to add. I don't really know the story since it's bugged.3 found this helpful
I really like what little I played but so so many bugs prevented me from even understanding what was going on
Really unbalanced. You can easily get items to make enemies do 0 dmg. Meny enemies heal from spells making spells pointless. Without high str you have no shot killing mid-late enemies.
