Honestly great game. I'm not normally a fan of turn-based combat games but the unique feel and design of this game really brings it to life for me. Lots of interesting challenges and features that breathes some life into a genre that seems to have been left behind most modern games. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something new!

An awesome game that really lets you dive deep into its mechanics, with so so many builds to explore. Played and beat it multiple times, but there's always something new to tinker with when playing and that's what makes me love it

10/10

Fun game!!

Awesome turn based combat that defs kicked my butt a few times. Really enjoyed exploring the best team to bring with me to each fight and the original music was a bonus! Feels nostalgic and fresh at the same time.

Had a great time and the price was right!

Amazing game. Raiders of ruin is an extremely fun game that perfectly encapsulates the feeling of an old school RPG. I personally enjoy harder games and this game is just that. The bosses are very difficult, so when you finally defeat them it's very rewarding. The game has great balance and a very fun gameplay loop. There are so many bosses and enemies to fight that it never gets old!

I finished the game and all optional bosses. Overall very enjoyable and satisfying game. I played purely for the gameplay, i just skipped through the dialogue to be honest.

It feels amazing to finnally overcome a boss when at first it seemed impossible.

If you enjoy heavy strategy turn based RPG's, you will love this one.

Hope to see more unique games like this from the developer!

If you enjoy turn-based JRPG combat, highly specialized preset classes, carefully designed boss battles, and unlimited reclasses, then this is a boss rush made for you. Raiders of Ruin is a work of love whose benign retro graphics belie a well-crafted challenge.

I don't normally play tactical RPGs, but this game - this game I am obsessed with. My partner will ask me to join her in bed, and I say, sure honey, just give me two minutes to beat this siren and her team of dastardly fish. Two hours later, once I've tried several team combinations and a few strategies and still haven't beaten said siren and her team of dastardly fish, I'll roll into bed and she'll ask if I won, I'll say no but that I honestly had fun.

Each level and boss is a genuine pleasure to figure out the best way to beat. I love reading the descriptions on the weapons and armour, as the creator clearly had fun writing them. The music is pleasurable to listen to, and I adore the character design, especially for the rogue.

Fantastic game.

The boss fights are well designed, and will often force you to rethink which classes you're using, to deal with specific mechanics. Combat has a low amount of randomness and is very satisfying.

Some critiques...
- There's no visual customization for your characters at all. It ruins the suspension of disbelief a bit when changing classes and suddenly your characters look entirely different.
- The trash fights between bosses are pretty much pointless when you get to midgame. The exp and gold they give are pitiful. There's a certain class unlock that allows you to destroy them all in 1-2 rounds, though, so at least they don't waste much time.
- I would have loved to see some sort of skill tree per class.

Overall 9/10 would play an expansion, or maybe I'll try a locked-classes challenge run.
