Lone Ruin
LONE RUIN launches January 12, 2023! 👁️
Yes, it's finally coming!! And it's so, so close! 😂
Venture into an old, magical ruin to seek an ancient power in this highly replayable roguelike twin-stick shooter, from the creator of Hell is Other Demons. Optimise spells and build ultimate combos to defeat twisted monstrosities in this hellishly vibrant, highly addictive action game.
LONE RUIN will be the 2nd release under Super Rare's new Originals publishing label, following the launch of the beloved action-platformer Grapple Dog earlier this year.
A personal THANK YOU to everyone that has supported LONE RUIN during its development! The game is now finished and we can't wait for you to playyyy! ✨
Oh, and if you haven't already, please drop the game a wishlist - the almighty algorithm gods really, really like it when you do and it helps a lot! 💜
Catch you on January 12th then?
