There’s no basic attribute enhancements since the game doesn’t use a character leveling system. The player can make use of two slots for weapons and two more for spells. There is no dash or run button or any other manner of maneuvering besides a simple jump and an evading roll. The Recommended difficulty is, well, recommendable since harder modes will lock out some gameplay features and are best reserved for a second or third run.ĭifferently from most traditional metroidvanias, the game’s pacing is deliberately slow.
Right off the bat, players can choose between five different types of difficulty. GameplayĪt first glance, Lost Ruins plays like your typical 2D metroidvania with players navigating through a 2D side scrolling environment while battling enemies, collecting items and solving some simple puzzles to advance. Even then, it’s not enough to hold my attention. There are a couple of different endings and even a bonus mode that expands on the game’s lore and its characters. Regardless, the story is pretty barebones with dialogues that try and fail to be funny or interesting. Then, there are the so-called followers of the Dark Lady which at first glance are just other lost schoolgirls but with some loose screws. Other NPCs will ask for the heroine’s assistance which will trigger some more dialogues. This is a very overused trope in anime known as “ isekai.” After wandering for a bit, the protagonist encounters a witch that informs the girl that she was summoned by some kind of cult to serve as sacrifice for the revival of the “Dark Lady.” The heroine’s only chance at surviving – and possibly getting back to her own world – is to defeat the members of this supposed cult so the spell can be undone.Īlong her journey the nameless girl will encounter all sorts of messages left behind by other not so fortunate schoolgirls that give a bit more of insight on what kind of mess she got herself into. Lost Ruins story begins when an amnesiac schoolgirl awakens inside a dungeon located in what appears to be another world.
