Anybody here ever play Ruin?
« on: July 09, 2006, 10:14:00 PM »
It's supposed to be an action/RPG, but I've never been able to get out of the first town, to even see how the game plays.  It looks like it might play like Legend of Xanadu, but I could be wrong.  Anybody?

It looks neat. I'd love to try this game out. Is it super rare/expensive?  :lol:

Never played it. I'm pretty sure I don't own it... the cover kind of reminded me of another title (Brandish? Aurelius? etc.)

But when I saw the screenshots I knew I never played it.

Hmm, it looks pretty generic. Just like any other RPG nobody's ever heard about (Neugier, anyone?). This game can't be very good.  :roll:

Actually, I played this game fairly recently.   Pretty neat, but I didn't play it much after the first town.

Basically, there are two friends as main characters, a boy and a girl.  While cleaning up the house, they find some old treasure map and set off on adventure.  At least that's what I got from it.  :)  Of course there's some back story about some ancient battle between good and evil

From the pics, the game has an overhead view and the action part plays somewhat like Ys... except you actually have an attack button.  IIRC, you play with either character while the other is controlled by the AI.  Not sure if you can play 2 human players though.

It's an interesting game from what I played (very little).  I made it to another town of some sort but that's about it.  

Oh, and to get out of the first town, you have to go to the lower left corner of town.  It's actually a small walkway behind a building.  In the corner, there's a crate.  Then you press I or II (whatever the action button is) and you leave town.  Of course you have to do some stuff before you can leave but I don't exactly remember what.  I think you have to visit the town elder or something.

Kaminari over at the ME boards replied to my thread there, he's actually beaten it, & said it's a nice but short RPG.  Here's the link to what he said about it http://forums.magicengine.com/en/viewtopic.php?p=10615#10615

I haven't really heard much of this game before, I only briefly recall seeing a screenshot for it. Anyway, thanks for reminding me of this game because it looks interesting and neat.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I just got this one and popped it in. With the help of these walkthroughs Ive gone through a couple parts and it's quite nice so far.

The action scenes are cool but the menu screens are taking a bit of trial and error to get through.
Anyone play this recently?

Yea I beat that a few months ago.   It's pretty awesome.    The presentation is excellent.

I think I'll pick this up finally!  Apparently, if my long lost post above is to be believed, I was interested in this game in 2006.

Punkic, post a picture of the menu screens and I'll translate them for you.

Awesome grahf! I've actually come a long way in the game thanks to a playthrough I found on nicovideo that helped me figure out the menus. I am actually stuck on a boss though and I think this menu which I cant completely figure out will help me. I believe this changes how the other characters attack or heal and use magic but I'm not sure. I appreciate it if you can help me out though! The top row of the bottom screen is their names but along the left hand side If I knew what that said that'd help me a bunch.
