Best I can tell, as stated in the intro, no one here outside of perhaps the witch you meet (who is more clothed than the rest) is close to out of their teens. It is the standard anime trope of a normal human being transported into a fantastical world with some amnesia thrown on top and little to no clothing for any ladies involved. You’ll start viciously killing goblins before you meet up with a witch who helps you on your task to stop the summoning of the “Dark Lady”. Her memory is gone and her stomach is always showing no matter what angle she’s shown from. This is a pretty typical 2D action platformer with areas gated progression-wise by items you’ll find throughout your playthrough. It is certainly not a “survival” game as defined by the west.

Ice magic will freeze bodies of water, making them dangerously cold. Flammable liquids will be set ablaze when in contact with lit lanterns. Elements within the world react with other elements. Make Use of the Environment – As players explore the depths of Lost Ruin’s dungeons, they will find that everything around them might bring about death-or they can also use the environment to their advantage.Finding the right combination of accessories for the right encounter creates strategic options for the adventure. ![]() Accessories are unique pieces of equipment with all manner of effects-one accessory might protect you against fire, while another might heal you when in water. Choose Your Equipment – The world of Lost Ruins is a dangerous one and being armed to the teeth with awesome weaponry is sometimes not enough.Players can assign slots and choose what works best for their playstyle and approach. Electrify monsters in water, freeze bosses, or heal yourself when in danger. Master Spells – For those with an affinity for magic, Lost Ruins allows players to cast a wide variety of spells through wands, tonics, and scrolls.Players must arm themselves with a variety of swords, axes and other assorted medieval weaponry, and hack monsters to pieces. ![]() Slash away at enemies up close, burn them to a crisp with magic, or fire a bow from afar and even deflect their projectiles back at them.
