Enemies drop items sometimes and you can find items in the environment that restore these values, but they seem to be few and far between. Early on this feels somewhat daunting because you have no reliable source to restore your HP and MP. You also have a mind point meter that depletes when casting spells, and of course you have hit points, so you have to manage all of your resources to make sure you stay alive and can defeat what’s ahead of you. Many of the items you find are one-use items. I found that this really took me out of the action, and slowed the pace of the game down too much. In order for most players to succeed you have to frequently switch your gear around to maximize your damage and take advantage of the environment and enemies’ weaknesses. All of this interaction takes what would be an average combat system and elevates it to the next level.
You learn this early on, but unfortunately the game never really comes back to it. Interestingly you can also use fire to burn away certain substances, such as poison. Of course, the game also has flammable surfaces that will ignite when fire comes in contact, this includes torches and other light sources if you knock them over. If any of the elements besides fire comes into contact with water then the effect spreads throughout the water damaging anything touching the water, including you. The spells and some of the items have elemental properties (ice, fire, lightning, poison) and these can interact with the environment in a number of ways. There is also a long list of spells that you can acquire. In addition to melee weapons, the game presents you with a number of ranged weapons such as bows and throwable items.
There is a large assortment of weapons you can use, such as swords, daggers, axes, and even household items like a plunger and a broom. The game refers to itself as survival because of its combat and the systems surrounding it. In this last mode, if you die it’s game over. There is also an easy setting that eases the gameplay with a constantly regenerating health bar, and there is a hard mode, veteran, which I haven’t tried yet, as well as a Hardcore mode. I went with the recommended difficulty (that’s what it’s called, “recommended”), which I suppose is equivalent to other games’ normal setting since it was right in the middle. To help manage this you are offered a few choices when it comes to difficulty. There is not any crafting and you don’t have to manage your food and drink stats, but the game is difficult. Now that I’ve played it I know that it isn’t really a survival game in the typical sense. Once I started up the game, before I got to any actual gameplay, I was met with a screen warning me that Lost Ruins is a survival-style game and that it can be difficult. Despite wishing for the game to come to my platform of choice, I didn’t actually know anything about it so I was eager to dive in and find out if the game was worth the wait. Well, that release is finally here, Lost Ruins is now available on Xbox and I was lucky enough to get a copy for review. Watching trailers of the game last year I saw that the game was a 2D action-adventure game that looked like the Metroidvania games I love so much, so it should be no surprise that I was hoping for an eventual Xbox release. The game features pixel art graphics and despite so many games using that style of art, the artwork here gives the game its own unique look. I’ve enjoyed the games from Dangen’s catalog that I’ve played in the past and Lost Ruins looked similar to those. Altari Games developed the game and Dangen published it.

Lost Ruins was released on PC last year, and I have to say I was a little jealous.
