Critic Reviews for Ruinverse
KEMCO is back at it again with Ruinverse, a turn-based strategy RPG. Released initially for mobile devices, the Xbox One port is littered with mechanics that fit best for play on the go and make for a speedier adventure for the modern player.
Ruinverse is a 2D RPG with turn-based combat, and a strong story throughout. Learn more about the magical world the characters reside in, and progress through several unique chapters. Whilst the story is strong, the gameplay falls a bit short, and so overall this game is rather ordinary.
The amount of customisation that players can use to create the best team that suits their playstyle combined with a captivating story, highly detailed environments, and lovable characters make Ruinverse undoubtedly one of KEMCO's finest RPGs. The main story will take around twenty hours to complete, with dozens more hours needed to complete all the side quests, which are optional, but reveal more about the characters, and provide more valuable items. The multiple endings make completing such side-quests more important if the best ending is to be achieved, although what constitutes such an ending will be down to player perspective. Skilfully written, with an even balance of humour and gravitas, Ruinverse belongs in every RPG fan's collection.
Ruinverse is bursting with a charming cast of characters in an easy-to-follow story and its campaign is filled with old-school RPG fun. The end result is a rewarding albeit sometimes disappointingly unchallenging adventure that you'll ultimately be glad you went on.
