Lone Ruin, spell-based roguelike twin-stick shooter, coming to Switch

Today, publisher Super Rare Games and developer Cuddle Monster Games announced that Lone Ruin is making its way to Switch. The title is on track to launch on January 12, 2023.

Lone Ruin is a spell-based roguelike twin-stick shooter that focuses on replayability. Read a bit more about it below.

Play as an explorer who seeks a mysterious ancient power and venture in a ruined magical city, built atop a source of magic used by olden mages to power and transform themselves.

Dive deeper and deeper, battling your way through twisted creatures, utilizing your very own magic abilities to ultimately reach the center of the Lone Ruin.

Key Features

• A City Corrupted – What once was a buzzy civilization and people living in harmony with the magic surrounding them has long since been driven mad and twisted beyond recognition by the very magic that used to help sustain them. What could have corrupted this city?
• Having heard the legends, you, a gifted spellcasting explorer, arrive at these hostile ruins a millenia later with the goal of seeking this ancient power and finally cleansing the city of the corruption it was consumed by all those years ago. The answer probably lies in the center of Lone Ruin… if you can make it there.
• Outlive the Ruins – Fight your way through blood-pumping battles and more than a whole host of enemies and multiple bosses in several distinct, hellishly vibrant areas. Don’t let the horrifying creatures get the best of you!
• Spells Aplenty – It’s dangerous to go ‘lone, so pick the spell that best fits your play style to survive the hazards of the Lone Ruin. Maximize your destructive magical setup combo through the many upgrades and customization options available as you venture deeper into the ruins via your chosen path.
• Survive the Chaos – Looking for a different challenge? Take on the Survival mode for a timed, wave-based game mode. How long can you survive against the rising difficulty and increasingly tougher foes?

And here’s a trailer:

Lone Ruin will be sold as a digital title through the Switch eShop.
