Roguelike deckbuilder Into the Restless Ruins announced for Nintendo Switch

Into the Restless Ruins will be released on various consoles including Nintendo Switch, publisher Wales Interactive and developer Ant Workshop shared today. It’s due out this spring with a specific release date to follow.

Into the Restless Ruins is a roguelike deckbuilder with auto-battles in which players create the dungeon they fight through. This is done through cards as they make up the rooms and corridors.

You can find more details in the following overview:

Scottish legend tells that those whose hearts desire can’t be met by earthly means should seek the Harvest Maiden. In return for their toil she will satisfy their craving. After years chasing rumors and false leads you found the ruin entrance, and the maiden appeared to you. Finally, your wish…

Into the Restless Ruins is a roguelike deckbuilder. Use your deck of cards, representing rooms and corridors, to grow the labyrinth of the ruins. Then auto-battle your way through them, harvesting as much Glimour as you can from the cursed residents before darkness overcomes your torch.

Earn favours from the Harvest Maiden, find Relics to trade with the Hen Wife, Wulver and other characters from Scottish folk lore to upgrade and curate your deck, and hope you are strong enough to face The Warden when you can finally reach it.

Key Features

• Dynamic Deck and Dungeon Building. Discover a large variety of rooms and corridors, and work out the best ways to use them to beat the ruins. Earn favours with The Maiden to be blessed with new cards, and interact with characters you find in the ruins to modify your deck further.
• Discover Room Synergies. Rooms aren’t just big square corridors, they have uses. Think hard about where you place campfires, armouries, portals, graveyards, libraries, and dozens more, as each will change your approach to the harvest.
• Huge Replayability. Because you’re building the ruins, each run is unique with a different layout, new challenges to overcome, and new shortcuts to use. Discover ghostly echoes trapped in the ruins and decide their fate, be blessed with dozens of passive Charms, and discover new weaponry. And after you’ve defeated The Warden once, try again with new rule-changing modifiers, in new level layouts, and unlock new cards to your drop pool.
• Uncover a unique world of Scottish folklore, legends and creatures.
