Games worth discovering
Ruins Story is a fun action shooter that’s tougher than it looks
2K View2023-08-01
If you’re a fan of games where you primarily hug the walls, dodge, and attack your opponents then Ruins Story is probably the game for you. It kinda reminded me of games like Madness Endless, but where Madness Endless had simple-to-learn controls, playing through Ruins Story on my iPhone was pretty complex.
The opening tutorials are pretty dialogue heavy, and how everything is described didn’t make much sense to me. When combined with the multiple weapons, combat modes, and skill trees, it was all a jumble.
That being said, there’s a lot to love about Ruins Story. The narrative of Ruins Story revolves around time travel, and as a fan of sci-fi, I was digging the theme. The 2D graphics were also pretty good, and combined with the creative maps, it’s easy to classify Ruins Story as a fun game.
But with so many 2D shooters on the market, if you’re looking for something more casual and with less of a learning curve, you should look to another title. Ruins Story is definitely for those willing to invest the time and effort to figure out the controls and are probably familiar with similar games. Overall, it was worth a try for me for the uniqueness of the story and fun gameplay, but definitely one of the more complex shooters I’ve played on my phone.

Ruins Story Was More Confusing Than Fun For Me...
Ruins Story is a 2D action shooter played in a vertical format. You will move aim and shoot at high speeds. There are 2 different weapons for attacking which are done by either tapping or sliding your finger. The game is supposed to be easy to play with simple controls, but I found it difficult. The tutorial I felt was poorly done because I was often confused about what I was even supposed to do or what was going on. At one point I didn't even know that I was in the menu to select my next mission. The UI of the game is just horrible, and you often have no idea where things are or what things do.
