Greetings, Dwarves! Welcome to the Regions of Ruin community! Let's start with a little about the game, and the quest you're about to undertake a couple of weeks from now. Your people are enslaved, captured by invading goblins and orcs, and you must rescue them from captivity. Once freed, your dwarven brothers will join your newly founded settlement, and will help you build a thriving community. You will be tasked with gathering resources, managing workers, defeating foes, and exploring the sprawling continent. We’re very excited to be here on Steam, and to be able to update everyone on how the game is doing. Stephen, our lone game dev wizard, has been updating at breakneck speed, and shows no signs of slowing down. Here are just a few of the recent highlights:

• Balance changes and fixes
• Improvements to AI and combat
• Loads of bug fixes
• Text and UI improvements
• Additional areas to explore
• New enemies
• New area types
• Can now break boxes and chests by hitting them instead of interacting

As you can see, the game is coming along rapidly even before our launch on Steam Early Access on October 5th. We’re taking extensive feedback from our testers and the community, and smashing bugs left and right. The game is rapidly approaching the state where core gameplay is solid and in place, and we can move on to to adding plenty of new content to delve into. Our most recent update to the game brought 10 new hand-crafted area maps to explore, and there is much more to come! You can wishlist the game on Steam here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/680360/Regions_Of_Ruin/ Be sure to watch us here, and across our social channels, as launch approaches, and if you want to hang out and meet the team, we’re always available on our Discord to answer questions! Additionally, we've started a new Facebook Group so that our awesome community can continue to grow! We hope to see everyone there and get to know you all!

Ever wonder what would happen if Kingdom met a broad, skill based open world RPG? Welcom to Regions of Ruin.

Regions of Ruin is a 2D side-scrolling RPG with town-building where you are introduced to an open world that progressively challenges your hero and settlement the further you delve into the vast continent.

You will discover a foreboding land ravaged by hundreds of years of hardship. Where, kingdoms have risen and fallen, settlements have been laid to waste and overrun by warring groups, and great mysteries lay hidden and waiting to be unearthed - assuming you can defeat their jealous guardians.


Main Features include:

• Styled combat system with stats and levelling
• Skill tree to focus your fighting style
• Extensive loot and rare items to discover
• Forge your own equipment or smelt it for resources
