The “Metroidvania” subgenre is really interesting. It derives its name from two iconic franchises because it combines the deep 2D exploration of Metroid, with the RPG elements of Castlevania. It’s a very entertaining type of game and one that has thrived in the indie gaming scene. But of course, as more and more titles of this style emerged, you need to do something unique and interesting to stand out. That’s what Altari Games and DANGEN Entertainment did when they released Lost Ruins in 2021. Now, this great game is being given away for free, and you can’t miss it.
Enjoy this solid Metroidvania without paying a single penny
Lost Ruins is a Metroidvania, or rather, a 2D exploration & action game, which was released in 2021 and has received quite a positive reception since then. Now, it’s being given away for free through the GOG platform. It will only last for a few days (Right now there are 39 hours left for this giveaway to end) so you should take advantage of this opportunity right now. If you are interested, you can access the official page through the following link.
If you still have your doubts and want to know more about Lost Ruins, you should know that this Metroidvania stands out among the genre thanks to its cast of characters, which is mostly made up of adorable anime-style girls. From its main character, to its enemies and even the biggest bosses. But don’t worry, this is not an H video game or anything like that, but it takes advantage of this element to build a cute and pleasant aesthetic. So if you like waifus, this video game is perfect for you.
Lost Ruins tells the story of a girl who one day wakes up in a subway labyrinth with no memory of her past, so she must start exploring the place with the help of her magical guide, Beatrice, while finding important items, overcoming obstacles and defeating terrifying enemies, including some impressive bosses. If you are familiar with the Metroidvania genre, you already know very well what to expect from a title like this. And you won’t be disappointed, because Lost Ruins is quite entertaining and enthralling.
Also worth mentioning is the very high quality of Lost Ruins’ presentation. The soundtrack is very good, as it’s relaxing when you’re exploring, but dynamic when you’re fighting, and the graphics are truly impressive, created with some of the most beautiful sprites ever seen in a Metroidvania. So, if you’re still interested in trying it, what are you waiting for, go to GOG and add Lost Ruins to your catalog before it’s too late!
