Weapons have different ranges, attack power and speed which will really influence how you play and can offer their own passive buffs and debuffs. You can have two weapons equipped at once, two spells and, initially at least, one piece of equipment which will give you different passive bonuses. Artefacts are passive buffs that automatically apply and usually drop from bosses but the rest come in a wide variety that can really change up your playstyle. These come in the form of weapons, magic, equipment and artefacts. In each area you can get new equipment whether by finding it or buying it from venders.
A Metroidvania style map draws in as you explore and you can teleport between set areas once you’ve found them but this isn’t a true Metroidvania in that you won’t be unlocking powers to access new areas but there is a sense of exploration with some secret areas and doors locked behind puzzles or requiring keys. You run around a 2D world, doing a bit of jumping, killing enemies who get in your way and then defeating a boss at the end of each section.
The gameplay is where Lost Ruins will either grab or lose you. There is a bit of chatting as you encounter bosses and NPCs but the story isn’t the draw here, though there are multiple endings. You encounter Beatrice shortly afterwards who tells you to defeat followers of the Dark Lady to get your memory back whilst also stopping them from summoning the big bad in the process. You play as a girl simply known as Heroine, who wakes in a dungeon with no memory. The pixel graphics and school girl protagonist might lead you to believe that this is a cutesy platformer but that is not the case. It’s been out on PC for some time but Lost Ruins now lands on PS4.
