Rubinite

This is one of the rare games I've actually beaten to 100%. The bosses struck the perfect balance—tough and fun, but never cheap. Definitely worth every penny.

Rubinite is by far the best new game I've played this year. The combat is tight and satisfying while giving a good challenge which never felt insurmountable, The narrative is interesting enough to keep me engaged and particularly the narrative decision leading into the second half of the game was both unexpected and honestly incredible. While this is going to sound incredibly unspecific due to me not wanting to spoil it, the execution of the second half of the narrative is something you would only see in an indie game, and while I can see the mechanical changes making some people upset, I think it was the correct decision as the second half of the game made for some of the most fun combat I've experienced in a while. Also the music and sound design was great and really felt like you were fighting these monsters that were made of flesh and blood. If anyone is afraid of a difficulty spike going into the second half of the game, you get two cheat death talismans which make it significantly easier. I did the entire second half with one cheat death talisman and thought the difficulty was honestly perfect at that point. So I would recommend Rubinite to anyone who wants a fun boss-gauntlet style game.

Very good game , deff worth the struggle to reach the ending. The story was nice and the music was good. Only 2 issues i had with this game is how not looking at a enemy and dodging changes the behaviour of the game, making the dodge timing different and the snake boss is fustrating because he waste your time while having really unfair mechanics. Ive never played a game that depanded so much of the player to complete it but it was really fun. 9.5/10 , deff a good game. -Delano

Gameplay: Love the mechanic of the strikes, and the combat is simple but flavorful. Story: Enjoyable and quite dark. Really nice of how flashbacks are show, "don't tell". Design: Its pixel-art :p . The bosses and stages are really well made. The character sprites have a lot of personality in them. Sound/Music: Not much of an expert but is good. Not too crazy. Overall: If you enjoy doing boss rush, pixel-art style and like to give it soul-like difficulty, Go try the demo, it offers you 2 bosses to fight.

Rubinite has my highest recommendation for being brave enough to eliminate everything but the bosses in a sometimes charming and frequently horrifying Bloodborne-esque bloodbath of an action RPG. The "focus" mechanic where you charge up a devastating slash by holding a trigger while targeting an enemy (or perfectly dodging enemy attacks while you glare at them) is both a fresh, exciting way to dish out damage and a dopamine rush every time it lands, all the way up to the final boss. Special shoutout to pixel art that belongs in a museum and some awe-inspiring music (especially the credits song)

amazing and it's harder that I though

Amaizing game. Nice Story. Good battle system. Great style. Hard AF.
