RUINSMAGUS

What a delightful little VR ARPG. c: OK, so, first and foremost, I played a good six hours of this on HTC's Viveport service (came free with my Reverb G2 'back in the day'), and have only recently picked it back up 'legitimately' on Steam, so I haven't quite caught up to where I was, but I've got a good general gist of how it plays and how the quality has held up that I feel qualified to comment on its quality. Quite frankly, the biggest, most noticeable issue Ruinsmagus has is that its English translation is pretty wonky. The script is pretty rough, grammatically, and it is /most/ noticeable in system text. Not to the degree that I think you would end up confused or misled on how any mechanics work, but enough that it can kind of take you out of the experience, and it does admittedly kind of lend a bad first impression on setting the game apart from what you'd expect out of your usual cheap low-budget 'tech demo' sort of VR game. That being said, you've got a pretty stellar cast behind the dub for the translation! Back in 2023, they released an update that added English VAs, and though I couldn't really place any names to voices beyond 'hey i (vaguely) recognize them from that anime i watched once', they all do a great job. Mechanically, you've got relatively simple, but ultimately satisfying systems to play with. Your right hand fires projectiles, and your left arm holds a shield you can use to block damage (at the cost of shield health, which /does/ regenerate but regenerates /slowly/) or to parry some attacks back. You've got a handful of skills you can assign to two slots that you can use with your grip button, and you can swap through items like health potions, grenades, and buff elixirs. There are a handful of additional mechanics, like a dash and a basic upgrade system for your weapons, but that's about it. Fortunately, with how they're implemented here in VR, it all melds pretty effectively into a fun combat loop that I doubt would hold as well as it would have if it were in a pancake game, but here, it holds up for long enough that I feel confident in saying I'll definitely be going for S ranks on all the missions I didn't nail. Has me very excited for the developer's next game. It's not a standout masterpiece that redefines the VR landscape, but it feels like a solid title that would've come out on any of the sixth gen consoles, and given how many of the current selection of VR games feel really devoid of that sort of substantive experience, it makes this game really endearing to me.

I have a MetaQuest 3 and didn't check the reviews first... My mistake! I mainly use my quest for exercise and only got this game because it was 1. On sale, and 2. I was given a steam gift card for Christmas. I have no desire to buy a $25 app on my quest just to make one game (that I haven't even tried yet) work. I Have already requested a refund. If you do not already have the paid virtual desktop app on your quest 3 or already know you love the game and are willing to get that app, then do buy this game. This has been a known problem for at least 3 years and it still isn't fixed.

Для vr очень неплохо. Полноценный аниме проект на 8-9 часов для шлема с сюжетом - не частое явление, так что я остался доволен. По геймплею - ходим по однообразным подземельям, стреляем по врагам магией, смотрим сюжет. С прохождением миссий открываются новые магические способности. Есть небольшая прокачка снаряжения, но совсем маленькая. Буквально по два уровня прокачки на два предмета. В целом звучит не очень густо, но хватает для того чтобы было чем заняться во время прохождения. В игре имеется хаб, где можно походить и пообщаться с npc. Из грустного - NPC в хабе имеют определенный набор реплик, который рандомно проигрывается и никак не связан с происходящим в сюжете. Если решитесь играть - Берите длс. В игре без длс почти некуда тратить деньги и они бесполезно копятся, а в длс открывается новая хаб локация с ателье, где нашего компаньона можно приодеть. Очень разбавляет однообразный игровой процесс. Правда после прохождение всех миссий вам не хватит денег на последний дорогой костюм (если вы, как и я, будете скупать все костюмы), и грустно что для заработка денег игра предлагает только повторное прохождение миссий. В двойне странно то, что в конце игры открывается режим бесконечного рогалика на арене, в котором ты борешься за место в таблице лидеров, но денег с режима не дают. Что еще удивило, в игре иногда будут полноценные боевые напарники. Мне очень этого не хватало первую половину игры, а когда они появились - это было круто. Не так одиноко ходить по руинам стало. Жаль что они появляются только по сюжету пару раз, но их так же можно призывать в рогалике. В целом - добротная штука. Точно не стоит покупки VR шлема, но если он есть - почему-бы не поиграть? Игра не переведена на английский, но он в игре не очень сложный. Если есть проблемы с ним, используйте OVR Overlay Translator. Отличная программа, которой я сам пользуюсь. Поможет переводить незнакомые слова прямо в шлеме.

(Played on a Quest 3 via SteamVR) I've had this wishlisted for a while but hadn't picked it up yet. After I saw the Fiona announcement and noticed it was on sale, it seemed like a good time to finally play it. RUINSMAGUS feels pretty rough and unpolished in some areas. I had some frustrations particularly with the gameplay, but really enjoyed the story and music. It overall exceeded my expectations. I was expecting a much shorter experience from it for being a VR title, but it has a good length and a complete story to tell from start to finish, I felt a LOT of heart from it in the world building and characters. It gave me a sense of nostalgia that some older games did (and rarely some new games do) where a world feels unexpectedly immersive despite having a minimal amount of areas you visit. It left me wanting more. I look forward to their next title. (I recommend playing with the DLC. The costumes are cute and it adds a good progression aspect to the game with having something to save your currency for.)

no funciona, sale un mensaje de error en japones y ingles diciendo que conecte steam VR , y esta conectado, una pena que el juego no funcione (solo me pasa con el) , lamentablemente tengo que darle reseña negativa tambien por que no esta traducido al español

100%ed in ~12 hours, a very enjoyable experience. Combat is smooth and intuitive (mostly point and shoot, but the movement and aiming changes dramatically with what spells and equipment you select). Environmental detailing is a bit lacking in certain areas, as the "lobby" area is a large flat area with objects and invisible walls around the perimeter, but there are plenty of NPCs to bring life to it, and the other areas are certainly quite cozy. The animations for the heroine specifically were very well done. The DLC also was a pleasant challenge with a great reward, and was so well integrated that I didn't even realize I was doing DLC content until the end. Overall a very immersive fantasy experience, would def be isekaied here.

經典jrpg，boss戰和關鍵劇情的演出在VR玩法下配合bgm和全語音對話非常有沉浸感，前提是多少得能看懂點英文或日文。玩法有些貧瘠，小怪一堆換皮，好在副本比較短，基本能在感到無聊前進劇情或boss戰。另外也沒有jrpg那樣的數值養成，雖然魔法很多，但困難難度下都一樣的刮痧。
