RUINER is a fast top-down action shooter set in 2091 in Rengkok, a decaying cyberpunk city. You play a silent, masked man who is guided by a mysterious hacker as he fights through the city's corrupt system to rescue his kidnapped brother. Combat mixes guns, melee weapons, dashes and a shield, and it moves quickly.
It is a single-player game from the Polish studio Reikon Games, published by Devolver Digital, with violent, stylish combat and a short, linear campaign. It suits players who like twitchy arena fights, striking neon visuals and a challenge that rewards quick reactions and learning enemy patterns.
