Shadows of the Ruins

"We live in a dangerous world. Although the Evil Empire fell more than a century ago, the Age of Light that was promised to us never arrived. Instead, we live in absolute misery... We are poor, the soil is completely dead and there are no animals left to hunt either. It's over... We won't survive the next winter. There is only one alternative left: west of the village, there are Ruins from the old empire. According to the elders, inside lies a formidable treasure, guarded by traps, terrifying monsters and the Shadows of the empire's fallen army... But, if I find it, we won't starve... EVER AGAIN!!" Shadows of the Ruins is a 2D Roguelike-Survivor videogame developed by InTheNight Games indie studio. The game experience combines exploration, fast-paced combat, and resource management in a hostile and dynamic environment.
