What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Ruins to Fortress is an indie passion project created by a two-person team, Simon and Markus. Since it's a multiplayer game with lots of features and items, there’s a significant amount of work involved. We're launching in Early Access to get help from the community in testing the multiplayer and ensuring everything works smoothly. Feel free to install the separate dedicated server or host the game yourself. Help us stress test the servers as we raise the maximum capacities. Your feedback will help us improve the game as we continue to develop it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Ruins to Fortress will be in Early Access until our vision for the game is complete. We have many plans, like adding new terrains, underground tunnels, more PvE/PvP content, and more items. We want everything to be polished, so it will take some time before we leave Early Access.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of Ruins to Fortress will expand on what’s available in Early Access. We plan to add more terrains, introduce underground exploration with tunnels and bunkers, and include more PvE/PvP content. There will also be a wider variety of items and improved game systems based on player feedback during Early Access. The final version will be a more complete and polished experience, with all our planned features fully realized.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The foundation of Ruins to Fortress is complete, and we are mainly focused on adding new items, improving gameplay loops, and refining mechanics. There may still be some bugs in multiplayer, but after releasing a demo, we were able to fix and polish a lot based on what we learned from it. Players can host games themselves, and a dedicated server is available for running the game 24/7.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Ruins to Fortress will be free to play throughout Early Access and will remain free after its full release. As an indie game studio, releasing a multiplayer game is a significant challenge. We’re not just competing with other small studios but also with major companies producing massive titles. Many of these large multiplayer games are free but make their profits through costly skins, pay-to-win mechanics, unnecessary in-game currencies, and endless battle passes.

We get it—we dislike those systems as much as you do, and yet we often get drawn into them too. That’s why we've chosen a different approach: one that we hope you'll find appealing while still helping us cover development costs.

We’ll offer a single, optional DLC that will receive ongoing updates with fresh content like skins, backwall tiles, and more. This will be the only DLC we ever release for the game. Additionally, some skins will be available for separate purchase, but there will never be pay-to-win content, in-game currencies, or similar monetization systems.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We encourage the community to give feedback through Steam discussions, run their own dedicated servers or self hosted games and join our Discord for more direct communication. Your input will help us improve Ruins to Fortress as we continue developing and adding new features.”

Ruins To Fortress - A 2D survival game focusing on base building and PvP/PvE gameplay.
Welcome to Ruins To Fortress, a thrilling 2D survival game currently in development that puts you in a world of base-building and intense PVP combat. Prepare to embark on a journey as you navigate a harsh, abandoned island teeming with danger and opportunity. Gather resources, construct shelters, cultivate plants, and forge tools and weapons to survive. Feel free to install the separate dedicated server or host the game yourself. Help us stress test the servers as we raise the maximum capacities during Early Access.

Gameplay


Survival Mechanics: Players start naked, armed only with a club on an island, and must gather basic resources like wood, stone, and food to survive. Unlike other survival games, food is not strictly necessary for survival but provides health benefits.

Crafting: Ruins To Fortress offers an extensive crafting system, allowing players to create a wide range of items, from simple tools and weapons to advanced technologies. Resources like metal, cloth, and animal hides are used to craft equipment that facilitates survival.

Base Building: Base building is a central aspect of the game. Players can construct shelters to protect themselves from other players, NPCs, and animals. These bases can be attacked and looted by other players, making the game particularly exciting and competitive.

Raiding: Another characteristic element of Ruins To Fortress is the raiding of other players' bases. By using explosives and other tools, players can breach enemy bases to steal resources and equipment.

PvP (Player vs. Player): Ruins To Fortress is known for its intense PvP elements. Players can attack each other at any time, making the game a constant challenge. Alliances and rivalries between players or clans strongly shape the gameplay experience.

PvE (Player vs. Environment): Ruins To Fortress already includes numerous PvE elements to offer a non-competitive gaming experience. These PvE elements are planned to be significantly expanded and enhanced over the course of Early Access.
