Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“While the game is playable, its still in a very early state, and I want players to help shape the game from its current state into the final build, feedback has built it from when it was a very simple game with a very basic gameplay loop, into the dungeon crawler is it currently, Early Access will allow me to see how the community plays with the game, with development planned to continue past its finished launch.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in early access for roughly a year, with release planned around Q2 of 2026.”

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

“As development continues, I plan to build towards a more in depth combat system, player progression, more traders you can find, items you can forge with materials, and unlockable classes you can start with.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently you can explore the dungeons, gain spells (that might be game breaking) and spec into powerful upgrades with soul essence to increase your chance of survival for following runs.”

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

“The price will stay free until the game leaves early access.”

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

“The community will be the main focus during all of development, playtesting helped shape the game into its current form, I love hearing how people think the game could change and quality of life features they want in the game!”

About This Game

RUINS RUNNER

Craft, fight, and explore a procedural 2D world of biomes, ruins, crypts, and vaults. Gather materials, build your kit, choose a class, and push deeper — solo or in online co-op with friends.

Every seed remakes the wilderness: forests, plains, swamps, mountains, Ashfields, jungles, and void-torn wastes. Light way stones, uncover landmarks, and delve into dangerous places for gear, resources, and answers.

KEY FEATURES:

Procedural Worlds

- Fresh maps every run, packed with biomes, roads, ruins, and points of interest

- Discover lodges, forts, trading posts, mage towers, crypts, vaults, and more

- Light way stones for fast travel and a path back home

Real-Time Action & Crafting

- Fluid combat with bows, guns, spears, staves, and specialized loadouts

- Gather wood, stone, ores, and rare materials — then craft tools, gear, and stations

- Build defenses, manage inventory, and prep for poison, fire, and harsher biomes

Class Builds & Progression

- Pick your start: Wanderer, Ranger, Berserker, Alchemist, Shade, Void Walker, Artificer, and more

- Spend skill points at the Altar, chase quests, and grow through exploration and boss kills

- Equip head, chest, legs, and trinkets to shape your playstyle

Two Modes of Danger

- Story: hunt bosses across the map and clear tougher biomes

- Crawler: push deeper, bank progress, and extract with your haul — or die empty-handed

Online Co-op

- Invite friends into a shared world (Steam, host-authoritative)

- Delve as a party, revive downed allies, and take on tougher runs together

- Play with people you trust — the host runs the session

Photosensitivity note: optional trippy visual effects and screen shake can be reduced or disabled in Settings.
