Ruiner – Ironically, it’s Made my day

Ruiner has taken advantage of our ‘We Will Always Report On Cyborg Minotaurs’ policy. It also helps that it looks amazing.

I never knew I wanted a ‘Hotline Miami meets Akira’ game. I’d never considered that ‘Diablo meets Blade Runner’ would be amazing. You know who did? Reikon Games.

Reikon Games, made up of people who’ve worked on The Witcher titles, are now in cahoots with Devolver Digital to bring us what looks to be a fast-paced slice of violence. It’s called Ruiner and we’ve got a trailer for you to check out.

The website claims it’ll be a ‘story-driven’ game, though it looks to be all action in the trailer.

Coming this year, the ‘cult cyberpunk anime’ inspired title will see you slashing, shooting and dodging your way through all manner of enemies. Punks (of a cyber nature), corporate goons and, everyone’s favourite, Cyborg Minotaurs.

A Cyborg Minotaur - did I mention this game has cyborg minotaurs? Because it does.

I strongly recommend you check out the game’s website. It’s almost as cool as the trailer and it’ll give you a very small glimpse as to what the story’s about andĀ give you an idea of the setting they’re using.

Ruiner should be out this year, 2016, and is planned for Windows, Mac and Linux.
