About This Game Rise to Ruins is at heart a godlike village simulator, but it also throws in plenty of familiar game play mechanics from classic 90s era real-time strategy games like Settlers, along with some tower defense and survival elements in an attempt to create a new kind of village simulator. The goal is to try to bridge the gap between the depth and complexity of traditional village simulators, the fun of godlikes and the simplicity of real-time strategy.Build a village, and die trying!A major part of the game is village management, and trying to discover new and creative ways to use the tools at your disposal to keep yourself alive as long as possible. In this game, you will lose frequently, but with every failure you learn a little bit more about how to survive and apply that knowledge to your next attempt.Several Game ModesCurrently, the game offers three game modes. Survival, Sandbox and Peaceful.Survival is the game the way it was meant to be played, as a brutal survival style village sim, you will probably die often trying to figure out the best way to survive, but that's half the fun right?!Peaceful is very similar to Survival, but it's balanced much like a traditional village simulator with some godlike and RTS elements sprinkled on top. The monster spawn rates are much lower, and the main focus is keeping your village happy and fed. It's a very easy mode, designed for casual players, or players just wanting to experiment.Sandbox, like the name implies, is a mode where you can play around with the game mechanics. Change the time of day, weather, spawn monsters or villagers, or even edit the map while you're playing on it. This is the ultimate "Screw around" mode for players wanting to play with the game mechanics.Godlike ElementsNot only can you manage your village, but you also have many godlike abilities at your disposal. You can alter the terrain, blast enemies from afar, pick up objects or creatures, heal your villagers, speed up resource growth and all sorts of other fun godly stuff.Tons of map set themes!Every set of maps will follow a certain theme (Forest, Desert, Underground, etc). Most of the current screenshots only feature a few of these map sets. But many more are planned.The Soundtrack!A full original soundtrack, made by Bibiki Garcia that blends orchestral instruments in a way fans of old 1990s era PC gaming will love and remember!SixtyGig Games is a DRM free independent game developer!

Everything you need to know is laid out before you within the game.Like eating hot pizza. Smells good, looks good, want some? Oh yeah!Bite into that steamer and what happens?

That's the kind of game it is.Leave it running while you go visit the neighbor? No problem and no pressure.When you get back it will be different and things will have changed, sure. Possibly even the end of the world as you knew it in Rise to Ruin.But at least you got off your can and went to the neighbors for a few minutes.I recommend this game on sale and not on sale.. Rise to Ruins is essentially a more shallow Rimworld set in a fantasy universe rather than sci fi.Many of the elements are similar:-Management of a colony\/colonies of settlers-Constant encroachment of enemies-Multiple types of buildings for housing, refining, production, etc-Jobs are assigned and then tasks carried out automatically-Difficulty increases as time goes onHowever, most or all of these elements are executed in a more shallow, less interesting way. First of all, the depth of each settler in RtR is far less. They have a fraction of the meaningul stats, they have no back story, and their only interactions with one another is to become coupled and produce children.Next, the variety of wild life and enemies is tiny by comparison, with animals only being represented by "doggos".Next, tasks are assigned by assigning villagers to specific buildings. This is a more straightforward method of assigning tasks than Rimworld's, but it also makes the finer points of management much more hands on, and not in a great way. The primary reason for this is that (at least in my experience) the amount of buildings you need to produce everything actually outpaces how many villagers you have. And since you can only assign a villager to a single building, you have to micromanage worker counts a LOT. This becomes pretty painful as time goes on, and since you don't even have a lot of direct control over the various tasks (You kinda do, but it's really finnicky) that workers in a single building are responsible for, it often feels hopeless. There are long periods of time when a task you assigned has gone unfinished, with no clear explanation why. The weird part about this is that the developer intelligently combined worker pools for related buildings like trash collectors, which can be generally assigned amongst trash cans, trash dumps, and trash burners without having to individually assign workers to each building. But then other connected trees like mining -> stone cutting -> forge, etc are disconnected. Kinda odd decision making imo.All in all it's a good game and worth a try if you like management simulations, especially if it's on sale. I'd give it a 7.5\/10.Main issue is that it just makes me want to go play Rimworld.. The idea and the set of the game is good, but the lack of effective AI (of the villagers) gives it a thumb down. Looking forward to see future improvement.. Interesting if rather simple city building mechanics, combining with survival \/ TD. This game is so close to being fantastic, but I'm afraid the dev's vision of "survive until you die" stands in the way of what the game COULD be. Let me explain.You start with a great little city builder! Yes, we can quibble about the oddities of farming\/water resource management, etc., but it is tremendously satisfying to watch as your village grows and comes alive! Then, the monsters attack. Mostly at night. You transition to a tower defense game, constructing towers and golems to fight the enemy, weaving a maze of walls for the enemy to traverse, holding strong as your villagers cower and attempt to reinforce every defense while balancing seasonal survival needs. This is all very cool... until it's not. You WANT to send out a force to counter-attack the enemy base camps. The game isn't designed for that. You WANT to eradicate the threat from every sector of the World Map one by one. But again, that\u2019s not what this game is about. The best you can do is... survive. For awhile. And then die. Yes, you can play on more peaceful settings, but you miss out on the tension which, early on, is really very good. But this game makes me long for more, like the days when I played the Majesty games where you could assemble a bunch of heroes, select a threat, and have them go trounce the enemy (or get trounced if not up to the task). If you play your cards right in Majesty, you can actually win! Here, in Rise to Ruins, you grow until your villagers are defeated, with goals like "Survive 21 days!" as your only incentive to keep going. But why keep going if the end is inevitable and the enemy is guaranteed victory every time?All defense and no offense creates an artificial limit on what this game COULD be. The potential is there, but ultimately it's a bust for me. Sigh. Back on the shelf of my Steam Library, hoping someday a developer in inspired by the many great elements from this and builds something with a more expansive vision - one with a path to overcome the threat and Rise FROM the Ruins to fight back!
