Not all that long off the heels of releasing parkour boomer shooter Metal Eden, developer Reikon Games have now announced that they'll be returning to their cyberpunk world Ruiner in the form of… well, it's just called Ruiner 2. And it's a sequel that sure, looks like more of the same, but the immediately noticeable difference in this one will be that you can play it with a couple of your buddies. Read more

Reikon Games is proud to announce the global reveal and trailer for RUINER 2, a sequel to the cult-classic top-down shooter that evolves the franchise into a ruthless Cyberpunk ARPG. In RUINER 2, players will return to the city-scape & concrete hunting grounds of Rengkok.In RUINER 2, DEATH IS EARNED.RUINER 2 welcomes players back to Rengkok. It is a place where corporations don't just control lives—they own the copyright to a person’s death. The inhabitants are trapped in a cycle of servitude where dying is a breach of contract. The system is designed to keep people alive, productive...and suf

Reikon Games, the developers behind cyberpunky top-down shooter Ruiner, have reportedly become the latest studio to lay off dozens of staff, with over half of the Polish indie said to have lost their jobs earlier this week. Read more

It's not often you get a game like Ruiner. Its influences are clear, with heavy dashes of Cyberpunk 2077, Hotline Miami, Deus Ex, and beloved anime movie Akira. But Ruiner is more than the sum of its parts. One of the best indie games of all time, it blends a neon-soaked, dystopian world, brutal twin-stick combat, and a blasting soundtrack to become something entirely unique and wonderful. And now, if you've never tried Ruiner before, you can get it for no more than the cost of lunch. Read the rest of the story...

Amazon Studios are considering making Prime shows and films based on video games, signing a first-look deal with the production company currently planning adaptations of games including Disco Elysium and Life Is Strange. This will give Amazon the first opportunity to snap up anything DJ2 Entertainment might be making, if they want to. This is not, however, an announcement that Amazon will make these specific shows. These shows still might never get made, by anyone. But maybe it's enough of a step forwards for you to start daydreaming about what such shows could be? Read more

Hello Puppies, We are back with one of the most frequently requested adjustments to our official soundtrack on Steam! From now on, you can purchase the RUINER OST on Steam independently of the game. It means that our soundtrack is purchasable and downloadable even by users who don't own the base game. To find it, go to your "music" directory inside the Steam client installation folder, rather than into a subdirectory of your main app. This adjustment is an extra change that was regularly suggested by our community. You can now use Steam Player to listen to your favourite songs from our OST. He

If you're looking to expand that insurmountable gaming backlog still further, then perhaps you might like to glance in the direction of the Epic Games Store, where once again a bony finger beckons through the crack in the curtain with the promise of more free games. And this week your freebie options are Ruiner and Nuclear Throne. Nuclear Throne, of course, is developer Vlambeer's acclaimed rogue-like top-down shooter, in which bullets, and a procession of gun-toting post-apocalyptic mutants, reign supreme. Eurogamer's Christian Donlan called it, "Vlambeer's most luxurious game" when he took i

I hope you remembered to pick up Costume Quest and SOMA for free from the Epic Games Store, because if you didn't, you missed your chance. The good news, as the old saying goes, is that when one window closes, somebody throws a big rock through another one, and so it is that Nuclear Throne and Ruiner are now up for grabs for the week. Vlambeer's Nuclear Throne is an outstanding top-down roguelike shooter about mutants doing high-explosive battle for the titular throne. It's a few years old now, but one of the advantages of retro-style graphics is that they tend to age well, sinc

If you like your violence from the perspective of a duck, or of a child who held onto their kite during a gale, then the two free games on Epic Games Store this week are very much for you. Both Ruiner and Nuclear Throne are top-down shooters, given freely as long as you grab them before next Thursday. Then the cycle of free stuff begins anew. (more…)

The Epic Games Store has a little Halloween treat for you, with both dress ’em up RPG Costume Quest and grim depths survival game Soma free for the next week. If you’re going to grab a freebie for your kiddy-winks, I urge you to be very careful with your clicks or prepare for some long nights ahead. Epic also just announced a few new additions to their storefront, so let’s take a look at that as well. (more…)

Hello Puppies, Wow, time goes by fast! But, in a cyberpunk future, time can be very relative. It’s pretty hard to believe that Puppy started his journey through the streets of Rengkok over two years ago. That’s right! Today marks exactly two years since we released Ruiner! And, during these two amazing years, we’ve been continuously working to make Ruiner even better. Additionally, we’ve started development on our new title that we will reveal next year. But, before that happens, we've still got a couple of aces up our sleeve. To celebrate Ruiner’s second anniversary, we have a little gift for
