Super Rare Originals and Cuddle Monster games have revealed a new title coming to Nintendo Switch and Steam: Lone Ruin.
Lone Ruin is the second release under the new Originals publishing label from Super Rare. Grapple Dog, an action-platformer, was first released earlier this year.
Advertised as a spell-based roguelike twin-stick shooter, Lone Ruin promises to focus on replayability. Players will assume the role of an explorer as they adventure through a ruined magical city searching for a mysterious ancient power.
In addition to the press release listed below, a trailer was also made available.
