Reikon Games·Released Sep 26, 2017·Single player
Ruiner is a top-down action shooter created in the spirit of cult cyberpunk anime and game classics. Ruiner is quick and brutal but sophisticated gameplay, original world with mature storyline and unique visual style.
Ruiner is an exceptionally stylish, brutal and bloody top-down shooter that hurls you unceremoniously into a relentless onslaught of deranged creeps, cyborgs and enormous mechanoid bosses all hellbent on your destruction. A steady drip-feed of new combat skills – alongside a ton of meaty guns and melee weapons – keeps the action feeling fresh, and the game's excellent graphics and thumping techno soundtrack do a top-notch job of bringing the whole thing vibrantly to life. There are a few framerate issues here and there in docked mode – something which has been an issue in other versions of the game – but, overall, this is a super-solid version of a supremely enjoyable and challenging cyberpunk action-adventure.
This repackaging of cyberpunk motifs has a few bright ideas but little success executing them
Eurogamer's review of Ruiner from Reikon Games and Devolver, a gory third-person action game set in a cyberpunk city.
Stylish, frantic action that only starts to feel good once it's all over.
Ruiner delivers the thrills but is lacking in nearly every other department.

In a year crowded with incredible titles, Ruiner manages to be a standout anyways. The red neon-plastered world presented by Reikon Games is beautiful, brutal, and terrifying. With some impressive art direction, great music, and a wealth of immensely satisfying combat systems, Ruiner offers essential top-down gameplay, and comes highly recommended.
Top-down cyberpunk action game Ruiner drips with style and rips into you with challenge.
Ruiner's world of pure and absolute murder is one teeming with interesting concepts, and its stellar combat makes it a journey well worth taking.
