Library Of Ruina

Genuinely one of the best games I've ever played. If Xiao has 10,000 fans, I'm one of them If Xiao has 1000 Fans, I'm one of them. If Xiao has 1 fan, I am that fan. And if Xiao had 0 fans? Then I am dead.

game doesn't have buttplug support when you get staggered but its still really good dont play limbus though that game is really bad

As much as I am in love with the game's story and characters, I gotta say, your time is better spent watching a play-through rather than playing it. The game is muddled with a comical amount of pointless busywork; between the never-ending grind for Books and the constant remaking and retrofitting of your builds, only a small fraction of your time will be spent progressing through the story. This is worsened by the game's Abnormality battles, for every one fun and interesting fight with engaging mechanics, there's three mind-numbingly boring and tedious fights. None of this is helped by the game's irritatingly vertical difficulty curve. I know that difficulty can be a huge selling point for games (I mean, look at how popular Dark Souls is), and I do think quite a few of the Reception are quite fun despite their difficulty, but Ruina kinda ruins it with how much slaving over modifiers you have to do to progress. Sometimes beating a tough reception feels like coming back home after a lon...

great game if you are good at strategy enjoy reading or are smart.. sadly im neither of the 4 i just mentioned.. still fun

incredible game, will stick with me for a long long time. words can not even begin to describe how much i adore this game

very funny, very sure that it doesn't cause nightmares about magical snakes, wax angels, dragon ladies, nor people with blue hair

we must repeat the cycle until we get that one true book open the curtains lights on don't miss a moment of this experiment

Best game I can never recommend to friends due to the difficulty and the requirement to play Lobotomy Corporation first. Story can seem disjointed at first but all ties together nicely in the end, great world building and music. Deck building allows for plenty of flexibility from the large amount of key pages, combat pages, and passives to test out, with each floor having their own number of broken synergies to stumble into. Also what do you mean a major story boss in Limbus Company, [spoiler] that even with a full team of 12 members and deus ex machina shenanigans we canonically still lost to [/spoiler], is the equivalent of a grunt enemy from a normal story encounter in Library of Ruina.

There are quite a few games following the basic premise of "what if you ran the dungeon the heroes of a classic tale were challenging" now, but Library of Ruina is probably my favorite, because of how it centers not the perceived novelty of the idea itself, but the emotional aspect of it. "How do people justify harming others for the sake of their goals?", that is the question at the center of this game regarding both the staff of the mystical library you are controlling and its "guests". Beyond that intriguing set-up, I'd describe Library of Ruina as a challenging but (mostly) fair deck-building RPG with well thought-out lore and an excellent story, set in a universe that mixes horror, cyberpunk and fantasy elements. It manages to be dark without feeling edgy or overly reliant on shock value and it generally doesn't touch subject matters it doesn't have anything significant to say about. My only complaint is that some of the later battles, in particular the Keter Realization, feel ...

Should have had BongBong as a reception, but still a good game.
