However, it doesn’t take long for Lost Ruins to abandon this pretense. Traps abound, meaning that I was reloading my saves to get through with minimal damage, all the while carefully hoarding important resources. Enemies aren’t around in great numbers, but the almost survival horror-level emphasis on reducing damage and managing your supplies scratches a certain itch. You’ll need foes to drop healing orbs or eat food that you’ve picked up. Enemies do a lot of damage and save points don’t heal you. And that appears to be true for the first half hour or so. When you first start a game in Lost Ruins, it’s quick to tell you that this is a survival experience. But it’s also short, weighed down by poor combat, and surprisingly reliant on elements lifted from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The visuals are pleasing, plus I do appreciate some of what the game attempts. But there’s a problem: it’s simply too afraid to commit, which ends up making the game’s main unique feature more of a passing idea than an actual focus. ![]() Lost Ruins appears to want to try things differently, with a stronger emphasis on survival and careful play. Too much of the time they tend to regurgitate familiar ideas. ![]() Always disable your anti virus before extracting the game to prevent it from deleting the crack files.I’m all for Metroid-likes trying something new. Also, be sure to right click the exe and always select “Run as administrator” if you’re having problems saving the game. Look for a ‘HOW TO RUN GAME!!.txt’ file for more help. You need these programs for the game to run. If you get any missing dll errors, make sure to look for a _Redist or _CommonRedist folder and install directx, vcredist and all other programs in that folder. NOTICE: This game is already pre-installed for you, meaning you don’t have to install it. Don't forget to run the game as administrator.
