Ruin Hunters Steam Charts & Stats

Not bad for a dollar!

Ruin Hunters took me completely by surprise. It feels fresh and inventive in a genre where that’s getting harder to find. Unique mechanics: The way you can weaponise the environment—rolling pillars, triggering traps, or kiting enemies into hazards—turns every room into a mini-puzzle. It’s as satisfying as it is clever. Hero variety: At first I struggled, but once I experimented with different heroes the difficulty clicked into place. Each character pushes you to approach encounters in a new way, so the early “wall” quickly became an “aha!” moment. Design & pacing: Levels are compact but packed with options, encouraging exploration without feeling like a slog. Runs stay tense yet fair, and that constant risk-reward loop kept me saying “just one more.” Minor gripe: The game doesn’t explain itself very well. My first run felt like deciphering ancient ruins IRL. A short tutorial or a few more tooltips would go a long way for newcomers. Bottom line: If you’re after a roguelite that dares to do things differently—and rewards creative play—Ruin Hunters deserves a spot in your library. Give it a chance, learn the ropes, and you’ll discover a gem beneath the rubble.

It's not perfect (some text and visual glitches) but it's fun and a lot cheaper than it should be
