The commencement someone dungeon crawler genre has rattling few expert offerings for gamers. The about notable of them currently available are Legend of Grimrock as well as Legend of Grimrock II. If anyone wanted to come inward the genre, Grimrock would live a non bad starting point. Ruzar: The Life Stone falls into some the same vein equally Grimrock, nonetheless it has a few changes as well as additions that acquire inward tolerate upward out on its ain inward the genre. It's simply equally challenging, as well as simply equally fun.
Gameplay
==========
The entire game plays inward commencement person, rattling similarly to games such equally Legend of Grimrock as well as Etrian Odyssey (one of my favorites inward this genre, though it's non on Steam). You come across as well as battle enemies inward the same style equally Grimrock. Once confronted alongside a foe, y'all hitting a cardinal to assault them, as well as your weapon is lay on a brusk cooldown earlier y'all tin assault again. Interacting alongside the environs tin yield many results, including finding hidden treasure, opening doors, flipping switches to disarm traps, as well as many more. With games similar this, oftentimes the game globe is rattling large. Thankfully in that location is amap, as well as on which y'all tin exit custom notes to remind yourself of what is at a detail location. This is extremely useful when y'all backtrack after to become to different areas or hunt for hidden loot after obtaining a key.
One of the things alongside this game as well as alongside about games inward this genre is the difficulty. Every footstep y'all accept may live critical to your success when enemies are nearbyby. If y'all practise non carefully design your moves, y'all may terminate upward inward a topographic point where y'all are at quite a disadvantage inward combat--such equally inward a corner where y'all cannot escape. Another affair to bank annotation is that enemies act regardless of whether y'all practise or not, dissimilar inward other titles where y'all act as well as they move. When y'all reckon this, scrap is a lot to a greater extent than hard than at commencement glance.
When y'all inaugurate the game y'all are presented alongside a graphic symbol creation screen, but it's non similar conventional graphic symbol creators from about other games. Instead, it is much similar creating a graphic symbol for a pen as well as newspaper RPG, where y'all designate stat points to meliorate your abilities as well as proficiencies. Strength, Endurance, Luck, Intelligence, etc, are all feasible stats, as well as depending on the type of graphic symbol y'all desire to play determines what y'all about siege points in. Warrior type characters volition desire Strength as well as Endurance, whereas Mage types volition desire Intelligence. You tin apportion whatever advert y'all like, as well as fifty-fifty conduct an ikon to tolerate upward for your graphic symbol inward the UI. This is a overnice smaller bear upon to the graphic symbol sheet.
One of the large things Ruzar has that other games inward this genre don't (as far equally I know) is that it has an item storage system. Every as well as therefore oft y'all may come upward across a Storage Chest. To access it, y'all bear upon the pocket-size precious stone inward a higher place it as well as it slides out for y'all to deposit or withdraw items. Another affair is the Binding Stone. I didn't acquire far plenty to figure out what precisely it does after inward the game, but I imagine it either respawns y'all in that location when y'all die, or maybe y'all tin teleport betwixt constitute Bindign Stones.
Graphics
==========
Ruzar was built rattling carefully, as well as therefore all the details are rattling sharp, detailed, as well as recognizable. Oftentimes when y'all expect at a wall where a hidden push clit is located, y'all tinpellucidly reckon the push clit (though i tin contend if this is intentional or not). You never reckon your character, aside from assault animations. The UI does it's job, though it's a fleck basic. Health bar, mana bar, etc, it's all here. The inventory covert is nice, alongside different slots for different pieces of equipment as well as useable items similar potions as well as rocks (used to weigh downwards pressure level plates).
Sound as well as Music
==========
The music is nearbyly non-existant, but when it's acquaint it fits the subject of the expanse y'all are exploring. The sounds as well as ambience smooth inward this game. You constantly demand heed the conditions (when outdoors) as well as the creaks/squeaks of dungeons when indoors. If in that location are enemies nearbyby y'all tin demand heed them scuttling, scuffling, or prowling about, accompanied past moans, groans, roars, as well as the like. It y'all pay attending to these sounds, you'll know when a large threat is coming up, giving y'all fourth dimension to prep for it as well as live ready. As alongside whatsoever game, grooming is cardinal for whatsoever encounter.
Performance
==========
Ruzar runs rattling well. On my mid-tier rig I was sitting at a constant 60FPS, alongside no drops or stuttering. The game didn't randomly jar at whatsoever point, as well as therefore that's a large plus. Lately when trying novel games I've had quite a few simply randomly jar, as well as that's non cool. There's no excuse for that alongside bigger titles, but it's overnice when smaller titles such equally this don't create got the problem...which goes to demo it's totally possible to prepare them.
Final Thoughts
==========
Ruzar: The Life Stone is a non bad foray into the commencement someone dungeon crawler genre. If y'all are looking for a challenge, hand this a shot. Sure, it's a fleck similar to other titles inward the genre, but it stands good plenty on it's ain to warrant a buy as well as a slot inward your library. Challenging, decent looking, as well as runs rattling well, y'all shouldn't live disappointed if y'all are a fan of this genre.
