RUIN (RuinGame)

RUIN is a 3D action roguelike game developed by 6 students of Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences (JAMK) and Gradia during the 2021 spring Ticorporate DemoLab course.

RUIN features cel-shaded stylized 3D graphics, real-time combat, random skill system, artifact system and 5 playable rooms, one with a boss.

Every run starts with a skill selection where player chooses 2 out of 5 random skills (not all of them are polished). Player proceeds through rooms by killing all the enemies within the room. In the 4th room there is a random artifact from a pool of 10 different artifacts that all affect the player in various ways. After killing the boss in the 5th room the player will start again from room 1 with all the same skills and the artifacts they have collected, but there will be more enemies.
