The Belgian solo developer DascuMaru introduced RUIN: Beast City, a stylish action game inspired by dark anime and horror films.

Surrounded by a dense and striking atmosphere, the experience blends stylized violence with a narrative steeped in mystery.

"RUIN: Beast City is a stylish action game, inspired by dark anime and horror films. You play as the mysterious Adama, a lone assassin contracted to kill a group of mythical immortals." Throughout the campaign, players follow Adama on his mission to track down the members of the Lunatics cult, facing challenging boss battles while uncovering a world ending conspiracy, as well as the protagonist’s own past connection with this hidden sect.

The game draws inspiration from 80s anime, especially the works of Yoshiaki Kawajiri, known for Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust and Ninja Scroll, as well as the intense and offbeat vibes found in Suda51 titles such as No More Heroes and Killer7. The result is an experience that merges brutality, style, and a strong sense of personality.

Gameplay focuses on the fusion of swordplay and gunplay, allowing players to parry, dodge, and decapitate enemies with fluidity. The cel shaded visuals reinforce its artistic identity, while the dark atmosphere heightens the oppressive tone that surrounds the decaying ruins of the once glorious Beast City.

"Load up your revolver with silver bullets and get ready to bloody your katana, as you hunt down your targets in the dilapidated ruins of the once glorious Beast City." Amid gunshots and katana slashes, the narrative unfolds as the story of a man trying to kill his own past while unraveling a conspiracy to summon a primordial god.
