JRPGs can be found in a lot of places, but they don’t get much exposure in the world of VR. One might argue it’s difficult to translate the genre over, but someone’s done it: publisher Mastiff and developer CharacterBank are introducing RUINSMAGUS, a first-person, fully immersive VR JRPG.
The all-caps name of the game is also the name of the guild you happen to belong to. Beneath the surface of the metropolis called Grand Amnis, there’s a labyrinth of abandoned, ancient ruins. There are a lot of valuable artifacts down there, but every one of them is protected by fierce guardians. The RUINSMAGUS Guild ventures into the ruins to battle the guardians and bring back the treasure. Sound simple enough? It won’t be nearly that easy….especially with the guardians right in your face!
- Explore and fight: Cast and blink your way through a stunning VR fantasy world.
- Make your mark: More than 25 story-driven quests to challenge your skills.
- Feel the power: Unleash 16 types of magic from the palm of your hand.
- Defend yourself: Raise your shield with your non-casting hand to block enemy attacks.
- Jack in: Immersive VR mechanics that bring your character to life.
RUINSMAGUS will be available on the Meta Quest Store and Steam VR Thursday, July 7, for $34.99.
