What people are saying
Mixed reception: some enjoy the reverse defense, others find it shallow.
Several players praise the unique reverse defense concept and the fun of playing as orcs. One says 'I Really enjoy what this game brought to the series, we are playing as orcs now' and another adds 'I cannot believe how fun it became after we were given the opportunity to play as the enemy factions.' [3][7]
However, many criticize the game as too short, easy, or unpolished. One calls it 'legit an uninteresting game with nice OST, very short campaign' and another says 'Overpriced flash game.' A player also notes 'the start there's little you can do with two units' and finds it unsatisfying. [15][18][12]

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Note: This review will appear a lot like my review for "Legacy of Sin the father sacrifice" and "Legacy of Sin blood oath". The rationale is that when developers copy + paste entire games, I don't think people should be offended if the review looks a little bit similar, too. Ruined Kingdom is an almost 1:1 copy + paste of "Legacy of Sin the father sacrifice" and "Legacy of Sin blood oath", both simplistic 2D retro soldier defense games. You have a hero who you can position along two lanes…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a strategy game enthusiast, I was surprised by the quality of this game, so much better than the previous game that I felt something was missing. Ruined Kingdom get your progression right by delivering the player new characters and new powers with a frequency that prevents the game from becoming repetitive and encourages you to play with new strategies, I didn't find any bugs the game runs smoothly. During the campaign you play various types of missions, high variety, there is one where we…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I Really enjoy what this game brought to the series, we are playing as orcs now with new mechanics being the aggressor and some times being the defender as well, and now have a bit of puzzle in the matchs. Still remebering us Plant X Zoombies. Recommended
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot believe how fun it became after we were given the opportunity to play as the enemy factions. I have great expectations for this publisher.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ever wanted to play a reverse defence game so at the start you wonder why am i attacking archers that one shot my fodder have AOE melee to kill more if they get close and a fencer that destroys most of your units so that it feels unsatisfying cause i want's to be more puzzle than game? yeah not for me and i liked the art and wanted to like it but the start there's little you can do with two units and no upgrades and its just like figure it out now here a new unit but you can only pick two now…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Ruined Kingdom" is mainly a tower defense game with some puzzles and RPG elements. It's in reverse, as you try to ruin the kingdom and not save it. You attack various enemies by purchasing your army and as you defeat you earn more. Will you be able to ruin the kingdom?.. Unfortunately, you might not get that far. At it's current state, it's lacking the fun factor and it runs horribly. My pc was screaming to me "I'm on fiiire!!!" like I had launched 3 AAA at the same time.. The menu has almost…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →legit an uninteresting game with nice OST, very short campaign, the gameplay is interesting but barebone and nothing was ever explain even then i would have give this game a thumb up but due to the Legit Very Short gameplay and the prices really not fit for such a game gotta give this a thumb down
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tries to have a story at the start with incredibly scuffed home mic recordings XDD After like 20 kinda mind numbing, kinda frustrating and challenging waves, it's just a variation of roles you need to combine in a way to proceed, either to kill the protecting humans who don't fight back, red orcs that will also try to take your deployment zones and a boss wave where you fight a boss that's a strengthened version of the normal human roles and who summons some sort of matching human as help.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ruined Kingdom is an interesting indie game in a series of wave-pushing/defending games, and overall, this one is not too bad. So, the gameplay acts as a wave-pushing conflict with an oddly puzzle-like feel to it. Each level you are allowed to pick a handful of units and upgrades, you then use these units and the buffs you have given them to push through your enemies either to conquer a lane or to kill an enemy leader. What ended up happening was that I would pick some units, try them out, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pretty nice game and fast to finish. you just need to think strategically.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot believe how fun it became after we were given the opportunity to play as the enemy factions. I have great expectations for this publisher. Thanks developer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fun! I like the character and enemy designs, the concept, and the art just in general. There is a bug where sometimes if I enter a level it is automatically completed before I even do anything, but closing and reopening the game fixes it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overpriced flash game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah the game definitely has issues with introducing new places and ideas too fast, and dropping interesting aspects right as they're getting good. Like there was no good reason to make Cloud Kingdom and Ruined Kingdom exclusively boss arenas

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a bad game, just too easy and the mechanics felt like they could have tried harder.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've played and reviewed Aarik and The Ruined Kingdom, a perspective shifting puzzle game that is fun but has some bugs. www.thesixthaxis.com/2024/07/02/a... #gaming
unlabelledView post →Aarik and The Ruined Kingdom is a well crafted and great looking puzzle game that entertains for its 2-3 hour playtime. It is let down by various bugs, like sounds playing unprompted, and the issue of placing objects being more cumbersome than it needs to be. www.thesixthaxis.com/2024/07/02/a...
