Ruin of the Reckless is a 2D action rogue-like with a focus on fast-paced melee combat, speedy movement, and co-operative play.

• Speed through the environment at lightning pace and crush giant hordes of enemies with melee combat-focused abilities. Upgrade your weapons, find new equipment, level up your hero.

• Explore a detailed, exciting, randomly generated Tower that changes with each ascent. The Ruin is a mysterious place, and not even its inhabitants know its true purpose. It is filled with powerful artifacts, hordes of vicious monsters, and the occasional wayward traveler. Discover the mysterious purpose of the Tower and see your one true wish granted.

• Accessible and easy to pick up and play, but ascending to the higher levels of the Tower will take intense skill. As you get higher, you will encounter more dangerous enemies, more vicious traps, and more difficult challenges. Collect the right combination of items and abilities to ensure you reach the top!

• Bring your friends, local co-op play for at least two players!
