About the game
Ever Ruin
A co-op action roguelite in chunky pixel art, played in the browser. A rotating 2.5D world, a moonlit hub to come home to, and a long road of lives.
The pitch
Fall. Rise. Again.
A kingdom broke, and its morning never came. What is left is the Wayrest, one lamplit plaza holding back the dark, and the rifts that open around it. You are an adventurer who will not stay dead. Each life gets a little further, and every life is remembered.
Combat
Bullet-hell, together
Read the pattern, find the gap, answer with everything you have. Ever Ruin plays fast and sharp, and the camera turns so you can see around every pillar.
- Fourteen heroes, each with its own weapon family, ability and signature skill
- Party up with friends; raids gather even more
- Guardians with phases, tells and rooms built around their fight
- Rewards are settled by the server, so a chest is a chest
The hub
The Wayrest
Every journey starts in the same place: a ring of cobbles around the Moonwell, where a marble koi leaps from a marble wave. Four Moonlanterns burn moon-blue at its corners, shallow pools hold the stars, and doves land wherever you are not walking.
- The keepers: a forgemaster, an archivist, a captain, a cook and more
- The Storied Hall for your vault and your characters
- See who else is home, chat, trade and form a party
The rifts
Thirteen doors, thirteen guardians
From the Hollow Grove to the Cathedral of the Hollow Sky, each rift is its own place with its own rules and a guardian at its heart. Win and the rift remembers; the next door opens.
- Endless expeditions for those who never want to stop
- Relics from Common to Divine, blueprints, glyphs and masterworks at Orrin's forge
- The Muster Board for raids and parties
The open realm
The Suspicious Portal
North of the Moonwell stands a portal that does not look trustworthy, and is not. Through it lies an open world of eight biomes, from the ash of Cinderreach to the willows of Moonfen, with wildlife, waystones and wandering guardians.
- Eight biomes, each with its own fauna and relics
- Event guardians and high guardians that rank you up
- The Arena of Ash, at the end of the road
Companions
Echo pets
Fourteen echoes, each with three forms. Feed them the dish they love, bond with them, hold the Bonding Rite at level five and Awaken them at ten. A Kindling becomes an Emberhorn and, one day, a Furnace Ram.
- Bond levels and passive powers that help in a fight
- The Echo Rite: bind a new echo with a song, not a net
- They follow you everywhere, even into the castle
Home
Castles and the Presumptuous Portal
At the end of the red carpet in the Storied Hall waits a portal to a castle that is entirely yours. Start with a turret and a hearth; build up to the Everspire Sanctum, with wings, rooms, grounds and a great deal of decor.
- Seven tiers, nine kinds of room, hundreds of animated decorations
- Grounds with a racetrack, a hedge maze and a lantern lake
- Invite friends, sign the Guest Book
The Gloaming Shore
Fishing and the Echo Kitchen
Ansel Weir will sell you a rod and write your catches in his Ledger: ninety species, each with its own weather and hour. Sorrel Ladlebright will cook whatever you bring her, as long as you do the stirring.
- Five rods, bounties and trophies
- Recipes your echoes adore (and Murky Stew, which they eat anyway)
