"Rubinite" is a dark fantasy boss rush action game that utilizes the unique mechanic "Focus" to pinpoint enemies' weaknesses and execute thrust attacks. Follow Ruby, a princess who has escaped from the Scarlet Kingdom, embarking on a journey of revenge to reclaim her kingdom.
Rubinite is a bona fide sleeper hit, and I won't be convinced otherwise. The game's demo was already a delight; the full release shattered every single one of my expectations.
Rubinite is a confident and rewarding take on the boss rush formula, pairing expertly crafted encounters with meaningful progression, engaging characters, and a surprisingly heartfelt narrative.
