Join us at Steam Next Fest to experience the 'Ruins To Fortress' demo! 'Ruins To Fortress' is a side-scrolling, multiplayer survival indie game. Explore a post-apocalyptic island, craft, build, tear down enemy bases, defend and nuke your rivals! Life's about surviving in this multiplayer game, no matter what it takes!

In Ruins To Fortress, a full day-night cycle lasts 45 minutes. Choose between Player vs Player (PvP) or Player vs Enemy (PvE) modes. Pick your survival strategy—search for loot in containers and chests, or farm and sell your harvest at vending machines.

Build and design bases to protect your area and control the island's resources. Use a boat to navigate around enemy bases, craft tools and gear, hunt animals, and fight other players or NPCs.

You can host your own game or join dedicated servers. During the demo release, our servers can handle up to 100 players as we test the system. We’ve also added 10 languages to the menu for better accessibility.

We are a small indie game studio, exploring and innovating in ways that big AAA studios often can't, dedicated to creating great games.

Join our community on Discord and test the demo on Steam.
