Outside of the main game, there is a Survival Mode that has you go up against waves of enemies that get progressively harder each time. They won’t waste time trying to end you so you do need to have your wits about you when fighting them. Do make sure to keep your health relatively high and try to have as many upgrades to your spells as possible so you can do optimum damage to them. The bosses are always the same on each run so you won’t find any surprises when you come across them time and again. Much like in every other game with a boss fight, these are strong enemies with a high health bar that you will need to chip away at. On every fifth stage, there will be a big bad boss waiting for you. In order to beat the main game of Lone Ruin, you will have to clear its 15 stages. You can also learn other spells to expand your arsenal which may be useful on certain enemies. The rewards can be anything from gold and replenishing health to upgrades and perks. After all, the bigger the reward, the higher the risk. Single rewards will have fewer waves of enemies whilst multiple rewards will have considerably more enemies. Each door has an icon or various icons which show you what reward is waiting for you upon beating the chamber. Once you have your first spell, you then have to pick a door. Having a varied selection of spells to choose from gives you the option to try something different each time and make each run a little different to the last one.
Shard allows you to fire multiple projectiles in short bursts. Lightning for example is able to chain through several enemies that are in close proximity to each other. Each spell has different effects from one another. At the beginning of the game, there is a single friendly NPC who will give you the choice of picking one of eight different spells to start off with. Being roguelike, the stages and rewards will change somewhat, each time you play. The goal of Lone Ruin is to successfully clear waves of enemies throughout the game’s 15 stages.
