Do you enjoy delving into caverns, mining, singing songs, and bringing death to the enemies of the dwarves? Well, do I have a free game for you: Regions of Ruin is free Vox Games has only made it available in limited numbers, though—expect them to go pretty quick. It’s a game received quite well by fans of the side-scrolling craft-and-build RPG genre since its release in 2018.

Regions of Ruin’s real interesting bit is building up a town and journeying through its side-scrolling open world. That open world and its story is actually hand-crafted, not randomly generated like a lot of games in the genre. As you journey around you recruit new dwarves and send them to a central settlement that you’re building, eventually making that a sprawling dwarven fortress. It’s a good time-waster if, like many of us, you’re stuck inside for a while right now. If you like Terraria or Starbound you’d do yourself a favor to check this one out. 

You can find Regions of Ruin on Steam.
