Description

In RUINSMAGUS, youโ€™ll take on the role of a novice in the magical arts sent to investigate the abandoned ruins below the prosperous town of Grand Amnis. The townโ€™s wealth depends largely on artifacts hidden deep within the ruins, protected by powerful Guardians. Faced with a daunting challenge, you must answer the question that haunts every one of your fellow citizens: What mysteries lurk beneath the gilded streets of Grand Amnis?

As a member of the renowned RUINSMAGUS Guild, your goal is to help strengthen it with magic, resources, and wisdom as you fulfill more than 25 unique, story-driven quests. Face off against guardians tasked with protecting the ruins from intruders โ€“ and solve deadly puzzles to advance the story. When you’ve completed a quest, head to the surface to acquire new items and upgrade your equipment in town โ€“ if you want to live another day, that is!
