Ruine

Short description

A sidescrolling fantasy RPG with roguelike elements and a souls-like setting. The world of Ruine is amorphous, its past long forgotten by most. Forests and ruins are inhabited by creatures that once lived and now refuse to die. Use what you can find or craft to eradicate them.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $4.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
