Very high production value for an early SHMUP creator game! I was impressed by the set pieces in the last 2 stages especially. Interesting scoring/HP system too, tanking damage and then healing back with the laser fits the 'vampire' theme nicely.

Raiders of Ruin takes the thrill of battling a mighty MMO raid boss and distils it down into a single-player experience. Study your enemies, assemble your party, and execute your strategy as you face off against dozens of challenging foes in this turn-based fantasy RPG.
Summary: In Raiders of Ruin, you guide a group of 5 champions sent on a quest to seize the throne of the Underworld itself. Along the way, you will encounter many deadly bosses and engage in challenging, strategic turn-based combat. You decide how to build your party, mixing-and-matching between 9 different classes, each with drastically different strengths and weaknesses. You can change classes any time, so experiment frequently to craft the perfect strategy for each enemy!
