Army of Ruin
An army of demons has swarmed the land, and one hero alone won’t be enough to stop them. Building an entire ruinous force from scratch, fighting back means summoning allies, wielding devastating weapons, and pushing through wave after wave of enemies until nothing’s left standing.
Army of Ruin is a fast-paced action roguelite from developer Toge Productions, built around escalating swarm combat. Choosing from a roster of heroes, summoning allied units to fight alongside you, and stacking weapons and upgrades into increasingly powerful combinations, you’ll battle through stage after stage on the way to becoming an unstoppable force.

An Army, Not Just a Hero
Rather than fighting solo, Army of Ruin puts real emphasis on the allies summoned throughout a run. Building out a growing force alongside a chosen hero changes how battles unfold, since managing positioning and letting allies handle certain threats frees up attention for dodging and prioritizing bigger dangers. That shift from lone survivor to army commander gives Army of Ruin a distinct feel within the swarm-clearing genre.
Stages That Keep Escalating
Standard early stages ease players into the core loop, but mid-to-late stage variants ramp up the difficulty considerably, throwing tougher enemy combinations and hazards into the mix. Endless and advanced rune modes push that escalation even further, rewarding players who’ve built a strong enough army to keep pace with runs that refuse to let up.
How Long Does a Run Take?
An average full run typically lasts between 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the specific stage variant and difficulty level selected. Standard early stages run roughly 10 minutes, mid-to-late stage variants scale up to 15 or 20 minutes, and endless or advanced rune modes can extend to 30 minutes or longer per session.
Controller Support
Army of Ruin features Full Controller Support for Xbox Controllers and PlayStation Controllers.
