Devolver Digital has announced Ruiner, a “brutal” anime-inspired shooter heading to PC later this year.

Developed by Polish studio Reikon Games, Ruiner is described as a futuristic “top-down action shooter created in the spirit of cult cyberpunk anime and game classics”, that puts players in control of a “wired sociopath” in the year 2091.

“A wired sociopath lashes out against a corrupt system to uncover the truth and retrieve his kidnapped brother under the guidance of a secretive hacker friend,” reads the game’s description. “Combine preternatural reflexes, augmented tools, and the arsenal of fallen foes to tear down and dismantle the corporate titans of virtuality dealers at HEAVEN.”

The game promises an “exceptional soundtrack”, “sophisticated & brutal combat”, and a “cyberpunk inspired arsenal” featuring “high-tech firearms and melee weapons”. It’s said to have been in development since January 2015.
