Pretty much Hades but with hot chicks and a wuxia aesthetic. Worse storytelling, but honestly more fun gameplay. Amazing soundtrack and great replayability. Also Violetta is best girl and it’s not even close. Anyways, highly recommend. 9/10 for me. Finally scratched that itch of feeling like I’m in murim

This game is great. It doesn't receive as much recognition as games like Hades, but it should. Complete the room, get the reward and try to find synergies that enhance your character's abilities. It's also one of those games that once you understand the mechanics, you can become pretty OP and that is satisfying. Decent story, good graphics. There are multiple characters with different playstyles. If you enjoy roguelikes, it's worth picking up, especially if it's on sale.

Good fun game on both the keyboard + mouse and controller, love the art style and the fluid simple gameplay. The devs are doing good work and are passionate about this game especially after taking so long to resolve the publishing issue, the game is actively updated too. Honestly an underrated gem that you should try it out yourself.

While the nickname of "Chinades" is funny, it's rather unfair to both games. Realm of Ink does quite a bit to set itself apart in gameplay. Hades is built on a very direct combat style, whereas Realm of Ink has a lot more indirect and passive options within. You play as Red, and while you start with a single sword form, you unlock quite a few others that can radically change up your playstyle, your focus, or even how an entire build operates. A fast attacking twin dagger form can be super useful for building poison or #hit procs, but you could also build for a mobile caster that deals increased Ink Skill/Gem damage. Like Hades's weapon upgrade system, this one features form upgrades that can modify a base ability's function, or interaction. This can even change the way the entire attack is intended to be used, and you get several (4?) in a full run to build around. In some cases, you can build the rest of your run around one or more of these modifications to make your build stronger, or more cohesive. The biggest mechanical difference is the Ink Gem(/Skill) system. While Hades does have its spell options, and can be built around, Realm of Ink's gems are much more active in the gameplay. They can be used as lightweight bonus or utility functions, or determine your entire build. This really depends on your form, or your preference. Gems can empower attacks, grant shields, increase bonuses from elixirs (stat increases), grant damage, apply debuffs, or even give you a whole extra Momo pet. Finally, tying it all together, are a lot of perks. There's Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary perks. While I don't recall anything in-game explicitly explaining a synergy to their appearance, I feel like they are very strongly influenced by your Ink Gem, and/or form choice. For example, when I built for direct Ink Gem damage (like a spellcaster), I got more perks appearing geared towards that. When I went for a pet build, I got more pet perks, despite not using the best pet form (but I did start with a Momo ink gem). So, this seems to really help get builds going. The bosses all have a variety of skills, and pose different mechanical challenges. Higher difficulties do introduce some new boss abilities, and they certainly add a layer of challenge to them. I welcome the fact that there was a pass to buff some of the bosses, as it was previously easy to insta-gib some of them on the highest difficulty (at the time). The art is quite pretty, with much of it appearing hand drawn. The character portraits have a different artistic styling, and I think the artistry really helps encapsulate the game's namesake, even down to the aesthetics of the various forms and ink gems. There's quite a bit of voice acting, with it ranging from pretty good to o.k, and then there's a few characters that are just plain bad. For whatever reason, I think the Ink Kylin sounds adorable. Also, Momo is so damn adorable. :3 If you like Hades, I think you'll like Realm of Ink. I had a lot of fun 100%ing the achievements in this (the 3 I'm missing are the Animitta Sanctum, which was removed before I came back to play this again). I experimented with quite a few builds to beat all of the forms on the hardest difficulty, and my two favorite are Poison Feathers, and Pet builds. You do have to beware a bit for how much stuff can be on the screen in some builds, sort of like Warm Snow. Lastly, there isn't really any bugs I encountered, but the borderless fullscreen doesn't quite work, and sometimes my selection menu would just go left once, causing me to take the wrong choice on upgrade. The text font for the dialogue is pretty disjointed, but it's not a problem to read. And, lastly, the final ending has been bugged for me, where after the first line of dialogue, it just autoscrolls the rest in, like, 0.5s and skips the entire ending. I'm not sure what that's about. Recommend for people that enjoy Hades, and games like it. I look forward to the full release patch.
