Realm of Ink is a difficult game to review in isolation. Having recently 100% completed both Hades I and II, it is impossible not to measure this title against the gold standards of the genre. Ultimately, Realm of Ink is a competent and visually striking experience, but it lacks the mechanical depth and narrative weight of its inspirations. On a surface level, the game functions well. The aesthetic is beautiful, the music is atmospheric, and the core combat loop is mechanically sound. However, the narrative is entirely sterile, and the character voice acting quickly becomes grating. More critically, the combat, while engaging, is trivial. Coming from Hades, identifying and exploiting optimal build synergies is second nature, and Realm of Ink's balancing is incredibly fragile. In fact, the game actively penalizes player proficiency. I defeated the true final boss within ten runs, which triggered a massive progression bottleneck. Because the game relies on an archaic system where narrative and achievement triggers are tied to sequential dialogue pools, my rapid success completely broke the backend logic. The game simply could not sequence its story fast enough to keep up with my victory pace, resulting in delayed, buggy achievement unlocks. Furthermore, the ease of constructing overpowered builds completely breaks the late-game architecture, specifically Endless Mode. When taking a successful build into the archived hub, the wave-spawning logic utterly collapses. Because my build deleted enemies the literal millisecond they spawned, the engine continuously forced rapid, compounding waves onto the screen. This created a catastrophic CPU bottleneck, reducing the game to an unplayable, unresponsive slideshow. Dying because the engine cannot handle its own combat pacing is a glaring optimization failure, and one that is widely documented. If you are looking for a casual, forgiving "Hades-lite" where you can effortlessly assemble overpowered builds to steamroll content, Realm of Ink is worth your time. Just be prepared for shallow writing and severe technical limitations when pushed to a high-skill level. I give Realm of Ink a 6 out of 10.
Realm of Ink is a game that plays a lot like Hades but lets you make more complex builds and is a bit faster. The developer (Leap) is Chinese and that comes through in story and game elements, it feels like it respects Chinese mythology and culture. Also the ink-brush painting aesthetic is something I really liked. However, there is some pretty overt fan service in the character models that I found a little off-putting. Overall I rate this game a guilty pleasure; it is fun to play. I am writing this review after getting all of the achievements, which took about 35 hours. For comparison, doing the same in Hades 1 and 2 took over 100 hours each for me. So right out of the box, let me tell you the game is fairly easy. Especially if you have played Hades or games like it before. I have done a few dozen runs, and I think I have only lost 3 of them total; largely due to me being greedy. Despite how this sounds, I actually think this is the developer's intent. The game starts on the lowest possible difficulty ranking and each clear allows you to go up to the next difficulty tier. There's about 7 of those tiers before you get into adding on additional difficulty modifiers. I think they let you work through the difficulty at an executable pace (it is a rougelite after all) so that you are ready for the next tier when you get there. And to be clear, the game is easy because they give you so much room to work. There's like 100 different Curio's that alter the game in various ways that allows you to make your build pretty overpowered if you are trying for synergy. There's also around 30ish different relics that give new buttons to push (you can only have up to 2 at a time) and a lot of absurdly powerful elixirs that you can pick up. So a lot of the difficulty removal comes from decisions that the player makes. That's part of what makes it fun. There's a also around a dozen different 'skins' that have their own move sets and ability upgrades that really change the game up. By endgame there are 6 total biomes to progress through, the first four of which can alternate between two different choices. This keeps the game from getting stale. In the extreme upper end of difficulty it can take quite a while for things to die. I did find that my computer (specs attached) chugged a good bit deep into the game when there were screens of enemies alive taking damage with 10's of millions of health. I didn't encounter any crashes, but there were slowdowns there and in the 'endless' mode. Overall its a 9/10 for me, I really enjoyed it. Its a good game to start up and just destroy things for an hour when you have the time.
If Hades is to hard for you, i guess this is a good option to start. Artstyle is nice and combat feels smooth. There is replayability and a lot of unlocks. The only thing thats really bad is the one ink option, there is literally an i-win button in the game. When you get this option you go from making 600damage to 60000damage with a single hit. 60% of players have the "not get hit from endboss" achievement and all yo have to do is getting this one ink option. Because you just kill the boss in less than one second with this. PLEASE NERF THIS WTF... never seen worse balancing in a game.. make playing the game feels obsolete Otherwise good game tbh
Another roguelite that I had to test, even when I'm so bad in roguelites and likes. I am just drawn to these games for some reason.. and this one didn't make me abandon it immediately, like many have! This is being compared alot to Hades, but it's unique enough to stand out. And there's PETS! People seem to say that the game is too easy. Well it is.. on lower difficulties, but you can increase the difficulty. I think this game is great starter game into the genre and for dummys like me.
