A Hades inspired action roguelite with a similar isometric view, pacy combat, and Chinese ink brush visuals, whose addictive action makes up for a lacklustre storyline.

In order to appreciate Realm of Ink, you need patience to look beyond its initial appearance, which may seem like a mere cheap copy. As you discover its unique shapes and colors, you will find a fun, fast-paced roguelike with interesting challenges. Its unique visual style and enviable amount of customization make the title addictive. Some minor smudges here and there slightly detract from the overall quality, but the final product is more than worthy of its place in your gallery.

An action roguelike with a gorgeous hand-drawn art style, Realm of Ink is a very welcome addition to a somewhat crowded genre. Fast-paced combat and a wealth of unique skills make this a standout entry into the space, with a solid permanent upgrade system keeping you coming back for more.

Realm of Ink, an indie game from Leap Studio and published by 4Divinity. It's an action roguelike with a beautiful visual style inspired by the aesthetics of oriental ink painting, combining frenetic combat with a narrative focused on destiny and identity.

A very refreshing roguelite experience. Realm of Ink's building difficulty level lets you feel untouchable at first, navigating the striking landscapes with a feeling of "I've got this", before suddenly you get humbled. But, like many other Rougelites or Souls-bournes, it's only after that first death that the game really starts. I've enjoyed every run I've done so far in Realm, and I look forward to trying out many more combinations of gems/ new characters, and, of course, seeing all those variations for the game's best boy, Momo.

Realm of Ink is a very good roguelite that plays well and uses East Asian mythology as a great basis to tell its story. Being able to create some really powerful builds and demolish enemies, but it can also be considered a rather easy experience despite higher difficulty settings.

Realm of Ink is an elegant and deep action roguelite, combining visual beauty with a good amount of mechanical variety. It’s not without its flaws: the narrative could have been more compelling, the difficulty more balanced, and some early stages less dependent on luck. However, the combat system, the richness of the build options, and the gorgeous art style make it a recommended title for fans of the genre.

Realm of Ink is a fun and visually stunning roguelite that delivers on its promise, though it isn't without its flaws. Its direct inspiration from Hades ultimately works against it, as it sets the bar too high and falls short in some areas of gameplay.

Realm of Ink delivers a stylish roguelite experience with fast-paced combat, strong visual identity and fun build variety through Momo’s transformations. While balance issues and technical problems prevent it from reaching the heights of the genre’s best, there’s still plenty of fun to be found for players looking for a more accessible hack-and-slash roguelite.
