Juicy Realm

Usually I’m not a big fan of rougelikes (I prefer characters I can continually upgrade), but every so often, games like this one come along that are a big exception. This title has elements of two of my favorite mobile titles, Crashlands and Neon Chrome. It’s got Neon Chromes loot-shooter Arpg aspect, and Crashlands amazing art, music, and design. I just finished my first play through and can’t wait to try another run. I love all the different crazy weapons, and characters, and upgrades, and stats, and secrets, and boss fights, etc. There aren’t really many mobile titles that scratch my loot-shooter itch, and fewer still with a pleasing aesthetic. And until somebody makes a top-down, Arpg, dual-stick, loot-shooter for mobile (think Diablo meets Borderlands), gems like this one are greatly appreciated. So far my mobile GotY.

This is my first review and I just needed to come on here to express how this is easily the best and my most favorite game on the App Store. If you’ve played return to the gungeon, or played the binding of Isaac or any bullet hell games, this is right up your ally. This game is well worth over 3 dollars. You get weapons randomly, upgrades, map teleportation so you don’t miss areas, the graphics and fluid gameplay is wonderful and it’s really just a gorgeous game. It’s quirky, fun and definitely a must buy for anyone who wants to kill some time and go on a quick run and slay some fruits and advance into the dungeon. This is a no brainer to purchase as a must have on your device. I actually shocked that it’s as cheap as it is. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It’s well made, looks fantastic, and seems to have a lot to offer. But honestly it loses to games like Soul Knight in every category but art direction. Movement feels loose and unresponsive, and I think that lends to why the aiming is done for you; they likely couldn’t get it serviceable otherwise. Upgrades feel minor and mostly unnoticeable save for a few, and many rely on very specific builds that you can’t exactly choose given the RNG involved. I really want to like it but it just isn’t for me. Clearly many people do and I’m disappointed that I can’t find that myself! Wish there had been a demo version, it’s only $2 but I never pay for mobile games and I’m annoyed the first time I do in a great while ends up being a bust. I would suggest looking at some gameplay videos and deciding for yourself, I’m a stickler for things some people might not care about.

I love this game and everything about it but I do have a few gripes with some little features. First of all, the Ninja character with the sonic hair's description in the "character select screen" is cut off on the last line. Another (out of like 4) problem I see it the distinct lack of dodge/dash animation. You'd expect a satisfying tactical roll or a cool lunge into some sort of position to continue firing but, no, the character just turns blue and inexplicably phases out of existence for a little while. These are very small problems and everything else is satisfying, fun, and generally awesome but I just wanted to point out these very small problems. Hope these get fixed in an update soon! 😉

This game has been amazing so far. This game is really fun and the way it works is kinda like the game dead cells(if you played that). You’ll start with a weapon and get different upgrades and weapons along the way. When you die, you start over but the levels are different each time so it’s not the exact same thing. Than you get seeds which can be used to get permanent upgrades and once you “beat the game” you unlock a higher difficulty. The weapons are also very creative as well. When first starting the game you pick “solo mode” so I hope in the future there will be a co-op. Overall, it’s a great game and would recommend it.
