  The eShop description of Realm of Ink explains, "Death is not the end; it's just a chance to redefine your destiny through cycles of death and rebirth." Whereas that would be awful in reality, you're going to need that cycle here.

  Realm of Ink sets itself apart with a gorgeous art style that makes every run through its isometric hack-and-slash roguelite world a feast for the eyes.

  Another isometric roguelite tries to take on Hades, but what this new indie game lacks in originality it makes up for in terms of action and variety.

  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.

  A visually mesmerizing roguelike elevated by fluid combat with extraordinary art direction. Realm of Ink occasionally suffers from repetitive enemy design and balance issues, but its mythological world and explosive gameplay remain unforgettable.

  Overall, I’ve had a lot of fun with Realm of Ink. It’s a fast-paced, accessible action roguelite that’s easy to get into, even though it’s not a fully polished game yet. If you enjoy this kind of game and don’t mind some rough edges, there’s plenty to enjoy here. However, if you want a complete, smooth experience, you might want to wait for more updates. For now, I’m curious to see how the developers improve the game, and I’ll keep playing to see how it evolves.
