I can’t get enough of Realm of Ink at the moment. While I don’t think it’s quite as good as Hades, it’s also only just hitting Early Access, which means it’s got plenty of time to grow, and also plenty of time to iron out the odd bit of translation mixups. If you love action roguelikes, then do not miss out on Realm of Ink.
