When it comes to roguelike shooters I’m both a tremendous fan and often a picky critic...

cublikefoot: 6.5 / 10 by Claire Ferrin

Pretty good game overall with a cool art style and some unique weapons. It does suffer from its very short length (roughly forty minutes) though.

Sirus Gaming: 7 / 10 by Jarren Navarrete

All in all, Juicy Realms is a fun little top-down shooter. It’s something that people of all ages who appreciate the genre can enjoy. The game never really becomes too violent or mature, so they’re safe for children to play. But as far as top-down shooters go, there isn’t really much to separate Juicy Realms from all the other top-down shooters to give it its own unique identity. But it’s definitely worth giving a shot.

Juicy Realm is an arcade shooter developed by Chinese SpaceCan Games as their debut project. The game was published by X.D. Network Inc., known for releasing an acclaimed beat'em up a game called ICEY.

Plot

The action of Juicy Realm is set in a newly discovered area of Earth. Humans have discovered a realm of plants inhabited by intelligent, mobile and highly dangerous flowers, fruit, and vegetables. The player assumes the role of one of the scientists dispatched to research the enemy threatening entire human race, and survive this confrontation.

Mechanics

Juicy Realm is a shooter, in which the players observe the action from the top-down perspective. Gameplay mechanics are relatively simple – the game is based on the twin-stick shooter formula. Developers have also added some roguelike elements to their production – thus players traverse randomly generated locations filled with treasures and monsters, never knowing what to expect, except one thing – the enemies always outnumber you, so death is a regular thing. Luckily, on their adventures, players acquire new pieces of gear and weapons that facilitate their efforts, as well as resources to expand the base holding e.g. the store.

Game modes

Juicy Realm features high replayability ratio, thus players can enjoy the game for many hours. Another incentive to prolong the time spent with this game is the local co-op mode.

Technical aspects

The game delivers simple, yet very pleasant visuals. Developers have implemented a rather cartoonish style which well contrasts with the demanding and quite brutal gameplay.
