“作为一款国产的俯视角肉鸽动作游戏，《墨境》具有高水准的美术质量，潇洒写意的水墨风，韵味十足的中式场景，刻画了古典志怪、诡话奇谭的书中世界“墨境”，视觉观感上细腻精致、尤为突出。
肉鸽系统上也具有独特而新颖设计，玩家可以通过阴阳墨宝快速的构筑起一套核心流派，并影响宠物墨啾的形态；整体难度较低、构筑速度较快、且基于各种奇珍、丹药带来的数值叠加，塑造了膨胀的输出、十足的爽点。虽说还有提升空间，”

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“"Realm of Ink" is a sizable project with rich gameplay and content. While we aim for a flawless official launch, as a newly established independent game studio, we acknowledge that our experience and resources are still growing. We recognize that only by relying on genuine feedback and suggestions from players can we continuously refine our product and deliver the best gaming experience possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to launch the official version 1.0 in the first half of next year, 2025. Before that, we will maintain high-frequency game optimization and content updates. In order to facilitate your understanding of our future development plans, we will also release a detailed update roadmap after the early access version is launched.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to feature the 1.0 official release with extensive content expansion based on the Early Access version, along with optimizations based on player feedback. The additional content in the full version is planned to include:
  • 1 brand-new character forms will be added in version 1.0.
  • Adding more Ink Gem skills and Perks, expanding the variety of gameplay styles
  • Introducing more Ink Pet gameplay mechanics
  • Introducing additional bosses and boss mechanics
  • Introducing more unique environments and interactive structures
  • Increasing the challenge difficulty and combat mechanics
  • The ultimate chapter level and the ultimate boss battle, as well as more plotlines of the Ink Realm world will be added.
  • Introducing more special gameplay mechanics and encounters with unique NPCs
  • Expanding the Martial Arts system, introducing more diverse combat actions
  • Enhancing the storytelling and revealing the final stage of the first storyline
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We aim for the Early Access version to be a sincere offering, presenting all completed content thus far. This version will include:
  • Complete 4-act levels and 8 bosses, and the final boss - the Book's Spirit
  • The playable character, Red the Swordswoman, with 9 distinct forms and weapons
  • Full gameplay for 22 Ink Gem skills across 4 tiers
  • Full gameplay for 15 Ink Pets across 4 tiers and over 40 forms
  • Over 130 Perks to provide diverse building possibilities
  • The first layer of world-building and approximately 50% of the storyline
  • 70% of the content and functions of the Fox Inn are open
  • Ink Pet system, Ink Realm Anecdote
  • Endless mode gameplay for challenge seekers
”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Upon the official release of version 1.0, we plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features. As mentioned earlier, we offer a substantial amount of content for the Early Access version. Nevertheless, we aim to provide a highly competitive price during the Early Access phase to lower the entry barrier for players.
If you purchase the game during the Early Access phase, there will be no additional charge when version 1.0 is released.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will actively engage with players through the Discord community (discord.gg/X63T277eVn), listening attentively to feedback, whether it's bug reports or suggestions. We will respond promptly and give careful consideration to all community input.”

“Beautiful action inbound.”
IGN

“With the launch of its free demo, I jumped in to get a feel for how it played – really the key factor for me in any good roguelike – and was impressed by what I saw.”
PCGamesN

“The game's swish inky art direction is its obvious silver bullet, or perhaps, silver rope javelin.”
