Niche Spotlight – Juicy Realm

This is Niche Spotlight. In this column, we regularly introduce new games to our fans, so please leave feedback and let us know if there’s a game you want us to cover!

Today’s Spotlight is Juicy Realm, a top-down roguelite shooter by SpaceCan and X.D. Network Inc.

In the distant future, humanity encounters a massive problem: plants have suddenly grown to gigantic proportions, sprouted limbs, and gained a taste for human flesh. You are one of humanity’s last chances for survival. You can watch a trailer for the game above.


Travel deep into plant-controlled territory to uncover the cause of the sudden mutation of the planet’s flora. Build an upgradable camp between missions to unlock new features, and gather an arsenal of powerful weapons. The developers just released a big 2.0 update, which you can read about here.

Juicy Realm is currently available on Windows PC and Mac via Steam for $9.99, and its currently 30% off. The game is supposed to be coming to PS4, mobile, and Switch sometime later this year.

Here’s a rundown of the game:


The Order of Things… Disrupted

“Many years in the future, humanity looks upward in despair at plants, now standing atop the food chain. How could they have been so arrogant…”

Only when plants began sprouting arms and legs and developing self-awareness did humanity truly begin to understand the menace that these once photosynthesis-dependent creatures posed. No one could understand how the plants took this large evolutionary leap in such a short time, something that took their animal counterparts millions of years to accomplish. One thing is certain, now is the time for humanity to make their stand in order to stay at the top of the food chain.

As one of the first explorers of the newly discovered plant empire, you must continuously drive deeper and deeper into the enemy’s lair. Defeat bizarre and colorful fruits while retrieving new gear, weapons, and resources to defend yourself and expand your base camp. If you’re unable to defeat the overwhelming destructive force of the plant army alone, invite a few friends to lend a hand and help you discover the secrets behind this strange new world.

Key Features:

  • Rougelike elements with random zones, treasures, and monsters
  • Loads of special weapons and items
  • Unique and incredibly detailed art style
  • Expand your camp and unlock new features
  • Solo campaign and local multiplayer
