Junk Jack Review
I started playing this back on iOS before Steam, and loved it then. Now that it’s on Steam, I love it more (all hail PC, the master race). If you’re a fan of Terraria, Minecraft, Starbound et al, then I urge you to give this game a go.
Pros:
Very colorful! If you’re attracted to colorful pixels, vibrant blocks, mesmerizing lights, and a large selection of biomes each containing their own specific blocks, then Junk Jack is for you. Let’s not forget the tons of craftables and collectibles to be had. In looks, this game has it all. Controls are great and easy to get used to, especially for those that have already played the aforementioned games. Lots of options to customize your gameplay (i.e. audio and video settings, difficulty settings, and much more). Lots of different planets to explore. You can spend hours and hours exploring a planet, and still have more to explore. Mobs. Mobs. MOBS GALORE. This includes summonable(ish) boss mobs.
Cons:
Game can be a bit buggy. For instance, I’ve split stacks of items, placed them in my hotbar, and had them turn into “unidentified” items, and then disappear. This is a HUGE pain in the butt when you’re an avid builder such as I am. I’ve lost countless blocks, ore lumps, leaves, food, and armor. It doesn’t happen very often, but when it does, I’ve come close to testing my keyboard’s durability with a hammer. I have a deep loathing for 1 particular mob. Not sure what he’s called, but he’s a local resident of Lilith. His favorite thing to do is to drop killer bombs that destroy everything in their path. Under normal circumstances, I’d say learn to dodge, practice practice practice dodging. But in this case, I believe he’s a bit OP. Junk Jack could benefit HEAVILY from a magic mirror, or a potion that teleports you home, or some way of getting home quicker than walking. The fastest way I’ve found is to carry the Terra portals around with you (obviously this only works when visiting other planets). You want to make sure you don’t play on any harder difficult than normal, and make sure you keep the portal pieces in your hotbar lest things go sideways and you die (harder modes will cause you to drop your hotbar items upon death).
