  I bought this, yes wanting a game similar to Terraria. Yes it is but there are enough differences to make me happy with it not being some annoying knock off. It has a couple similarities to minecraft too. -blocks are bigger, so for me its easier to get around. -also lots of blocks to craft for building so its like minecraft to like that. -not as boss killing driven as Terraria. More collection driven. There still are mobs to kill. Don't worry. And there are bosses. -I love how you can collect tons of animals and even fish and make a fishtank with the fish. -You travel to different planets to find better ores/gear from mobs. -You find most of your crafting patterns in crates in your world, so keep searching :) or you can "cheat" and look on the try to look them up. I would say before you run saying its a knock off. Play it a while and give it a chance. The problem I have with it is there's just not a lot of info out there about it. And the game doesn't teach you a lot. So I think some people jump in and get confused and can't find stuff when they try to look it up. Overall I love this game. The devs are still working on it and I would say totally give it a try if you like Terraria or Minecraft type games.

  [h1] This game feels empty [/h1] I bet this game could be better, but it just feels incomplete. I am going to list the problems with the game, in hopes you can decide if you want to buy the game yourself. [h1]Cost:[/h1] The amount of content (or lack thereof) should make this game about $9, give or take, but currently the game is at $16.99. If you are going to buy this game, I suggest you buy it on sale, or spend your money elsewhere. If you are concerned with my game hours (or lack thereof), I have played and have completed the Junk Jack X mobile app, and while playing the steam version, have noticed the same issues. But, the (Apple) app is priced at $4.99 (Google play is priced at $6.99), while the steam is more then 3x that price, and no additional content worth that price. [h1]Combat:[/h1] The combat in this game feels vary clunky. I think they were going for a sort of Minecrafty sort of approach where they only made combat half decent, to not distract the player form the main game, but to be used as a sort of novelty. The problem with the "novelty combat" approach is how it deals with armor and tools: [list] [*]There are hundreds of different amours, but they are unfortunately either too hard to find, or too grindy to attain, compared to the ore armors, so you’ll probably skip them in normal gameplay. [*]The ore amours all feel the same, except for a couple of novelty (but practically useless) set bonuses, that won't make or break your decision of if you should make the higher-tier amour (except the (Spoilers) [spoiler]Choice of raw defense and attack or resistance to environmental hazards in the final tier[/spoiler]). [*]The weapons of Junk Jack also have the same conflicts as the armors, except how there are different weapon types, such as swords, spears (which is like a sword, except it can be pointed) and Bows (Shoots arrows). It is also important to note that there are three different types of damage: Piercing (caused by bows and spears) slashing (caused by swords) and blunt (caused by hammers and mauls), though you will rarely have to consider this, as your weapon choice will usually be based on the speed, playstyle, and damage of the weapon. [/list] Similar to the weapons and the armor (I can see a pattern growing), the monsters have lots of variety, but unlike the weapons, the monsters can significant differences depending on the type and the planet they are from. But some (and the game itself) may argue that the point of the game is building, Mining, taming etc, so let's talk about that. [h1]Building:[/h1] The biggest problem with building is how your character is 1 block tall. In other sandbox games, they have the character 2, 3, and even 4 blocks tall, but in Junk Jack, they decided to shake things up (and not in a good way). The taller the character, the more detail you can fit in a small space, allowing more creative freedom, but in Junk Jack, the character’s shortness makes detailed builds massive in comparison, encouraging ether massive, unwieldy builds, or small, boring builds. It is also annoying how there are lots of furniture that you may find underground, but when you break them, no item drops. This is unfortunate, because if they were obtainable, or they became craftable, you could have much more detailed and creative builds. [h1]Mining:[/h1] Arguably the best thing Junk Jack is the Mining. Each planet has different caves and ores to mine, and the micro-biomes and buildings can be a breath of fresh air. The variety of mobs truly shines in the caves, and it is cool to find the monsters matching with the surrounding environment. Your character being one block tall is perfect for easy and non-tedious mining (Which I think was the reason they did it in the first place). Overall, I think mining was (and should be) the focus of the game, but they later decided to say the game's focus was building for some reason. [h1]Taming/Breeding:[/h1] There’s not much to say here. You can tame animals with a Taming Collar, and use it as a pet, and you can get milk from cows, eggs from chickens [strike]etc[/strike](that’s it). You can breed them too, if you have an animal stable built for that specific animal, and provide food, keep them happy and you know, a have male and a female that love each other very much. Other that that, well, that’s it. I hope in the future, they add more use for tamed animals, but in the meantime, there not that useful. [h1]Platforming:[/h1] Junk Jack’s platforming is one of the worst offenders. The character is too slow, and falls so fast, that it feels awkward, like the gravity is super strong, but you can still jump high. The character sticks to ladders like super-glue, and the speed that you fall in water, and the slowness you swim, makes you feel like a rock. It’s nice that you don’t skid on surfaces, and fall of ladders, but I think they overdid it. [h1]Planets:[/h1] Junk Jack has 12 different planets, each having their own ores, biomes, flora, fauna, blocks, backgrounds, and more. The planets are the biggest breath of fresh air, because there is both quantity and quality, the glorious balance that Junk Jack has so much trouble dealing with. To get to a portal, you need to go to hell and back and waste hours searching for just [u]ONE[/u] of THREE portal pieces required to go to the next progression phase (not to mention how the dam portal doesn’t even look good). Some planets have special weather, but they don't affect the player, except for the acid rain of Xeno. It is also important to mention how each world is procedurally generated, but there are almost never any landmarks, mountains, or monuments to remember, so if you make two of the same planet, they will look the same. [h1]Crafting:[/h1] The game allows for two styles of crafting: [list] [*]Standard Crafting - A crafting grid, where you need to arrange materials in a (let’s use the word [i]abstract[/i]) shape that vaguely resembles the item in a 3x3 grid (insert a joke about Minecraft here). You probably won't use it unless you feel like remembering hundreds of those [i]abstract[/i] shapes I was talking about. [*]Simple crafting - A mildly difficult to navigate layout of craftable items. To add an item to the "craft book", you ether need to attain the item itself, a related cousin or relative, or use a "craftnote", which can be found occasionally while mining or in crates found throughout the world. This means if you want to get unique items / tools that are needed to participate in some of the main advertised mechanics of the game, you will have to ether spend years searching your current world for crates that will might have the correct craftnote, or go to fresh worlds and farm for crates. [/list] [h1]Final note:[/h1] This game tries to be a "relaxing sandbox experience focused on building and improving your home" but when I play it, I just feel the empty gameplay and poor design. Sure, there's "Lots of loot to collect!" but most of it is ether meaningless, too tedious to collect to be useful, or Just filler. The amount of content and potential this game has is shocking, but the way it's used is just empty and sad. And I might give this game a positive review, if it was in early access, but it’s not. It's $17. The updates, instead of fixing the core problems, using the hidden potential in the game's mining focused gameplay, many tiers of armor, or 12 planets, the updates just add more "stuff" onto the pile, instead off adding polish to core gameplay. All these problems are why I don’t like Junk Jack. I hope this review can help you make your mind on this game. [h1]PS:[/h1] 3.1% reach the final planet, [spoiler]Magmar[/spoiler], while 2.6% go far enough to make the final tier of tools (Made from the ore on [spoiler]Magmar[/spoiler]), [spoiler]Titanium, and / or Galvanium[/spoiler]. So, it appears the [u]vast[/u] majority don’t even play the game to the "end". I wonder why…

  It's a Terraria clone with almost half the features but almost double the price...

  I never write reviews, but I felt like I owe this to anyone who considers this game. I got completely misled by the other reviews. It's all a sham. Go to the subreddit for this game. It looks like a bunch of fake accounts made by the developers. The whole thing seems fishy to me. Who cares if it's a clone? We all like these sorts of games. The issue is that it's a BAD clone. There is no point to the game, there are no bosses, there is no story. You build a house and raise some animals. This alone would be fine, I'm a HUGE fan of games like Stardew Valley, however, the mechanics and gameplay are not intuitive, poorly explained, and once you understand them, they are poorly balanced. This game feels very amateurish, and I get the feeling from reading around online that not only does nobody actually play it extensively, but that the company posts all over getting fake reviews. The whole thing seems VERY suspicius that such an obviously poor quality game has such high reviews. Do NOT buy this game, it would be a waste.

  This is essentially a far more linear Terraria clone. It's far from being terrible, but it could be much better. Pros: + The controls are suffice. + The game mechanics appear to function properly, no bugs. + Textures, lighting, and environments are great. + Animations are smooth and unique. + Difficulty is very flexible to help younger audiences and bad players (like me). Cons: - Each dimension after the first is more or less the same; small dungeons, easy and difficult monsters, chests, and ores. - Not a whole lot to explore. Dungeons are small and the majority of them contain nothing of use. - The surface is barren of anything but trees and animals. Nothing to explore or find. - A lot of recipes. Normally this isn't a problem, but you have to discover recipes from recipe notes to craft them. You'll spend the majority of the game searching for these notes just to do the one thing you want to. = For example, finding a recipe for a specific tier of key to open chests you find in dungeons. Don't have the key or the recipe to make the key? Can't open the goodies! Overall, the game itself feels unfinished and gets boring quite quickly. If it wasn't a 7-year-old game, I'd definetely recommend it. However, it sadly is and I don't see it getting any better anytime soon.

  A shallow Terraria clone with a cumbersome UI. Building is a pain, because if you want to move something, the deconstruct tool demolishes everything in that square. E.g., a ladder up to a shelf/bridge, both will get destroyed if you want to move one. Or a crafting station on a shelf? Ditto. Crafting comes in two flavors, simple or advanced. Advanced is a la Minecraft, where if you know the recipes, you're good. Simple you need to find the recipe (one of hundreds) through mining for boxes randomly scattered throughout the world. Oh, and some of THOSE recipes are too illegible or badly damaged to actually provide you anything. Combat and power scaling is a joke, ramping from your basic sword of 1.0 Dmg to a Boss sword of 1.7 Dmg. HUGE!! Ahem. Do yourself a favor and stick with Terraria. If you must buy this, get it for more than 50% off.

  I was hoping for a more open-ended Terraria. It looked like a cross between Minecraft, Terraria, Blockheads, and a little bit like craft the world. Except, those games are fun. Junk Jack looked like a great game. But, it's not. First, the mobs are tiny. You basically run around swinging your weapon the entire time underground. It is also just extrememly easy to find stuff. I think I had the portal to the next world within 2 to 3 hours. And that was almost all mining underground. There weren't any traps or powerful mobs or bosses gaurding the pieces. You basically run in and snatch it. So basically- Good: polished graphics multiple worlds is a cool idea Bad: tiny mobs too easy wierd meny/inventory thing If any of you want to try the game out go ahead. I probably only actually have 10-12 hours actually playing the game since I let it idle a lot. I'm going back to playing fun games.

  I had this on my (Android) phone first, and loved it to bits except for wishing I could zoom out a little -- so I got it for PC, and then felt like it lost something in the conversion from tap/drag to mouse/keyboard. Playing it on a tablet would maybe be the perfect version. It's still lovely, however. For me, it's the very chill lovechild of Terraria and Starbound. If you're wanting exciting combat funtimes, you'll probably find it lacking; the blobbies and skellies and etc. are still there, but they're more variety than threat. If you enjoy spending a couple hours digging up interesting blocks to further decorate your home base, tho, or assembling a garden next to your flock of sheep, it's super pleasing.

  Junk Jack is a combination of Terraria and No Man's Sky. The concept was interesting, but the implementation is lackluster. [h1]GAMEPLAY[/h1] Interesting for the first 3 portals, until you realize that every portal is the same as where you first spawned - just different colors, slightly different looking mobs (even though they function the same), and slightly different blocks for decoration. Unlike Terraria, you dig underground in any portal, look for a glowing orb with a skull in it, crack it open with a hammer [i](or dig the block below the orb)[/i], and fight the boss. It's really easy to kill every boss. I used [spoiler] a rare drop weapon from the Terra boss (world you spawn in) to kill bosses until I got a faster weapon that also had lifesteal. [/spoiler] This method works for every single boss and I never felt a need to upgrade. The only real reason I changed equipment was for the luck bonus. Bosses also have no real special ability either. When you spawn the boss, they spawn with fairly harmless mini-mobs and the scariest thing the boss does is break blocks with a ranged attack. The ores are useful for tools (pickaxes and shovels) and nothing else. You'll never really need to fish, or use a bow and arrow. In fact, it's a lot easier to just play this game full melee anyway since the bosses can just dig away from you anyway. Healing items are next to useless since you're only really hit when a mob literally walks upto you. Portal pieces aren't that hard to find, either. I played this game with my girlfriend on the largest possible world and sky we could set, and it still only took upto 1 hour per portal. The last 2 portals had their chests extremely close to each other which made it way too easy. Crafting seems like it's going to take forever if you use simple mode because you [b]require[/b] the recipe to make something. Just switch into the advanced mode and use the wikipedia. 95% of the recipes you find won't be what you're looking for, and there's over 250 to find. That's overkill and definitely not necessary. Encrusting is something that becomes important if you want the game to be faster and easier, but not necessary since a lot of the equipment and weapons you get as drops are already over powered in comparison to the monsters you face. [h1]GRAPHICS[/h1] Polished and clean with a Terraria-esque feel. Nothing much to say about them. [h1]OVERALL[/h1] I don't suggest it. I'd rather just replay Terraria instead. This game becomes too repetitive and is simply too boring.

  I quite like this game. Its like terraria or starbound for people with bad computers. Worlds load really fast on default settings. There are quite a few negatives however or things some might find to be negatives. 1. Only 1 accessory slot and accessories are hard to craft. 2. Pets are only vanity when equiped. 3. Your only allowed 1 defensive potion buff at a time. 4. Its uses minecraft Light level decides spawning instead of Terraria player placed blocks prevent spawing. 5. Every planet feels like they use the same terrain generation on the surface with a different splash of paint 6. A ton of enemies very obviously share the same AI 7. You can't search crafts by item used in it (like searching wood widget and see every craft involving it). 8. No in game help or clues how to make potions (And quite a few potion ingrediants are rare drops). 9. Items fly into open hotbar slots (very annoying when farming) 10. No crafting while doing something else (similar to 7 days to die) to take some pain out of simple crafting. 11. No bosses or epic boss loot. 12. Lava destroys all items, no matter how important like portal pieces. 13. Buckets don't stack 14. Tons of animals you'd think you could tame but cannot like boars, foxes, squirrels, ect. 15. No Npcs to live with you like terraria/starbound. Or shop keepers. 16. Tons of food everywhere, but no hunger or thirst even on the hardest difficulty. 17. Tons of farm animals, but no horses or mounts. 18. Early game its easy to feel like your not progressing due to ore rarity. My second planet I unlocked was seth where I basically just found the same ores as terra. 19. Best ore for planet type are VERY VERY RARE. 20. Low Tool durability and slow mining speed. (even titanium tools feel like they break too quickly relative to how rare thier ores are) 21. Sometimes the music just stops for long periods of time. 22. You can craft a clock, but carrying it won't display the time like terraria/project zomboid. 23. When crafting it won't take into consideration whats in nearby chests. 24.Animals just instantly respawn if you leave an area and return so long as there is grass and its day (similiar to old school minecraft). So you can get all the cow, boar, bacon, ect meat and leather you want in a jiffy. 25. Enemies can't break doors. And can only get you if they spawn inside your base due to light levels. 26. Rare Treasure don't do anything, can't be sold, and don't say anything on them. 27. Things often have to be used or worn to add to collection. 28. No cool accesory granted abilities like teraria. 29. no repairing or enchanting items. 30. Ladders can only be placed from the bottom up. And ladder climb speed is terribly slow Vs minecraft ladders or terraria's ropes. That out of the way. This game has hundreds of blue print pages to find (Just a shame none of them list potion recipies) that show you how to craft things so you don't need a wiki like you do with minecraft. And theres a lot of planets to explore. Some end game enemies hit very hard on hardest difficulty settings, like 50% of my hp in a single hit in full unencrusted titanium armor. Undead burn in sunlight, animals drown in water, lava kills most things (but sadly destroys all drops). Theres a large number of redstone like items to create (more than i've seen in unmodded minecraft or terraria). You can farm (Though its extremely easy and requires no watering. But getting seeds can be quite hard for things like fruit trees), raise animals (more demanding), go fishing, hunt down the MANY MANY rare drop items, try to collect all the portal pieces to visit all 12 worlds (Not that you need too to reach end tier). Collect every treasure, all clothing, every pet, ect.
