100% Orange Juice

100% Orange Juice

I’m revamping this review, as my last one which I had made months ago was meant as a in-joke, which probably isn’t the ideal approach. So, where do I begin?

100% Orange Juice is a board game featuring characters across multiple games from the Japanese indie group daidai (who are better known as OrangeJuice among the populace). The game premise is to move around the board obtaining stars and/or wins from successful battles, which allow you to increase your Norma level, which in turn allows access to cards. Cards play a vast role in 100% Orange Juice by changing the scenarios in and outside of battle. Some common examples are having access to two dice for movement, healing yourself after a battle, and setting traps which can slow down other players. Due to the versatility of cards, you will find yourself always trying out different deck creations.

After many hours of play, I think it’s time I finally put in a review as a means of advice to potential buyers.

100% Orange Juice is good/challenging game that will give you many triumphs and tragedies. Many negative reviews you may read might say things like “games are very long and require almost no skill” or “you just throw dice”. I disagree with these sentiments entirely. If you intend to buy OJ, you need to understand it’s a very specific kind of game. This is a dice board game, where RNG and skill take center stage. If you intend to buy this game and assume you can master it and win every game, and have a perfect W/L ratio, prepare to be disappointed. It is impossible to master OJ and sometimes the game can be extremely upsetting. So why do people like me keep coming back?

There are a lot of puzzles to solve with this product which makes it a good value for the price, especially if you get it on sale as I did. The multiple difficulty settings that allow you to choose the number of pieces and the fact that you can work on multiple puzzles at a time since your progress auto saves are greatly appreciated, as is the button to separate edge and inner pieces, and a lot of the art is pretty nice, but all of these positives fail to make up for janky controls and very poor UI. I’ve had more trouble with selecting and moving a piece than I have with actually figuring out where they go on the 70 piece option, turning what should be a relaxing way to spend time into an often frustrating affair. I’ve finished 6 or 7 puzzles at this point and couldn’t honestly say I enjoyed any of them. I do intend to push through the rest of them at this point, but I still haven’t ruled out going for a refund instead.

Flavours of Fluff

Cascade Cafe is a well-framed brain teaser. What you see is what you get - a relaxing puzzle with a warm atmosphere. It’s all about combining tiles, matching values, creating paths, collecting usable items, setting traps, exploiting board gimmicks, and using auxiliary abilities that usually do something listed above. Sounds like a lot, but it’s actually all there is. Think ahead, enjoy the well-animated cascade effects you cause, and don’t sweat it. Despite never playing the Cascade board game, I breezed through this one with relative ease. Not prodded by hardships or a sense of achievement, but having the calm disposition and pristine autumn melancholy in my sails.

–———————————————-

I love puzzles, especially 5000pc. Although this table top mod’s maximum pc is 2000, it is enough to occupy your time and mind like doing a real puzzle.

This game is created by a collaboration of 3 persons in a community where they meet up for Pie and Puzzle Sunday : ) before the the 2019 Pandemic.

+Strong Positives(Great choice of Software) :

Those who have tried ‘playing’ Tabletop/board games on Steam would know that, those ‘games’ do not come with instructions and tutorial, hence most of the time 2 players would be confused and just be flipping or throwing chips and cards around the board as there is no program to set the rules for where the chess pieces can go or cannot go.

If you like puzzles then you’ll like this game. Very relaxing to sit and do this in the evening with my glass of wine.

Samurai Cat

Good gameplay, good idea, but you should fix the slow motion when the golden mouse is the last one, because if the player tries to attack it more than twice, they won’t want to see slow motion if it’s not dead yet

Chess’Extra

Tried it out with a friend of mine, it isn’t very well made but gets the job done.

UI could use improvement, sounds could be introduced properly.

It’s free, but it’s a mixed bag. Leaving as “Not Recommended” since there are better versions for free or paid on Steam and on the Web.
