Arcadegeddon Review (Steam)

Our Arcadegeddon Review introduces us to Gilly, the owner of a local arcade, who is trying to save his business from a faceless mega-corporation. To do so he takes all the top arcade games and connects them all to make a super game, unfortunately, the mega-corporation, Fun Fun Co., hacks the game and injects a virus. You and your friends need to save the game and the last hometown arcade.

• Uses its own language in both written and spoken. (don’t worry it has English)
• Rooms and areas randomize every run.

• Runs can go on forever.
• Small gameplay loop.
• Has a handy offline mode.
• Excellent soundtrack.
• Revive option.
• Very fast-paced.
• Break crates for ammo and cash.
• Loot rarity for weapons and hacks.
• Hacks are buffs like more health or more damage with certain guns, only good for that run.
• Chests are color-coded for the type of loot you may get from it.
• Satisfying gunplay.
• Nailed the excitement of opening chests.
• Stats and MVP awards between areas in mp.
• Powers are earned and equipped onto two slots, they regen over time and vary in what they do from damage to healing. Level up and U lock them, you can change them at waypoint areas.
• Waypoint areas are what I call the small rooms that appear generally halfway through a level, here you can buy new guns, refill ammo and health, buy a difficulty raise and swap out any powers you have unlocked and play a quick game of PvP.
• Cheap price point.
• PvP mode grants unique rewards and plays like a standard shooter with whacky guns.
• The main hub can house other players.

Arcadegeddon Review Cons:

• Long matchmaking times.
• The time between areas in multiplayer is long.
• The text is really small and hard to read.
• You have to start at the low level first every run and it takes a long time to build it up.
• In multiplayer you cannot ping items or locations.
• In multiplayer, the loot is first come first served.
• The initial start is slow as you do errands and tutorial sections that are slow.
• No way to skip parts you may have done before.
• Levels and locations repeat way too often.
• Cannot import your save from another platform.
• At the moment you are grinding for nothing more than cosmetics and new powers but even then that takes a while.
• The runs can get very long.
• A lot of grinding to get cool gun skins and outfits.
