Despite some obvious effort, the game is just not fun. The combat is lacking any sort of teeth. The enemies are just spaced evenly around the map. The coolest thing is the centaurs, but I couldn't really enjoy it because the rest of it was so bad. https://youtu.be/2f4dE3gRluw
Somehow reminds me of Might and Magic 6 (although others might say it more resembles M&M 9 ?) Anyway, there were multiple games of this genre (first person, fantasy world exploring, party based RPG) Probably a rare genre nowadays. We all know turn-based party-wise crawlers, or top-down RPGs. Arcante feels like a variation, that wants to keep the action (free movement) of the M&M 6, but at the same time modernize the clunky spell casting (which required the player to pause the game, even with memorized / active spell, to get the upper hand). Arcante does not have the turn-based option, but simplifies the extra interactions to max 4 abilities (spells) per class, all bound to keystrokes. The free-movement style did allow me to adapt fighting styles for main enemy archetypes (melee, ranged) and while you can quickly learn when to jump back from a dangerous swordsman, also you can quickly learn how to side-step (dodge) enemy's projectiles (let it be arrows or spells) For crowd control, there are abilities that can hit multiple enemies, so should you get swarmed, you still have a chance to survive and eventually defeat all enemies. Level up is quite linear, you simply get one point, that you can distribute either among stats or skills (that you can learn in starting town) Good part is, that despite the stats are super important, you can still invest in the skills, as there are well known 'magical barrels', that grant you +2 to random stat (or rarely substract 1 point) As for the difficulty curve, it is under player's control, despite enemies respawn fast, you can always plan your route of exploration wisely and visit 'safe' areas, before you grow powerful enough to move onward. Action + RPG is rarely successful combination, but in Arcante, I like it. I do recommend this game.

Updated review: In general I love such games (close to M&M6-9) but this one needs some work though. And I still can't understand why it was not released as an early access game. Not much variety and depth so far and the size of the map / the amount of content is quite small (roughly 6-8 times smaller than M&M6), Don't get me wrong, I'd really like to give a thumbs up after improvement and more content, but for now I just can't recommend it. Hope the dev will work on it... Might update my review in a few months. Cheers!
This game has the the old Might and Magic vibe. Could use a bit more content, more quests, characters, and story but I am enjoying some nostalgia. If you are looking for an old fashion romp through fantasy ville give it a try. Finished it up. Took ab out 9 hours. Didn't find a use for the bird head statue or the second city riddle, but the ending was...interesting. Still mostly enjoyed it despite some quirks. Very old fashioned might and magic approach to the genre, but it was a fun romp down memory lane. To the creator, good luck and I hope you are successful enough to try again.
Don't buy this. No updates or fixes since October 2020. Now, the scam: Luca Favano released ARCANTE THE DEFINITIVE EDITION, IN DECEMBER 2021, fully priced for owners of this original older edition. The DEFINITIVE EDITION is just this game with just some aditional content. No option for buying the updated/patched/somewhat fixed edition at a lower price for the owners of this original game. No updates for the new either. I almost expect a third Ultimate version fully priced any time now.
Combat is dull
If I had to sum up this game in one sentence it would be "good intentions seeking polish".
it is a nice smal game, stil need a lot of polish. hope the dev get a bigger team for the next 1
Super fun old school RPG. Quick to pick up and you can tell there is lots to learn and explore.
Its a cool project, new might and magicesk game. from what I understand its still quite small and at times a bit clunky but definitely worth a try.
