独創的な戦闘システムが光る西部劇風ターンストラテジー [h3]戦闘[/h3] 本作最大の特徴は、敵味方が同時に行動するターン制バトル。 一般的なターンストラテジーのような順番に行動するのではなく、プレイヤーは敵の次の行動を確認したうえでコマンドを選択し、その結果を同時に進行させていく。 さらに移動はマス単位ではなくドット単位で調整可能。敵の攻撃をギリギリで回避したり、地形や障害物を利用したりと、非常に緻密な立ち回りが求められる。 感覚としては、リアルタイムストラテジーを一定時間ごとに停止させながら指示を出すような独特の戦闘システム。敵の行動を先読みし、スキルやアイテムを駆使して不利な状況を切り抜けるのが実に楽しい。 戦闘はいつでも即リトライ可能。1戦闘も短めにまとまっているため、ごり押しが通用しないシビアなバランスながらストレスは少なく、難易度的には2章の後半から歯ごたえがある戦闘が楽しめる。 [h3]ストーリー[/h3] 物語は復讐をテーマにした西部劇風の群像劇。 章ごとに主人公が変化し、それぞれ異なる物語が描かれる。各章の合間に流れる挿入歌も印象的で、作品全体を包む哀愁や悲壮感を引き立てていた。 ドット絵によるシンプルな演出ながら雰囲気作りは非常に上手く、大げさに言えば一本の映画を観ているような感覚を味わえた。 一方で、日本語翻訳の品質は残念。 大筋は理解できるものの、会話の繋がりが不自然だったり、噛み合っていないように感じる場面が少なくない。本作は会話による選択肢や人物描写が重要な作品なだけに、没入感を損ねていたのは惜しいところ。 所謂、機械翻訳ではなく、日本語を多少なりとは理解している人が翻訳した感じで、重厚な世界観の本作でなければ“味”として楽しめたかも。 クリアまでのプレイ時間は約15時間。 実績コンプには複数周回がほぼ必須。取り返しのつかない選択肢も多く、ヒントもほとんどないため、実績目的なら複数セーブ推奨。 [h3]さいごに[/h3] 翻訳面には不満が残るものの、敵味方同時進行の戦闘システムは非常に独創的で魅力的。 戦闘システムだけでも十分にプレイする価値のある一本。 少し変わったターン制ストラテジーを遊びたい人にはおすすめ👍 [h3]おまけ[/h3] ・ 章をまたいで所持金と消費アイテムは引き継がれない(装備品のみ引き継ぎ) ・ 取り返しのつかない選択肢が多いため複数セーブ推奨 ・ 長考時に出現するお邪魔キャラ(幽霊)はオプションでOFF可能 ・ アシストモード(戦闘スキップ、無限ダイナマイト、幽霊なし)あり ・ 難易度設定はなし ・ 体験版(Demo)は英語のみ
Man Steam is really killing it with the recommendations this summer. What an amazing game I've never heard of. Really great story and especially atmosphere, with a superb combat as well. Writing could be better, but it does the job. I love real time with pause combat systems, although this game doesn't let you pause at will, every character gets one move/ability and then the game plays out the turn. You can also upgrade/choose what abilities to get and the game changes drastically when you get 2 characters. The rest of the game is a narrative, choose your own adventure type of game, with a bit of exploration and a lot of choices to make (which hopefully matter). Absolutely loved it. I planned on playing for a few min to see what it's like and almost 3h later here I am. Highly, massively recommended.
Masterpiece in so many forms. Storytelling, music, gameplay, everything
Art was very pretty and the music was nice. Gameplay was perfectly passable. I could not tolerate the quality of writing.
Awesome game, the pixel style is amazing and the story touching. So cool so see games telling you great postcolonial tales.
It’s a fine indie fighting romp, peppered with RPG-lite set pieces, about 10h of pretty good and rather original fun. While it’s advertised as a turn-based game, in fact the gameplay is so dynamic and focused around constant movement and trading blows that it resembles true action games. Owing to its Mesoamerican mood and pretty fun presentation, it’s a real eye-catcher.
为什么会有人想要养沙虫呢?
Great game with really good storytelling. I thought the combat system won't be for me but I am surprised - it was really fun. Soundtrack is a masterpiece. Definitely can give this game 9/10.
Didn't get on with the combat system at all.
Arco is a wonderful and gorgeous tale of player freedom with a story that gives you enough to care while not overstaying its welcome. It is a medium-length game that can double or triple in playtime if you are enticed to uncover its secrets or retry scenarios for different outcomes. Though I wish the enemies offered a greater variety in attacks and strategies, I still found it very engaging and undeniably fun. The level of quality on all levels clearly justifies the price, if you're on the fence about getting this game.
