Secrets of Arcadia

What a well executed throwback to fun games. A great game that brings back all the best things about 8-bit gaming. Before things like loot boxes, dlc and season passes. Good gameplay and some creative ideas done well. Would easily recommend to anyone who's s fan of casual games. Good stuff.

Fun as hell. No grinding here; this is just a simple throwback. Does not take very long to defeat, but worth the buck I paid for it. Focus on gameplay and no restrictions type structure makes this game very fun, very easy. I like the fact that it saves anywhere. More games should focus on being actual fun. :-p

A love letter to old pick-up-and-play fantasy games with a deep customization system and a co-op mode that will pull you back in for multiple sessions. Right off the bat with its charming throwback aesthetic, Secrets of Arcadia promises to be a colorful romp through dark caves, mystical icy corridors, and old forgotten castles, harkening back to the games you played as a kid. SoA maneuvers this well-trod territory with style and never seems to overstay its welcome primarily thanks to the implementation of a (surprisingly versatile) ability system that allows players to purchase upgrades across class lines. As healing items and gems (the game’s primary currency) are plentiful, especially in the later phases of the game, the core rhythm of the game quickly settles into clearing levels to gain gems and unlocking as many upgrades as possible in order to play with the many different character customization options. As a solo experience the game is perfectly acceptable. You’ll find yourself upgrading your character, avoiding traps, and taking fewer hits as you learn to implement the game’s fluid dodge-and-strike rhythm. However, it must be said that the real fun to be had here is in venturing into the depths of Arcadia with a friend in co-op mode. This is where the ability to create and augment character builds on the fly really feels the most relevant and exciting.

Jogo 6/10, muito promissor, os desenvolvedores trarão grandes jogos no futuro! Jogabilidade: 7/10 jogar com o mouse não é muito bom para esse tipo de jogo( meu controle não funcionou, é de PS4) Interface: 6/10 falto as opções musica 5/10 Loop não é legal, e as longas não são muito legais Graficos 7/10 Pixelado simples, mas com poucos efeitos visuais que deixariam legal Dificuldade 3/10 ficou facil demais, quase não a desafio!

This is a great little retro game, especially for a co-op playthough. There's some cute referential humor and simplistic, but still fun arpg-ish gameplay. I can definitely recommend this for the price. Doubly-so if you've got someone to play with. I can't, however, leave this game's flaws unmentioned. There are a number of small issues, I'd love to see addressed that would make this not just a recommended game, but a game I could sing praises for. The gameplay is fun but does get rather samey as the levels go-on. Luckily right about the time boredom might set in, you reach the final boss. A litte more variety could cure this though. While the levels do change up tilesets and add a few more features as you get deeper, the layout is always your basic old-school roguelike style rooms and corridors. If the cave levels had more cave-shaped maps, and the castle level looked more like a building's floorplan rather than the same layout as previous levels, I'd be much happier. A few more enemy types with some different AIs and attack types would help as well. The other issue I have is the money. You get money quickly, and while it'll take a little bit to buy a full set of skills, you'll be able to do so well before you reach the end boss. And then you keep gatheing more money with nothing to spend it on! It'd be nice if the store sold potions (the only other collectible found throughout levels) and if money were a little bit harder to come by. All of that, however, are just recommendations to improve the game in the future. I've beaten it already, and will be playing it more to try out the other skills and classes. There's a lot of fun here for a few bucks, just don't expect to sink hundreds of hours into this. It's not going to replace your Nethacks, and Adoms. But you can't play those with a buddy on the couch either.

The game is fun until it becomes too repetitive, I think it's worth on sale.

This is very much a feel good game. Everything feels right. The amount of customization is so freeing. You can beat this game using any play style. Sound design is 10/10. The sound gems make is rewarding. I got the abilities I needed halfway through the game, but I still collected gems. The level design is varied, challenging, and exciting. The traps are clever without being damning. Secrets of Arcadia is short and fun. Money well spent with high replay value, both solo and coop.

This game is fun to play and includes some witty dialogue for added flavour! Lacks a challenge, but playing with mouse and keyboard does seem to add a little difficulty.

obwohl die skills ein bisschen langweilig daherkommen und bei einigen glitches kommt man nicht mehr raus und muss komplett neu beginnen. was ich aber nicht mache und damit landet das spiel in die tonne. aber ansonsten ok.

Jeu très ennuyeux. Au bout de 2 heures, je fais la même chose sans découvrir de difficulté, ni d'originalité dans les cartes ou les ennemis. On obtient trop vite les différentes armes donc peu d'intérêt de faire progresser les personnages. Un jeu qu'on peut néanmoins mettre en les mains d'un gamin pour l'initier à ce genre de jeu. Car sinon, vous avez certainement mieux à faire de vos loisirs.
