About Arcane

Arcane is a fast-paced fantasy action game with both ranged and melee combat.

Choose your weapons, learn their unique mechanics, hone your playstyle and ascend the mountain.

Cool Features:

  • Pick your playstyle: If you're feeling active and want to move, then dodge and block projectiles. If you want to rely on your skill instead, then parry and deflect attacks with your reflexes and aim. There are many ways to play Arcane.
  • Experiment with magical weapons: Every weapon has vastly different mechanics. Some you swing, some you throw, others you guide like a missile. Mix and match which weapon you want in each hand and create some interesting combinations that suit your preferred playstyle.
  • Variety of different enemy types: Fight an assortment of ground and air based enemies as they attempt to halt your advance towards the peak.

I don't like wave shooters (why have I bought this?!). Please keep this in mind while reading this review. As weapons I selected two swords that you swing to realease some kind of beam that can hit multiple enemies at once. You need to wait for the beam to reach the far before you can swing again, very annoying! What else? I did not loke the simple cartoon type graphics. Well, could have seen this in store pictures already... (Once again: Why have I bought this?!)

Wave shooter with a few weapons to choose from to fight the waves of enemies. Weapons are interesting, you have a sword that sends a wave when you swing it, a couple of fists that go flying in the direction you are pointing, and a bow. While the weapons work fine, they are not as reliable as they should. And some enemies tend to get lost behind the map where you cant see them so you have to randomly shoot your weapons and hope you hit them to advance the level. Cant recommend even as a free experience, as it was a bit frustrating to actually play it, and i didnt feel like wanting to play more than my initial playthrough that lasted less than 10min.
