Arcane waves

Sure, it's cheap but It's just too basic & amateur to be much fun. My 14 year old step-son has made a game in this genre for school and apart from the visuals, this is only a small step up from that.

Arcane Waves is a fast-paced roguelike action game developed and published by WAOSON, built around the idea of surviving relentless enemy assaults while gradually crafting powerful character builds. Set within a strange Halloween-inspired dimension, the game follows three teenagers who become trapped in a cursed world filled with monsters and supernatural dangers. Their goal is simple but compelling: fight through increasingly difficult waves of enemies, unlock stronger abilities, and ultimately discover a portal that can return them home. While the story serves mainly as a backdrop for the gameplay, it establishes a fun and fitting atmosphere that supports the game's arcade-driven design. The core gameplay revolves around surviving enemy hordes while collecting upgrades that dramatically alter each run. Arcane Waves embraces the roguelike formula by encouraging experimentation, rewarding players who learn how different powers interact with one another. Every attempt presents opportunities to create unique builds, and much of the enjoyment comes from discovering combinations that transform a struggling character into a devastating force capable of clearing entire groups of enemies…

Just more trash, fix your system Steam !!!!

This is a really attractive game, especially in the character art! There's a mysterious thief named Dim, a redheaded fire master named July, an anthropomorphic (and very cute!) cat named Kate, and a secret character to unlock. There's also a plethora of baddies to vanquish, and a wide variety of weapons and upgrades to do it. Experiment and find the most efficient build to tear through the waves of foes!

[i]Arcane waves[/i] is a remarkably addicting game that hits a sweet spot in the level of engagement and strategy. The in-game movement requires focus to predict enemy movement to stay safe, but it's still relaxing enough to do while listening to a podcast or your favorite music. The strategic choices of upgrades can reward thoughtful play with a helpful edge, but it isn't so unforgiving of experimentation as to give you decision fatigue. There are multiple characters with their own campaigns, and one of them is a mysterious unlockable. Plus there are plenty of achievements to pursue, which are helpfully listed in the game, so there's a lot of fun to be had, along with the glorious number-go-up dopamine rush of seeing your stats climb high and higher. Try it today and test your mettle against the hordes!
