About Arcus

Arcus is a fantasy action game where failure is just the next step in the story. Use a bow to aim and fire arrows at invading enemies. Swing your sword at any angle to get past enemy defenses. Spend resources between missions to buy special arrow types and increase your chances of success while you solve the mystery behind the new undead skeleton faction in a land where magic has been made taboo.

The gameplay is nothing to write home about. I like the concept of moving from tower to tower, but shooting isn't the smoothest. The swordplay mechanic was fun, albeit a bit lengthy at times. That being said, this little gem shines with its story. The cutscenes are incredibly charming and convey so much with the limited resources. The real reason I'm writing this review, though, is the final act. The last 2 missions are genuinely incredible, and the atmosphere the final moments create and hold you in is immaculate. I wish I could experience that again for the first time, because it truly is phenomenal. I love how resetting your save was woven into the experience, though I won't say anything further because this absolutely deserves your time. It can be beaten in an hour to 90 minutes if you strive for all the content, and it's time well spent. I did have to use Steam Achievement Manager to unlock the achievement for all cosmetics because the currency count bugged after a point, but nothing actually blocked progression so not the end of the world. Certified Bunlith banger 10/10

Fun little game where you defend *something* from skeletons. Some small issues here and there but outside of a soft-lock on the last level it was pretty dang good for a free game. [spoiler]I totally ship miss MC and the witch though...[/spoiler]

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
