[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_slop][b]Warning: AI Slop[/b][/url] This game store page is made using soulless AI generated content.[/quote] "Arkhaanis One" is an extremely poorly made 2D retro pixel hack and slash side scroller with no redeeming features or interest as a game for gamers. It's slapped together with Godot's 2D engine, and unlike the rather decent Godot 3D engine, it's garbage, and has never been used to create a successful game. It has however enabled a lot of valueless 2D retro pixel garbage to pollute Steam, giving gamers something to avoid when trying to find actual decent games. What do you do in the game? All you do here is hack and slash at various pixel blobs. There's some minor progression aspects but no real meaningful plot or narrative, that's too much work so the devs just went with score attack. As mentioned, the store page features really godawful, "wrong" looking AI slop instead of genuinely and sincerely created marketing assets. While that isn't relevant to the game (which is even worse than the AI slop!!!), the use of AI slop anywhere in gaming is a disservice to gamers and genuine game developers who do the right thing.

Great little game! Feels smooth and interactive. Could use a bit more PUNCH on the attacks but otherwise I enjoyed playing it :D

I got rank 1 score in endless mode at the time of this review, 5715, which I'm pretty happy about considering I didn't play this game too long. Basically entire game revolves around killing skeletons with counter. Your main goal should be to constantly be killing any archer immediately when you see them while constantly running into the skeletons to try to proc their blue attack so you can counter it. If 6-7 skeletons build up and 2-3 archers, you probably lose. The game is extremely generous with iframes so running into a group of skeletons to try to get one to proc blue so you can counter it is a pretty good strategy. You should sort of have all the skeletons on one side of you and work your way towards a wall, then roll through them when you get trapped. Game is fun, felt like vampire survivors. I enjoyed it.

Fun little free game about timing and combat. It really feels nice to upgrade your equips and slay all those enemies, although I had to farm good drops for the 3 last levels.
