About Heroes of Arca

Story


Arca... The amazing world crafted by the wise ancients that were respectfully called "The Creators". For many years they preserved the planet and helped its inhabitants. But nothing can last forever. Nobody knows the reason, but the honorable Creators had left their masterpiece a thousand years ago. And with their disappearance, nations of Arca wallowed in endless strife and struggle for territory. Flames of war started to roar over the planet.

Humans proved to be the hardiest and fittest to the wars. It was they who formed the backbone of most armies, became the strongest warlords and led the successful raids. Countries under their rule thrived and captured the most pleasant lands.

But even their art of war, honed for centuries, and experience gained in endless battles didn't allow them to protect their homeworld against invasion from the outside. A new force seemed to appear from nowhere. Neither declaring wars nor stating their reasons, the silent legions of faceless men simply wiped out the whole countries on their way. And when the people of Arca had lost faith in their power and their ability to change something...

"Heroes of Arca" looks like some kind of old school MMORPG, but don't be fooled, this is a failed mobile app that was dumped on Steam as an afterthought. It's since been removed from the app stores, but that's no surprise, Apple and Google have quality control for their stores. Valve doesn't. Anyway, from poor mobile app graphics to a water thin "story" and godawful RNG dominated, shallow combat, this is a train wreck. This has some fairly mediocre/dated looking graphics that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $6 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at just a dozen or so concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is…

Major fault is with the levelling system, to get more xp you have to die, then you get to fight your own duplication. If you are successful you get xp, otherwise another duplicate spawns. Normally no issue, but when your own character starts getting stronger than the map mobs, I think this feature gets more problematic than productive. I successfully repopulated the map with my own copies and broke the game for my playthrough

Игра Heroes of Arca – это настоящее погружение в фэнтезийный мир, где каждая деталь продумана с любовью. Здесь сочетаются элементы стратегии, RPG и даже градостроительного симулятора, создавая уникальный игровой опыт. Поначалу может показаться, что управление всеми аспектами вашего королевства – задача непростая, но освоившись, начинаешь ценить глубину проработки. Прокачка героев – отдельная песня. Каждый персонаж обладает своим уникальным набором навыков и снаряжения, что позволяет создавать разнообразные боевые тактики. Битвы завораживают своей динамикой и визуальным оформлением. Сражения с другими игроками добавляют остроты и азарта, побуждая постоянно улучшать свою армию и стратегию. Однозначно, игра стоит потраченного времени и внимания.
