Of course, you could play endless runs of Gilly’s game just for fun, but the real challenge comes from talking to these side characters and taking on Gang Challenges from them. While the gameplay is plenty of fun, the characters in Gilly’s arcade are possibly even more fun. How you progress is really on your terms. After a certain time, a boss fight will become available, but if you don’t feel ready yet, players can just keep leveling up until they do. Thankfully, you decide when to engage bosses. The bosses you’ll encounter are a real challenge! They’re hard-hitting and come with very different mechanics and attacks. Sure, it’ll be hard, but imagine the loot! And while the game does become a bit repetitive, especially at lower levels, the fact that you can unlock the ability to jump in at higher and higher levels instead of starting at level one is a great addition. Hacks are essential if you’re going for a certain build. You’ll also find perks (called Hacks) to pick up that modify your stats like total health or increase your damage output from certain weapons like shotguns. There are so many to find, and so many have fun perks-from flamethrowers to guns that fire superconductive balls of concentrated electricity or proximity mines, it’s hard not to love Arcadegeddon’s arsenal. It’s a pretty typical game mechanic, but what makes it a joy is Arcadegeddon’s collection of guns. You’ll start with some pretty simplistic weaponry and find better weapons and perks as you go by killing enemies and finding loot crates, with the idea of finding better loot the higher the level is. Again, each run is as different as the next, setting this game up for hours of playtime.Īnd as ever-changing as the levels are, so too are the loot and bosses. And while each level is undoubtedly eye-catching, with them come new hazards like acid pools or saws to keep an eye out for but also hazards you can use to your advantage like exploding barrels or flora. Each level’s setting is as interesting as the next-you’ll explore a factory and a floating island, along with more futuristic settings like a cityscape overrun by nature. And with each level comes a change of scenery. The goals change from capturing roaming control points to obtaining key cards and many more. Each level requires an objective (or objectives) to be completed and players to get to a portal. Players will start runs with a never-ending series of levels that either end on death or quitting. So he asks his nibling, you, to battle the virus and save the last hometown arcade. To do so, he creates a new game, but the mega-corporation infects it with a virus.
And what little story there is is one to get behind: Gilly, the local arcade owner, is trying to save his business from a mega-corporation trying to take over the gaming arena. From the alien characters in futuristic but trendy clothing to the music thumping in the background, the sights and sounds alone pull you in. Immediately when you load into the game, Arcadegeddon’s quirky vibe is front and center. Developed and published by IllFonic, this is one game you’ll want to tell your friends about. Arcadegeddon is a cooperative multiplayer, third-person shooter that not only provides fast-paced, slick action but a setting that melds arcade nostalgia with a fantastic soundtrack and plenty of quirky humor.
