Some of the quirkier weapons I came across were the Ex Machina which litters the sky and then your enemies in bombs, the Vaporizer which unleashes streams of nanobot vapours, and the Slicer which is a short-range shotgun that shoots miniature blades.īetween the game’s stages, you will enter a safe zone of sorts that offers some respite. Through weapon mastery, you can also alter these starting weapons with ones more suited to your preferences. You have three weapon slots, with your starter weapons including a baseball bat and a pistol that has unlimited ammo. Along the way, if you look around the right corners, you will find chests that will give you rewards such as different weapon types. Of course, you will also have the virus enemies in the form of armoured soldiers, crazed purple zombies, and combustible balloon-headed aliens trying to stop you from completing your tasks successfully.
These locations will also contain objectives to complete such as closing breaches or shooting down corrupted targets labelled Glitch Siphons. These NPCs seem to be included to keep the player busy for busy sake, with the rewards offered not being particularly attractive.ĭuring your gameplay run, you will experience different randomly spawned stages which include a futuristic cityscape, a fiery hellscape, and an aerial arena made up of multi-platformed sky decks. The challenges are pretty pedestrian and include stuff like “Get 50 Melee Kills”, “Get 80 Enemy Kills”, and “Get 300 SMG Kills.” Once completed, they will give you tickets that you can then use to purchase cosmetic upgrades. The dialogue of these NPCs and Gilly himself are a bit cringe at times and seem to be trying super hard to be cool. Before you enter Gilly’s virtual world, you can accept challenges from a range of different NPCs that are standing around chilling. The locations of Arcadegeddon spawn randomly once you enter the “chamber” that takes you into the world via Gilly’s arcade showroom. The gunplay is slick and when everything works as intended, it feels like a genuinely good time. You’ll set out on runs with your squad and mow down enemies with the copious amount of guns given to the player, until you either complete your run or die trying. The game is played as a cooperative, third-person shooter roguelike. You help Gilly by entering his virtual world to eliminate this virus which appears in the form of many different enemy types. There’s nothing fun about this big corporation they are out to hack Gilly’s arcade and only you and your squad can save this small business from getting into the wrong hands.
In Arcadegeddon, you play as a voiceless protagonist who is there to help Gilly, the owner of a local arcade, from having his wholesome business ripped from under him by the insidious Fun Fun Co. However, when you dive into this co-operative PvE/PvP multiplayer shooter, you’ll begin to see that all this glitz doesn’t hide the number of glitches and bugs that the game contains. The music, with its dub-step pop beats, really complements the slick atmosphere and visuals nicely. The world and the characters appear like they’ve come straight from a sci-fi inspired Saturday morning cartoon show with big plasticine hair, shiny skin, and neon-splashed outfits with streaks of intense blues, purples, and pinks. It’s hard not to glance at Arcadegeddon without thinking it looks like a hell of a lot of fun.
