ArcRunner

I died repeatedly, swore a lot, and tried plenty of different load-outs. I had a great time during each playthrough even though I knew failure was just around the corner. This sense of impending doom adds a layer of risk vs reward. Additionally, the opportunity to test new builds and permanently improve your hero was hard to turn down. Consequently, I like it and I recommend buying it here! Don’t let the virus win. Pick your hero, unlock new skills, and reset the KORE.

ArcRunner is a title that offers a solid and fun gaming experience, with well-structured gameplay and a variety of character classes that add depth to the game strategy. However, despite its qualities, it fails to stand out significantly in the roguelite genre, which is already very crowded and full of alternatives.

Thus comes the question: is it worth it to save Arc? Despite two gross issues, I'd say yes.

Regardless of its issues, I'm loving ArcRunner on the Nintendo Switch; it's a very addictive roguelike, gameplay loop. I especially love the online mode, the selection of weapons, and the perks. Though I wish there were a few more characters to play as, that's just a personal gripe. ArcRunner is a fast paced shooter and if you love roguelikes, this is a no-brainer!

ArcRunner offers a satisfactory experience for fans of the roguelite genre, delivering exciting moments of facing challenges in a futuristic environment, filled with action and neon in spades.

If you need some mindless action that plays and looks pretty good, do keep an eye out for this one.

Giving first-person shooting some roguelike twists helps to make things interesting, but it lacks overall depth

ArcRunner offers an immersive roguelite action experience, with a variety of classes and difficulty modes, in addition to multiplayer. Although it faces obstacles in terms of usability due to its unfriendly interface and the lack of clarity in some of its mechanics, the game could reach its full potential with a few tweaks and offer a more rewarding experience for players.

The action is frantic, stylish, and addictive – and if that's all you want from a roguelike shooter then ArcRunner won't disappoint.

Game developers, I am begging you. If you want to place your game within a literary or cinematic genre, then, by all means, do so, but understand what that genre is about, first. Cyberpunk is not an aesthetic with angry robots, neon colours and body modifications. Cyberpunk is a warning against alloying corporations and the political elite to take technology and leverage it for their gain over the good of humanity. If your game doesn’t have that message at its core, you’ve missed the point of the genre.
