The release date of Arco on PC and Nintendo Switch was announced with a spectacular animated trailer: the game will be available starting August 15 and will allow us to control four different characters with unique abilities.
Against the backdrop of an original fantasy setting, rich in evocative landscapes but also in many dangers that we will have to be wary of, Arco will put us in front of increasingly complex challenges, in which we will have to face powerful enemies and reveal ancient mysteries.
Adding to the gameplay’s uniqueness is a simultaneous turn-based combat system, which requires a certain degree of coordination to ensure that the “flow” of the different characters’ actions is expressed in the most effective way possible.
During the campaign we will also have the opportunity to explore large and vibrant settings, as well as interact with numerous characters who will provide us with useful information or propose missions to complete.
Strategia in pixel art
We tried Arco last February and were impressed by its captivating artistic side, well enhanced by pixel art graphics and a soundtrack that was perfectly functional to the atmospheres the game aims to create.
In terms of gameplay, the strategic system allows for a lot of freedom, quick changes and a wide repertoire of moves that add variety and freshness to the action, making each single fight truly dynamic and engaging.
In short, next August 15th, we will be able to measure ourselves with an experience that is certainly capable of surprising, equipped with a story that develops narratively through a system of forks determined by our decisions.
