Arcadegeddon is a hot mess. Even trying to spell its name is giving me a headache. The game is best described as an online rougelite shooter with light platforming elements. You gradually rank up your weapons and abilities as you complete levels and defeat bosses. There is a PvP element to the game that felt lacklustre. On release, the platinum was unobtainable which should give you an indication for what is to follow. Since first playing Arcadegeddon back in 2022, releasing as a PS+ essential game, the game has had a number of updates to improve the game and made getting some of the most annoying trophies achievable in single player which is welcomed.
Early in the game’s life, certain trophies could only be done in online co-op since not enough enemies would spawn in if you were playing in single player (notably Pyrotechnical to kill 15 enemies with a single fireball). This was hard to do legitimately since your teammates are more than likely killing the same enemies and not waiting for them to group up. While it is doable to do most of the stuff solo now, you still need to jump through a few hoops in order to get it done. The trophy list is littered with grindy trophies and some of them are very time consuming especially The Collector. After a number of hours of playing the game I was tired of the it. It did not help that some of the cooler outfits you could unlock in the game were gated off as microtransactions. Yikes…
There is a part of me that respects Arcadegeddon for its creative and daring direction. I was really interested in this game because it gave a lot of Jet Set Radio vibes from its aesthetic and punk attitude. It was a breath of fresh air and I did appreciate that. It is a very different game, for better and for worse. The missteps in microtransactions, poor launch, clunky gameplay, dwindling player base and bad trophy list makes my verdict very easy. Avoid this game.

Played the tutorial and one mission and I was already bored to death. Played some more just to realize that all that this game has to offer was in tutorial and in that first mission. That's all there is, and they expect you to grind these missions every day for daily rewards. Boss fights were awful, but gunfights were very good. 1 star for the music that was brilliant, but sadly in a wrong game.
No me convencio al final , un tanto divertido pero no me gusto al final
Roguelike that gets repetitive quick, suffers from a lack of other content, once you've fought all the bosses you've pretty much seen it all. With all the unlocks being mainly cosmetics there isn't much to work for. Pick this game up on sale and play with some friends for a few hours of good fun.
in my opinon this is a really underrated rouge like i think has so many cool aspects to it that i find interesting and i have dumped many hours into this and will continue to do so i just think it deserves a little bit more love from the devs and community
Repetitive dungeon crawler with nothing in between. Dead community making solo play a drag.
