Reviews

“A masterful addition to the cinematic genre it follows - exciting and beautiful and random and hellish all at once.”
9/10 – EDGE Magazine

“[Arco] surprised me with the grandeur, imagination, and affection present in its storytelling, offering a totally new perspective on some classic elements of the Western genre.”
IGN

“Arco has the juice, the sauce, the rizz – whatever you want to call it, Arco is dripping with it.”
9/10 – Well Played

About This Game



Arco is a Mesoamerican fantasy RPG where each fight is a handcrafted bullet-hellish maelstrom that you must solve through clever use of your skills, items, and environment. While exploring the world, your narrative choices affect whether the combat skews more turn-based or real-time.

Guide four indigenous heroes through intertwining stories as you battle monstrous creatures, rival nations, and greedy colonizers. Choose peace or choose violence but not all threats can be reasoned with…and all roads in Arco lead to revenge. On a llama.

Features:

  • Simultaneous turn-based system that requires tactical planning while staying quick on your toes.
  • Intertwined stories with 4 different characters, each with their own unique skill tree and playstyle.
  • Choices that impact the narrative as well as the gameplay.
  • Handcrafted fantastical world with 200+ locations, 50+ enemies, 100+ items, 100+ skills.
  • 2 hours of captivating soundtrack. It will break your heart and then heal it.
  • Get cursed, run from your demons, slap monsters, and break your neck trying to discover secrets.
  • Llamas.
