Arcadeggedon Reviews
This forgettable genre-blender chases several trends but adds nothing of note to any of them.
Bright and colourful, charming and replayable, Arcadegeddon offers a cathartic thrill while promising to scratch that ever-present loot itch.
After a year in early access, Arcadegeddon has evolved and expanded to become a good multiplayer shooter but failing to make a qualitative leap.

Arcadegeddon blends recognizable aesthetics, tight level design, satisfying gunplay, & a medley of challenges to make an awesome third-person shooter.
Arcadegeddin is a fun and engaging roguelite/shooter. Be aware that there are still a bunch of minor bugs and glitches despite a long Early Access period, but hopefully the devs will fix them soon.

Arcadegeddon is Illfonic's most well-rounded multiplayer title yet, with a fun, engaging core and fast-paced gameplay keeping you going. Its rogue-lite elements don't get in the way, and it's a great game to let loose in with a friend or two. We can take or leave some of the surrounding fluff, like the largely forgettable characters and cosmetics, and there are definitely one or two rough edges. Even so, it's worth jacking into this solid third-person shooter for some scrappy fun.
I had an incredible time with the game, and though I have put in a decent amount of hours. Even after getting my boss cleared, I am still going back and playing it again and again to try to get more of the collectables for killing them. I really hope that the launch goes well and that the servers hold up with the release of the game because frankly it's one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had in a long time. I hope we get more bosses released and new areas released over time, if this game gets some decent support I could see it growing. Right now some folk may be frustrated with only 4 bosses, and though the biomes are nice they do seem a little limited but for launch it is looking really impressive and I can't wait to see where it goes.
Arcadegeddon does not aspire to the replayability of The Binding of Isaac and does not show off the production values of Returnal, but in its small way it succeeds very well in its intent: to create a roguelite characterized by an important arcade component, a fun cooperative mode and a structure different from all its most illustrious colleagues.

Arcadegeddon is a cooperative roguelite, which unfortunately, does not take full advantage of its potential, although it is fun to play with friends.

I cannot help but appreciate how Arcadegeddon hooked me into this really player-friendly loot shooter. The arcade-y elements are replayable, rewarding, and worth playing with friends. Arcadegeddon hits the spot as an MMO with roguelite elements with an awesome arcade aesthetic. But, I want more. Much more. If Arcadegeddon is to succeed in the MMO/roguelite space in the longer term, some of the advancement mechanics (such as preserving progress of longer runs) and lategame gameplay needs to be refined and expanded. I want additional modes like time trials that can easily and reliably completed in a single sitting. At the same time, I want some additional variety to make a three hour gauntlet exciting to reach. If you're wanting a co-op loot shooter that's easily picked up and played, look no further than Arcadegeddon. If you want something deeper, wait around a bit. Hopefully Arcadegeddon can hit that sweet spot, too.
When Arcadegeddon does what it’s supposed to do, it’s a rollicking good time. Experimenting with the zany weapon types, getting my butt kicked in the Battle Modes, and interacting with the vibrant neon world is so inviting. However, all those bright and sparkling qualities didn’t matter when Arcadegeddon’s glitches became too obtrusive to ignore. It’s a shame, as the game has a lot of potential to be a fan favourite for those who love to squad up with their mates and have a laugh whilst being challenged. As it is though, I would wait a bit longer to sink my teeth into this co-op experience.
Arcadegeddon has solid gun play mechanics and a setting that most will appreciate but its generic structure and lack of enemy variety hold it back from truly shining.
Arcadegeddon is a rogue-lite that invites us to go through a solo or cooperative challenge, getting closer to an audience that is looking for a more accessible and simple rogue-like losing that yes, something of that typical essence of the genre.

Rescue of arcade games in wild co-op offers great fun in the first few hours. Unfortunately, it will not retain players for very long. Mainly because of the lack of content and the emerging stereotype.

Arcadegeddon is a good game that knows what it wants to do and manages to deliver it with relative success. Despite a few technical issues and limited content at launch, it's easy to spend hours having fun with friends. Unfortunately, the solo experience leaves a lot to be desired.

Arcadegeddon's unique glitched-out virtual world and slick movement controls make it stand out in a familiar genre and it's a ton of fun.
Arcadegeddon provided me with a huge amount of fun. Whilst it can be casual, it also caters to hardcore shooter fans who want a real challenge. For the most part of the review I played solo and loved every second, but it is the perfect cooperative game and also brings competitive PVP into the mix.
Arcadegeddon is tight and very playable, the neon-drenched visuals are cool and stylish, assuming you’re open-minded about all the garish colors and epilepsy-inducing explosions, and it has enough weapon options and character customization to experiment with. But as hours pass, a certain feeling of sameness inevitably starts to creep in. The runs begin to feel dull, the enemy variety isn’t stellar, and all those edgy characters start to blend and look the same.
Arcageddon is a super fun, fast-paced rogue-lite shooter with co-operative gameplay and interesting art styles. Run and shoot your way to the top of the leaderboard while jamming to an insane dubstep soundtrack as you take down funFUNco.
Arcadegeddon may not be a perfect game with the latest bells and whistles we in the current expensive video games but it perfectly delivers on its own premise to make it a very unique and fun experience.
