I really like this since I love doing solo runs and comparing my scores to other players.
Outside of story progression and challenges, doing runs is all about bragging right on top of the leaderboards. The runs themselves can be performed solo or up to a group of four. They have weak damage and I feel like I’ve wasted a bullet shooting an already frozen enemy. Electric weapons are nice but rely on magazines. They all do damage over time which is good since the enemies are corporate bots and I WANT THEM TO BURN! Anyways, electricity stuns enemies and zaps nearby enemies, freeze weapons… eventually freezes enemies.
#ARCADEGEDDON IMPRESSIONS SERIES#
The Magma gun series is my personal favorite, this line of guns does not run on limiting magazines, it goes by a heating system similar to that of Apex Legend’s L-Star LMG. Instead, they lean more towards elemental types. The game has both your typical range of gun types but it focuses less on mundane things like different fire rates and damage numbers. Killing enemies and damaging bosses individually changes both Ults and you can choose when to use the one or the other by pressing R1 or L1 and firing to confirm your choice. With enough levels, you can also have your choice of Gauntlet Ultimates from a current selection of a dozen or so. In each run, you can have your choice of any 3 weapons. What the environments lacked in variety, is certainly made up for by the weapons in the game.
Plus, there isn’t exactly a lot of variety when it comes to environments. You are only allowed take on one challenge at a time. The leaders will choose the challenges you need to do on that run. Think of it like streaming a demo and you’re trying to get the word out that this is the game to play. To recruit the leaders and add their members to the growing tally of the game’s active users, the player needs to plug in and enter Arcadegeddon and show off the game. But there’s a catch, no self-respecting punk will listen to someone who doesn’t walk the walk. It doesn’t make a lot of sense but it gives us a reason to present ourselves to the gang leaders (all of whom appear to be chilling out in this one arcade, btw.) and recruit them to the cause.
So, having skipped the competition, we head straight to the part where we recruit all of the city’s gamer gangs in an effort to “disrupt” corporate activity within the game. Guess uncle Gilly should have set up a competition for the rights over his technology. This all sounds a lot like Ready Player One. And then your classic evil mega-corporation (AKA FunFUNco) walks in and tries to perform a hostile takeover of Gilly’s. Your character’s uncle, Gilly, created a new arcade game that has the potential of being the next big thing in all of gaming. Players take control of “Plug”, a regular gamer doing regular gamer things. It’s got a bit of Cyberpunk, Fortnite, and electro dance music all rolled in one convenient arcadey package.Īrcadegeddon is a 3rd person rogue-like shooter that’s both casual and competitive. The game itself is a parody of every that’s been popular within the last 5 years. There are many games that poke fun at corporations and the parody that is “the game developer” but I don’t usually see a game that goes so as to go against the grain of the thing it is making fun of and actually produce a product that doesn’t expect you pour in dozens of hours in the name of “progression”, at least that’s what I’m experiencing with Arcadegeddon.
