Just finished ARCO. It's really a wonderful game The good: - Characters are very interesting, with diverse personalities and backgrounds. - The story is simple but engaging. There are a lot of choices to be made that can change how the chapters are played. Lots of great interactions between them. - The pixel art is simply outstanding. - The music is also really good and it matches perfectly the América Latina scenery. - Very fun combat system for the most part, though a bit repetitive for the last couple of hours. - Not too short but not too long either, just the perfect dosis. The bad: - This may be insignificant for many people, but I, as an argentinian, chose to play this game in spanish (I usually play games in english because of bad translations) because I thought it would just make a perfect fit. An it was sad to see that even a game set in this part of the world doesn't get a proper spanish translation. It is very poor, full of literal translated phrases and with some parts that weren't translated at all. Just consulting with one native spanish speaker would have made all the difference!

Arco is genuinely something special. Plenty of games have tried to blend turn‑based strategy with real‑time action, but almost all of them stumble somewhere. Arco nails it. The combat feels fresh, fluid, and cleverly designed, and its RPG elements tie everything together in a way that makes every encounter feel meaningful. After trying it, I found myself excited to wake up just to play more. The control scheme initially reminded me of classic turn‑based CRPGs - where you select an action, time pauses, and then you simply watch your character carry it out. You’re more of a spectator while the character moves and attacks on their own. But Arco goes far beyond that. It gives you direct control over how your character moves, runs, and positions themselves during the turn, blending the clarity of turn‑based planning with the agency of real‑time movement. It’s a smart evolution of the formula, and it works beautifully. Arco is a truly unique experience, and I’d love to see more games experiment with ideas like this.

12 hours long with sidequests, 20 hours for farmers. 🟢 The Good: +Fresh simultaneous turn-based combat well executed. You and enemies act at the same time, so you have to predict their movement and attack patterns. +Soundtrack is beautiful and pixel art is good. +The storytelling is well done, switching characters that meet and keeping it fresh. +Impactful decisions, with different endings and varied exploration. 🔴 The bad: -Some boss fights , specially one, is janky compared to regular encounters. -There's a noticeable enemy bloat in the later sections, may feel it drags a little in such encounters. -Some sort of Guilt system that I dislike but some others may find interesting. 🔵 Other things to consider: >Has replayability. >Many animals can be petted. >Runs in low-end computers.

I love any game with simultaneous turns :) The incredible western revenge story was just icing on the amazing base mechanics. I would play Arco 2. I would buy any Arco DLC.

This game is amazing, amazingly difficult, but amazing! Cannot recommend it enough, and the fact it's still really underground is a shame.
