Retro Arcade Adventure is a soon to be released XBLIG/PG title that promises retro-styled gameplay, art and music. It really is a retro arcade adventure game...
FirstView is a segment on FBF where several members of the team give their thoughts after a short play of a title. This entry is on Retro Arcade Adventure, by SIACTRO, available on Xbox360 Indie Marketplace for 80ms.
Gamergeddon takes a look at the best Xbox Indie Game releases over the past few weeks with a video showing gameplay footage and impressions of the games. This episode covers games including UBERZOMBIE USA, Miner4Ever, Cataboom and Spoids.
Siactro has crafted a game with fantastic aesthetics in Retro Arcade Adventure. The gameplay occupies the shallow end of the pool, however, creating an experience more like Marco Polo than Water Polo.
That’s not to say Marco Polo can’t be fun. You just can’t go into Retro Arcade Adventure expecting a challenging game. There’s heavy emphasis on the “arcade” part of the title – this one is more Smash TV than The Legend of Zelda - despite the thoughtfully-illustrated fantasy graphics. You take control of a lone hero on his quest to dispatch a malevolent demon hellbent on enslaving his homeland. You’ll slash through wave upon wave of enemies in order to reach and vanquish your foe.
