    The real key to Arkadian Warriors’s success is the way in which Wanako made the user interfaces super simple and extremely user-friendly.

    The limits to the number of quests to take on and number of players in a co-op game really hold the game back from being one of the best Arcade offerings around.

    The frenzied pace makes for a pleasant enough co-op diversion, but it's also one that's devoid of meaning or longevity. [Feb 2008, p.79]

    As anticipation goes, it certainly delivers and keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what's going to happen next or whether there is another surprise yet to be revealed. [Issue#29, p.120]

    We can handle repetitious gameplay in our dungeon crawlers -- it’s generally mindless fun. When you add in a total lack of variety in dungeon and mission design and just toss a bunch of generic monsters our way, it just becomes mindless.

    Arkadian Warrior could have been the Xbox Live Arcade's Diablo, but due to lazy programming, a boring story, repetitive level designs and crummy graphics, it just ends up being another average action RPG.

    An RPG-lite that's just too watered down to be at all enjoyable. [Mar 2008, p.94]

    This is a casual Gauntlet style dungeon crawler with RPG elements and i find it to be quite fun.

    It's a fun game and worth buying if you have nothing better to do gameplay is simple and its a good way to waste 1-3 hours.

    Imagine Diablo with slightly better graphics and a childish plot. Ta Da! Arkadian Warriors. Mindless button mashing and hacking through Imagine Diablo with slightly better graphics and a childish plot. Ta Da! Arkadian Warriors.

    All around poor execution. Too bad, I was looking for a cute hack n slash to play with my bro.
