    This game is great amazing! It is a game mainly focused on combat. You can sink a lot of time into this dual stick shooter with a great story. The local multiplayer is really great too.

    Top notch variety in enemies and zones, fantastic bullet patterns, and so many ways to build your character. The crafting is fun, easy to understand, and extremely rewarding. Multiple difficulties and the ability to grind gold & resources (if you want to) makes it very accessible. You get a bit of the story after defeating each temple - it isn't very long but very it's extremely well done. The soundtrack is cute and very fitting for the pixel art.

    Extra kudos to this game for the protagonist being gender neutral (they / child / little one / etc). I highly recommend Archvale to anyone who enjoys Wizard of Legend, Nuero Voider, Hammerwatch, Geometry Wars, older Zelda games, etc.    … Expand

    I often play games and get bored of them within a few hours but Archvale had me hooked. The game can be challenging at times but persevering and overcoming those challenges makes it all the worthwhile. It's basically a bullet-hell meets RPG and it's done exceptionally well. The art work is incredible and loveable and I honestly enjoyed this product. I look forward to seeing bigger andI often play games and get bored of them within a few hours but Archvale had me hooked.

    Apart from the odd minor issue, Archvale has been a pleasure. There’s some real joy in exploring, in meeting and shooting new and strange creatures, and in enjoying the cute and cuddly visual style - even as the same boss stomps you multiple times. If you like bullet hell games, Archvale should certainly be on your radar.
