    Despite a small price, Kingdom of Arcadia will not gain enough traction to prove its worth. Alright, we might share a smile when discovering that the protagonist lands on another world thanks to an arcade machine kept by his father, but this will not be enough. The gameplay is excessively boring and the AI is in a world of its own by relentlessly repeating its patterns and not caring the slightest about the player –this won’t help breaking the monotonous circle. All is needed to complete the game is going through the various levels in each castle and never going back to a previous zone as it’s not necessary. Kingdom of Arcadia is a basic platform game –not a Metroidvania– which wasn’t blessed on any particular point.
