Gilly, the owner of a local arcade, is trying to save his business from a faceless mega-corporation. To do so he takes all the top arcade games and connects them all to make a super game, unfortunately, the mega-corporation, Fun Fun Co. hacks the game and injects a virus. You and your friends need to save the game and the last hometown arcade.
This ever-evolving multiplayer shooter allows you to play solo or with up to three friends to explore multiple biomes, mini-games, find hidden chests, and defeat numerous enemy types and boss levels. Arcadegeddon is a co-op multiplayer experience that provides a mix of PVE and PVP experiences that allows for all different speeds of play.As you continue to play you can take on additional challenges from the local “gangs” that hang out in Gilly’s Arcade. These will earn you much more than street cred. Speaking of street cred, earn your spot on the global leaderboards.
Arcadegeddonwill showcase original music for the game by Aaron Rutherford, Jimmy Blythe (AFK), Mark Rutherford, and Ray Volpe. We’ve also got music from Getter, UZ, Thook, Halogenix, Milano, South, and Swrly. Even our very own Grammy Winning CEO, Charles Brungardt, is making a return to music and produced a few tracks for the game.
Arcadegeddon is now available through Early Access on PC (Epic Game Store) and PS5 for $19.99, and should be in Early Access for aprox. 7 months.
There is a lot of insight that can come from releasing a title in Early Access. We play our games a lot and build a lot of the “fun” factor off of our experiences, but Early Access gives us a chance to see people who haven’t designed the maps and levels play. Then we can dive into the data and community feedback to dial-up, or down, the experience. The great thing about this game is that how it will play is really dependent on you, the gamer, and your preferred style of play and the pace which you like to play at. This along with the Early Access monitoring we will be doing will help make this game a unique adventure. We plan to be in Early Access for seven months. During this time there will be planned seasonal updates as well as patches as needed each month. You can keep up to date on all the details on the game’s website and social media handles.
One of the best parts about Arcadegeddon is the biomes (aka maps) the player will explore. It’s also where you can really experience the game’s outside influences. Each biome has a very distinctive style and feel. There are three biomes that will be released for Early Access. We plan on releasing at least five total by our 2022 launch.
The Nerve Center biome is a neon-pulse-like electrical grid. This map is the very foundation of Gilly’s super game and it is the focus of Fun Fun Co. sabotage attempts. Mystic Isles feels like a tropical getaway island. It is home to an ancient magical presence and the temples were created by an unknown entity. The last biome launching today with Early Access is Aftermath. Aftermath is a slightly futuristic city that is now being taken back by nature after being mostly destroyed by war. Each is unique and due to the game’s ever-changing quality, every run will be different.
Other factors to success come down to the weapons you chose, the hacks you pick up, and the Surge Gauntlet Abilities you acquire. There are seven different types of weapon classes and about 28 different weapons to choose from at the start of Early Access. Weapons feature a range of effects from fire, electricity, freeze, nano-tech, and more. But more importantly, it’s how and when you use these guns that will send you skyrocketing up the leaderboard. Don’t forget that along with weapons, there are over 25 hacks and 8 Surge Gauntlet Abilities for a player to acquire. These will all be necessary for beating the bosses and running the biomes at increased difficulty. To find out more, jump into the game and try them all out!
