“Bite-size” is one of those terms that gets a bad rap.
But in games, bite-size can be a wonderful size.
WarioWare is bite-sized: the entire history of interaction delivered in four-second gulps.
Arco review
And Arco?
It takes this stuff seriously.
This is the Into the Breach take on bite-size games, and it rules.
This is particularly cheering sinceArco’s early review code was rather unstable.
And what a game you’ll be diving into.
Arco tells three dovetailing stories of a Latin America-inspired landscape under attack from money-grabbing invaders.
Its story-telling is swift and compact but very rich, building on sorrow and revenge in elegant ways.
Battling is where it’s at, though.
There’s no grid, but placement is still key.
You extend an arrow out from your characters telling them where to move or where to aim their attacks.
Arco accessibility options
Option to reduce screen shake.
All lovely, but there’s the contrast here that marks out the truly thoughtful work of art.
The land is in danger, and the land is, in its own way, completely overwhelming.
