What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
With a deceptively challenging gameplay loop, you will likely pour countless hours into this game before you properly understand how to play it.
There's an enormous roster, and almost all of them are fun to play.
Heroes are diverse and fun to play, art style is on point, music is meh but its not like you play card games for music, animations are clean, A LOT of content given its price and lack of DLC, and with numerous difficulty settings you can have a hardcore or easy run depending on what you want.
For the most part, Arcanium is an excellent addition to the roguelite card game genre; you construct a party of three characters with their own decks and use them together in lane-based combat against a variety of enemies.
Arcanium is a resplendent game, and the cartoon art style adds surprisingly large amounts of depth despite being somewhat minimalist.
The audio is crisp and well-executed to provide the perfect combination of ambience and effect, and pretty much the entirety of the soundtrack is a consistent and beautifully orchestrated set piece.
