Arco is a turn based RPG where you play as multiple characters who end up banding together to take down the Red Company which is a group that are trying to settle in their lands and will not think twice about killing the natives to take their land.

The story is engaging and your choices effect the combat as well as the plot, if your character feels a lot of guilt they will be haunted by ghosts in battle meaning that you will have to make the turn quick as the ghosts can move in realtime as you plan your next turn. We get to see the origins for each character and why they set out on a quest for vengeance.

The combat is fun and the different characters have different skill trees. When you combine them in battle it's a lot of fun trying to dodge the bullet hell style projectiles and get off combos without taking any damage. Items such as poison and bombs can be thrown and consumables can be taken to give you an edge in battle. The combat provides a solid challenge from the start and the AI are quite strong in fights, this difficulty remains consistent throughout the game and there are no unfair spikes in my opinion.

The graphics and art style of the game provide some beautiful environments to explore and there is a variety of different locations all visually interesting and unique littered throughout the game world. The soundtrack is also really good and has some relaxing tracks that play as you travel around the gameworld.

The game was fun and there is no filler even among the sidequests. Highly recommend it.
