The dialogue of these NPCs and Gilly himself are a bit cringe at times and seem to be trying super hard to be cool. Before you enter Gilly’s virtual world, you can accept challenges from a range of different NPCs that are standing around chilling. The locations of Arcadegeddon spawn randomly once you enter the “chamber” that takes you into the world via Gilly’s arcade showroom.

The gunplay is slick and when everything works as intended, it feels like a genuinely good time. You’ll set out on runs with your squad and mow down enemies with the copious amount of guns given to the player, until you either complete your run or die trying. The game is played as a cooperative, third-person shooter roguelike.

You help Gilly by entering his virtual world to eliminate this virus which appears in the form of many different enemy types. There’s nothing fun about this big corporation they are out to hack Gilly’s arcade and only you and your squad can save this small business from getting into the wrong hands. In Arcadegeddon, you play as a voiceless protagonist who is there to help Gilly, the owner of a local arcade, from having his wholesome business ripped from under him by the insidious Fun Fun Co. However, when you dive into this co-operative PvE/PvP multiplayer shooter, you’ll begin to see that all this glitz doesn’t hide the number of glitches and bugs that the game contains. The music, with its dub-step pop beats, really complements the slick atmosphere and visuals nicely. The world and the characters appear like they’ve come straight from a sci-fi inspired Saturday morning cartoon show with big plasticine hair, shiny skin, and neon-splashed outfits with streaks of intense blues, purples, and pinks. It’s hard not to glance at Arcadegeddon without thinking it looks like a hell of a lot of fun.
