Our take on ARKOS

The retro shooter format keeps the focus on direct combat, voxel destruction, and dungeon progression, but that emphasis leaves less room for broader systems such as multiplayer play or a wider arsenal.

What is ARKOS?

Play as Arkos, a white wizard searching an ancient castle for a powerful weapon once owned by a missing teacher.

This first-person fantasy shooter uses a destructible voxel environment and draws inspiration from 1990s titles such as Heretic, Hexen, and Catacomb3D. The game includes seven weapons, seven episodes with boss battles, three difficulty modes, and puzzle elements alongside its retro action. A MIDI soundtrack by kubikami accompanies the dungeon exploration and combat.

How ARKOS plays

01Destructible world: Voxel-based surroundings can be damaged during exploration and combat.
02Seven weapons: The white wizard has seven weapons available during the campaign.
03Episode campaign: The game is divided into seven episodes, each featuring boss battles.
04Three difficulties: Players can choose from three difficulty modes.

ARKOS compared to similar games

ARKOS focuses on solo first-person fantasy shooting across seven episodes, with destructible voxel environments, boss battles, and puzzle elements. Hentai Vs Furries is a third-person shooter with quests, unlockable skins, multiple camera angles, emotes, and a main mode plus a separate “Pleasure” mode. Abyssus centers on multiplayer shooting, hand-crafted levels, roguelite progression, and weapon modifications, making its structure different from ARKOS's fixed episodic campaign.
