Is Arnold worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Action-game players who want spaceship combat against alien enemies
- Players who enjoy learning enemy and trap layouts before clearing a level
- Players seeking a level-based shooter with collectible first aid kits
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want more than repeated shooting, dodging, and clearing opponents may find the combat loop narrow.
- Players who prefer varied progression systems may hit a wall at the straightforward cycle of completing a level and teleporting onward.
- Players looking for multiplayer play may not find a fit in the described spaceship campaign.
Our take on Arnold
Players who want each encounter to introduce a different system may bounce off once the core loop settles into shooting, dodging bullets, collecting first aid kits, and moving to another level. The description offers traps, doors, and homing turrets, but does not describe further changes to that loop.
What is Arnold?
Arnold is an action game about a space pilot who enters a space base to investigate secret data and is caught in an alien trap.
Players control a spaceship through locations containing traps, open doors, and shoot opponents and homing turrets. Combat involves dodging incoming bullets as well as firing at enemies. First aid kits can be collected, and the ship teleports to the next level after a stage is completed. The vendor also describes learning each level before defeating its opponents, then moving on to the next one. Completing levels awards achievements.
