Is Holua's Arcades worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Retro arcade fans who want several distinct action formats in one purchase
- Score chasers who enjoy leaderboards, speed bonuses, and no-miss systems
- Local pairs who want a platformer playable in co-op
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking one deep, unified campaign may hit a wall when the collection switches between four separate arcade formats
- Players who dislike demanding reflex challenges may bounce off the bullet hell, parry-based combat, and precision platforming
- Players looking for online multiplayer may not find the local co-op format suitable
Our take on Holua's Arcades
The bounce point arrives when players move from the collection's varied formats into its precision demands: parries, bullet patterns, alarm avoidance, and exact platforming all require deliberate practice. Those expecting a relaxed arcade sampler may hit the wall at the score-focused systems and repeated attempts.
What is Holua's Arcades?
Holua's Arcades combines four standalone retro-style games in one collection.
Don't Mess with Rick follows a revenge story across four stages, using combos, grabs, parries, counters, and special attacks. Crescent Moon is a horizontal bullet hell with five interchangeable weapons, support pods, environmental hazards, and a no-miss scoring system. Heist of the Ninja presents single-screen rooms where players avoid guards, cross obstacles, search furnishings, and protect the alarm. Peng Peng supports solo play and local co-op across four worlds, with enemy clearing, speed bonuses, secret areas, special events, and a hidden ending. The collection also includes a hidden demo level outside the arcade room and links its setting to the upcoming FANTASY NETWORK game.
