Our take on Pixel Arcade Legacy
The likely sticking point is the campaign’s rising difficulty: later locked levels add obstacles that require timing and strategic movement. Players who do not want to retry stages to beat their previous times may also lose interest in its time-focused progression.
What is Pixel Arcade Legacy?
Pixel Arcade Legacy is a neon, pixel-themed platform game for virtual reality.
Players move and climb through campaign stages, avoiding lasers, moving platforms, walls, cubes, and temporary interactable objects. The campaign’s locked stages become harder as players advance. Real-time physics lets players swing or launch themselves toward objects and platforms. Saved progress allows a campaign to be resumed later. Players can try to improve their previous completion times and pursue a high score. The game has more than 23 levels and includes Steam Trading Cards.
