Arco

An immersive role-playing game where death comes easy

- Alex Blake

Just a few minutes ago, the village was thriving – now it lies in ruins, smoke rising from the charred remains of its modest dwellings, the dead littering the ground. Was this the work of Kanek warriors? Or colonising Newcomers? The clues point in both directions, but you know that whichever path you follow, many more bodies will line the way.

Arco is a hard game, set in hard times and full of hard choices. It is one where death is just a fact of life, whether it comes at the hand of rampaging invaders or your own choices. From its fantasy-western setting to its innovative combat system, it’s an intriguing RPG.
