Arco review - small scale battles offering vast potential


Our review of the beautiful tactics game Arco.

Having now had a chance to properly engage with the game on PC as well as Switch, it's a happy thing to report that you can dive in without worries of crashing. Enemy attacks are well-signposted, so there's as much fun in working out the rhythm of each encounter - particularly when to stay still and recoup mana - as there is to deploying the specials each character can unlock with XP, or making sure that you dart in to strike - or teleport, in certain circumstances - and then beat it back to the periphery again.
