    RWBY: Arrowfell is not a title we would necessarily call wholly bad, but it feels lacking especially when considering that the teams behind it have such a great track record for platformers and fighting titles. It’s hard to tell where things ended up to make it feel so “bleh.” The repetitive nature quickly becomes apparent, the lack of innovation in combat keeping anything from feeling fresh after the first few stages and it just feels like a series so focused around combat would deliver a more fleshed-out experience. RWBY: Arrowfell is a title that will only appeal to fans of the franchise, but even then it won’t offer a stunning gameplay experience or make it worth picking up for the story. At the very least it’s nice to see new interactions between characters, but it’s just a shame the gameplay loop just couldn’t pull through.

    RWBY: Arrowfell is a fine enough game, but it also feels like the kind of thing you might’ve discovered on Newgrounds back when Flash games were popular. Elements like the shallow combat and tacked-on skill point system don’t feel properly fleshed out, and repetitive environments and bland level design tend to get tiresome as the campaign wears on. We’d give this game a light recommendation if you’re a big fan of Wayforward’s other work in 2D action games and are looking for something in that vein, but even then, you may want to wait for a sale here. There are certainly much, much worse games than RWBY: Arrowfell to be found on the Switch eShop, but we think your time and money are better spent on, well, better games.

    RWBY: Arrowfell reminds me of a lot of WayForward’s other licensed games in that it’s amusing enough to play but not much more than that. It has a few interesting elements but nothing big enough to help the game stand out. It’s certainly better than the average licensed game, but it’s not up to the level of the developer’s best fare in this genre. RWBY fans should have a nice time, at least.

    Fans of RWBY might find something enjoyable here, but it just lacks the sort of care and polish that goes into most of WayForward’s catalog, which is a shame.

    RWBY: Arrowfell is the definition of a mixed bag. Rewarding and fast-paced exploration does provide some satisfaction, but the combat, which makes up the majority of the game, fails to impress through the awkward way in which character progression has been implemented. If you’re willing to overlook that, then RWBY: Arrowfell serves as a perfectly fine distraction that I feel does just enough right with its narrative, presentation, and exploration to make it worth a look for action platformer fans.

The gameplay, on the otherFans of the original show will enjoy the game to some degree since there's elements of familiarity to witness here. The gameplay, on the other hand, is lacking lots of what make metroidvania(s) stand out, and the upgrade system is dead simple for all 4 playable characters. Being a short game that can be finished in about 5 hours, RWBY: Arrowfell still worth a shot if you're eager for more RWBY content.… Expand

Só é necessário lutarSimplesmente o pior jogo que já comprei na vida, e eu pensava que superman 64 era ruim, esse consegue ser ainda pior. Só é necessário lutar pra ter moeda que só pode carregar no máximo 999, a história do jogo é muito ruim dá nem pra falar que tem. As fases são todas iguais, só altera o cenário e ainda assim são bem poucos. Se jornalista fala bem pode desconfiar pois o jogo é péssimo. Não comprem, é um alerta, não joguem seu dinheiro fora. Espero ter ajudado, pix na descrição… Expand
