- Overlooked indie RPG Arco hits its lowest price on Steam, and deserves a chance - 4 January 2025
2024 was a magnificent year for memorable indie games, with the all-conquering Balatro even securing a nomination for The Game Awards' top honor. But its creator 'LocalThunk' is a big champion of his fellow indies, highlighting other greats including Animal Well, Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers, and the fantastic Arco . The stunning Mesoamerican RPG is a real sleeper hit, with 97% of players recommending it, and its clever tactical combat and beautiful pixel-art design completely won my heart, but it didn't get the attention it deserved. If you missed it, however, you've now got the chance to catch up for cheap as a Steam sale brings Arco to its lowest price yet. Read the rest of the story...

- ✨Translations - Ready for Primetime✨ - 4 December 2024
With this build, we're taking language support out of "Beta" status. This means languages are available on non-steam platforms and we're satisfied that the major issues with the translations have been solved. 📝 Steam build was uploaded a few days ago, so you should've been able to enjoy the latest changes already! 🥳 For those who missed it last time, the supported languages are: Spanish - LATAM German Simplified Chinese Russian Japanese Portuguese - BR Many issues with translations (small and not-so-small) have been fixed since the last build. Thanks to everyone who has helped with testing! 💪 If you have any further issues please keep the reports coming - after making extra sure your copy is up to date! The other changes have been fairly minor but will un-stick a few people ✨ - Soft-lock in Act 3 when running a translation fixed - Crashes with very specific item equips fixed. - Time…

We are very happy to announce that Arco is now available in the following languages: - Spanish - LATAM - German - Simplified Chinese - Russian - Japanese - Portuguese - BR We want to say that, since the game has a lot of text and we are a small team, we are aware that you may find some misprints here and there.✍️ Even though we are checking that everything looks perfect for you, in case you find some misprints or bugs, it would help us a lot if you could report that at Steam forums. Besides the localisation, we've made some minor audio and performance improvements, as well as some background changes to implement better the localisations.💪 Thank you so much for your patience, we hope you enjoy Arco a lot in your languages!✨

- Bugfixes, Demo, Assist Mode, and What's Next - 24 August 2024
First of all thank you everyone for enjoying Arco, and reporting all the bugs! If you played Arco but haven't left a reivew yet, please do, it helps 💕 Patch summary Lots of crash and bug fixes. Let us know if you find anything we missed. Demo! Some people asked so we brought the free demo back! It's important to notice that the demo is the first 2-3 hours of the game and that the saves carry over to the final, if you choose to buy, so it is the best way to see if you like the game! Assist mode in settings for players who care about the story but are struggling with combat. You can use it to blow stuff up, skip combat and turn off ghosts. We recommend experiencing the game without it, but we want to make sure everyone can get the most fun out of the game. Option to skip Act I when replaying the game. To make Obelisk hunting and looking for alternate paths a more pleasant process. Holdin…
- Gorgeous new indie RPG Arco's clever tactical combat has me entranced - 18 August 2024
If you're a fiend for clever tactical combat that enjoys the likes of Baldur's Gate 3, Into the Breach, and XCOM, newcomer Arco should be on your radar. Set in a slightly fantastical version of the American frontier inspired heavily by Mesoamerican and South American history, this new indie RPG tells a classical tale of revenge and bloodshed. While its characters and tales have certainly piqued my interest, however, what really captured my attention is its satisfying combat, a delightful fusion of real-time and turn-based tactics.

- IGN EXCLUSIVE ARCO PREVIEW - They like it! - 5 June 2024
Hello folks! 🦙 Today is a pretty exciting day for our crew, as IGN published their exclusive preview of the game (the first two acts), and it turns out they think Arco is a pretty cool game. WE TOLD YOU! "It's been a while since I've felt so captivated by such a minimalist game as Arco," says Leana Hafer from the IGN team. We've been in the weeds getting the game ready for launch later this year, and hearing that it sounds like we are on the right track has been a nice morale boost. We hope you take the time to check out their wonderful preview to get a new look at what we are cooking up in the game. That's not all! The fine folks at Latin American Games Showcase have invited us over again for the Summer Game Fest edition of their show, and we are showing off a pretty neat boss fight with them on June 8 @ 10 AM PT. Here's a hint for that boss - 🐐. That's all for now, we will see you l…

- Exciting new indie RPG Arco gets a free Steam demo, and I'm hooked - 27 January 2024
Blending exploration and decision-making with tactical turn-based RPG combat that would make the likes of Baldur's Gate 3, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, or Into the Breach proud, Arco is a beautiful pixel-art new indie game that tells the story of "three tales forged in bloodshed, laced with magic, and united by revenge." With a free demo now available to play ahead of Steam Next Fest, I've been spending plenty of time with Arco, and I'm already having a lot of fun. Read the rest of the story...
