It's like Tetris 99, but with Arkanoid. Eternal Battle has a decent amount of modes. The titled Eternal Battle is a 25-player battle royale last-person-standing mode. Versus mode allows the game to be played with a total of 4 (either human or AI controlled) players. Neo is a modern take on the classic Arkanoid game with new powerups. Finally, even the arcade version is present in a Retro titled mode.
Controls are fine. Using the D-Pad and Thumbstick isn't the same as using a trackball in the arcade, but serviceable. The Eternal Battle 25-person multiplayer mode was pretty much dead, even playing it on launch and a few days after. Even with crossplay turned on, I was only ever matched against 3 or 4 other human players at the most while the rest were just AI opponents.
Arkanoid Eternal Battle launched at $30 and seems to have a very nonexistent online payer presence. Perhaps releasing it as a free-to-play game would have been better. I wouldn't recommend Eternal Battle as plenty of other options for Arkanoid exist. Wait for a deep discount, or pick up Shatter Remastered Deluxe, which is a fresh new take on the classic Breakout/Arkanoid game. Things with Arkanoid Eternal Battle may change in the future depending on when or if the developer gives it support and updates, but as of now, I'm rating this game 2 stars out of 5.
