‣ Final notes: Archvale is a great bullet hell game that combines elements from Enter the Gungeon, Binding of Isaac and Realm of the Mad God. Anyone who played any of the mentioned games will find similarities that will appeal to them. I honestly don’t have much to say about this game. I beat it in records time and can’t complain. It is a nice quick journey. There are great variety in enemy types and locations you get to explore. Boss fights have their own charm and there are some puzzle jumping areas for those who like a bit of timed jumping. My only complaint is that once you get a strong endgame weapon you won’t switch back, and your gameplay becomes the same. Sure, locations change and so do enemies, but you repeat the same moves over and over again. This could easily be fixed if more than 2 weapons were powerful or useful. For example, a fire staff would come in handy in snowy areas while being useless in others just to give you more options. Overall Archvale is a decent quick game.
