It’s entirely skill based, so you’ll need to strike a fine balance between unleashing a swift offensive on your enemies and dodging incoming attacks. You’ll need to ensure you’re consistently upgrading your character, too, because the combat is ruddy tough. Crafting and customisation is easy in Archvale there’s no grinding or digging out rare materials, everything you’ll need is gathered organically as you explore new areas of the map. You can then utilise these to craft new, more powerful versions of your favourite weapons at anvils in the local towns. Not only this, but as you explore the land, you’ll be able to loot new materials like iron, gold, obsidian, mauvite, and more. We all like to settle on weapons that feel comfortable and reliable, but Archvale encourages experimentation by making each and every one of its wide selection feel powerful and intuitive. The great thing is that pretty much every weapon in Archvale feels viable. You’ve got your standard weapons like swords, daggers, and spears, but you can also branch out into ranged weaponry with bow and arrows or boomerangs, and even a dash of sorcery with fire tomes and staffs. Of course, in order to do so, you’ll need some weapons, and there are a lot to choose from.

Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) Along the way, you’ll be hunting down the fabled Archstones, collecting gold, looting ore, and building your character to be the most fearsome, agile warrior in the land. You take on the role of an adventurer who must travel a diverse land and explore dungeons in order to vanquish the world of the Undying living remnants of a cruel king that roam the land and spit out ungodly amounts of ‘bullets’. The story itself is pleasantly straightforward, with little lore or backstory to bog down the moment-to-moment gameplay.
