About this game



Arco is a Mesoamerican fantasy RPG where each fight is a handcrafted bullet-hellish maelstrom that you must solve through clever use of your skills, items, and environment. While exploring the world, your narrative choices affect whether the combat skews more turn-based or real-time.

Guide four indigenous heroes through intertwining stories as you battle monstrous creatures, rival nations, and greedy colonizers. Choose peace or choose violence but not all threats can be reasoned with…and all roads in Arco lead to revenge. On a llama.

Features:

  • Simultaneous turn-based system that requires tactical planning while staying quick on your toes.
  • Intertwined stories with 4 different characters, each with their own unique skill tree and playstyle.
  • Choices that impact the narrative as well as the gameplay.
  • Handcrafted fantastical world with 200+ locations, 50+ enemies, 100+ items, 100+ skills.
  • 2 hours of captivating soundtrack. It will break your heart and then heal it.
  • Get cursed, run from your demons, slap monsters, and break your neck trying to discover secrets.
  • Llamas.

    Overlooked indie RPG Arco hits its lowest price on Steam, and deserves a chance

    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...
