The well-known space shooting game continues to inspire new ideas within the gaming world, making it unsurprising that we’re encountering innovative spins on the genre, even years later. This trend is particularly evident with the recently released top-down space shooter Arcadium, now available in early access for Android and TestFlight on iOS devices.

It’s quite evident that Arcadium has taken inspiration from contemporary forms, particularly the Vampire Survivors blueprint. Yet, Arcadium distinguishes itself by incorporating unique elements. For instance, it blends classic Space Invaders-style player ships and adversaries for a dynamic gameplay experience where you dodge and fire to progress.

Beyond serving as mere backdrops, the vividly depicted pixel galaxies also serve a functional purpose. Approaching these celestial bodies grants access to valuable resources that enable you to enhance your spacecraft even further. What’s more, your vessel can be personalized in numerous unique ways.


Space is the place

In Arcadium, the cosmic setting serves as an exciting playground. It’s not merely about gliding across a plush backdrop speckled with white stars. Instead, you encounter unusual artifacts in space or come face-to-face with a blazing sun, allowing for both exploration and navigation within the celestial expanse. This journey can lead to opportunities that benefit you (or potentially harm you).

Of course! If you’re curious about the practical aspects of Arcadium, let me tell you it offers both landscape and portrait mode, ensuring ample content for repeated play. If you’re seeking a unique twist on the Survivor concept with a touch of cosmic flavor, then Arcadium could be worth keeping an eye on!
