Hey there, Bibiki -the audio composer and sound designer of Arco- here! I hope you've been enjoying Arco so far 💪 It's been a real pleasure to read your last comments on how are you having a good time with our beloved characters. I'm passing by to say that last weekend we had the first Arco live concert 🔊 at Guadalindie, where we played a selection of Arco tunes. I had the pleasure to play with Victoria Ruiz, the original singer and player of tunes like Lágrimas de Cal 💦 and Mirella Díez (ellanorte), sound designer at ZA/UN that sang in Sempiternal 🌱 In case you want to watch it, here is t

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

This means languages are available on non-steam platforms and we're satisfied that the major issues with the translations have been solved. 📝 Steam build was uploaded a few days ago, so you should've been able to enjoy the latest changes already! 🥳 For those who missed it last time, the supported languages are: Spanish - LATAM German Simplified Chinese Russian Japanese Portuguese - BR Many issues with translations (small and not-so-small) have been fix

We are very happy to announce that Arco is now available in the following languages: - Spanish - LATAM - German - Simplified Chinese - Russian - Japanese - Portuguese - BR We want to say that, since the game has a lot of text and we are a small team, we are aware that you may find some misprints here and there.✍️ Even though we are checking that everything looks perfect for you, in case you find some misprints or bugs, it would help us a lot if you could report that at Steam forums.

First of all thank you everyone for enjoying Arco, and reporting all the bugs! If you played Arco but haven't left a reivew yet, please do, it helps 💕 Patch summary Lots of crash and bug fixes. Let us know if you find anything we missed. Demo! Some people asked so we brought the free demo back! It's important to notice that the demo is the first 2-3 hours of the game and that the saves carry over to the final, if you choose to buy, so it is the best way to see if you like the game! Assist mode in settings for players who care about the story but are struggling with combat. You can use it to b

If you're a fiend for clever tactical combat that enjoys the likes of Baldur's Gate 3, Into the Breach, and XCOM, newcomer Arco should be on your radar. Set in a slightly fantastical version of the American frontier inspired heavily by Mesoamerican and South American history, this new indie RPG tells a classical tale of revenge and bloodshed. While its characters and tales have certainly piqued my interest, however, what really captured my attention is its satisfying combat, a delightful fusion of real-time and turn-based tactics.
