Description




Discover or re-discover, the emblematic block breaker game in a fully modernized version! Classic elements from the franchise will definitely make a comeback, with a brand-new look, new rules, as well as new effects, bonuses and features! Including, for the very first time, a Battle Royale mode called "Eternal Battle".

Guaranteed to take veteran players by surprise!

Arkanoid is an iconic arcade game, developed by TAITO Corporation in 1986. When the mother ship ARKANOID comes under attack, the small spacecraft VAUS manages to escape but ends up warped into another dimension. Wandering in an inter-dimensional labyrinth, VAUS must destroy blocks called ""spacewalls"" in order to defeat ""DOH"", the creator of the maze responsible for ARKANOID’s destruction.


Arkanoid – Eternal Battle, developed by the talented French studio Pastagames marks the return of the iconic block breaker game.
A brand-new artistic direction and new surprising features, items and powers.

For the first time ever, players will be able to compete against each other, offering an online experience thanks to the Eternal Battle mode, the main new feature of this game, brining the arcade experience to a whole new level. This Battle Royale mode offers the possibility to compete among 24 players online.

Arkanoid is one of the most accessible, if not, the most accessible game in the history. The concept remains simple, but you'll will face level after level an increase of progressive difficulty.


including: 2 single-player modes (Neo & Retro) and 2 multiplayer modes, Local Versus and Eternal Battle
  • NEO (1-player): A new game mode. Same Gameplay as the classic Arkanoid Game with new power-ups and new spacewalls
  • RETRO (1-player): Discover a part of History through a vintage Arcade Cabinet
  • VERSUS (2-4 players): Players competing on the same screen (split-screen) based on the Neo mode gameplay. Please note that a controller is required for local multiplayer.
  • ETERNAL BATTLE (25-player): Players competing online, the last player standing wins the game. Champions can use special powers to take the advantage during the game.
  • High Replay-Value, thanks to the new ""Eternal Battle"" mode, play online and face opponents around the world
  • Adaptative and progressive original soundtrack, composed by Xavier Thiry
  • Dedicated online leaderboard in the 3 main modes (Neo, Retro, Battle Royale) will be available at launch, highlight the players' highest scores"

Insult

- Unable to disable CRT mode/ scanlines - Huge input lag - No replay value - "overhaul" is just a slap in the face, play the original!

Loving it but has its flaws...

I picked this up in the sale for £2.50 and its easily worth every penny of that. It contains the original Arkanoid to play but the main reason to play is obviously the battle mode which looks and plays great! But this is also its biggest downfall as the online multiplayer seems to be pretty much dead :( It supports upto 25 people at once but so far the most I have managed to play against is 2 humans and the rest made up by AI bots. Even with the bots its still fun but I cant help feel it would be a faster game with more people! I would of given it 5 stars but I docked it one for the lack of players which I suspect may be down to the high cost when not on sale.

Well worth $1.79

Regional pricing is kinda cool when you get deployed overseas. The multiplayer modes are dead by now in 2023 but endless is an ok game mode. Retro is hard. Keys are not bindable - meh. Why do I need to use the mouse to move the paddle?? Can't skip the opening text on Retro mode. Meh. Hard to see the letters on the powerups but so was the original when I played it in the arcades back when. Good game value on sale or in a bundle, if not there's probably better.

Good, but sometimes...

At some points the gameplay is choppy, making reactions unimportant. And I’m not the only one having this problem, meaning it’s unlikely to be a hardware problem.
