Fact Sheet
Description
Arcade Beasts is a cyberpunk creature-collection RPG with two ways to play. Story Mode sends players through 10 neon-drenched districts of Metallica City — exploring on foot, playing 50+ arcade machines (snake, pac-man, rhythm games, tower stackers, runners), collecting and reforging 71 Token-mon across 6 metal types, and battling 8 bosses in a unique slot-reel combat system, all wrapped in a visual-novel narrative about a teenager searching for missing parents inside a sentient AI.
Battle Arena is the game's competitive PvP layer. Players build a team of 4 Token-mon and face other players in head-to-head ranked slot-reel combat. Eight ranks climb from Arcade Rookie to Arcade BEAST, matchmaking uses ELO-style rating, and a distinct "Overdrive" phase after 12 turns forces matches to resolve quickly. Arena is fully playable without any story progress — new players can pick their starter team and jump straight into ranked.
Built over 8 months by a family-powered indie studio. 100,000+ lines of code, 417 original sprites, 29+ music tracks, two modes of play, and a fully original storyline — all brought to life by a developer, his wife as creative director, and two sons as lead playtesters.
