Read full description
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.
