RWBY: Arrowfell Reviews

Absolutely love RWBY but this game is awful, combat is pitifully limited to attack and semblance which feel unsatisfying, no dodge or block, hitboxes are often unclear and ranged attacks cost health in the universe where everything is also a gun. The missions are literally bottom of the barrel but if you like going and getting a drink for one of the ace-ops or making armour literally for a lazy guy's ass and them being counted as legitimate story missions then go for it. No voice acting apart from cutscenes. The art style is on the verge of chibi-fying everything so the models aren't even outstanding. I cannot recommend this unless you really want to support RWBY, the only reason i'm not getting a refund.

un juego bastante entretenido y corto, a diferencia de lo que muchos dicen no considero que la corta duracion suponga algo malo, mas bien al contrario, jamas entendere a la gente que quiere juegos de 100+ horas, a mi parecer cuando pasan ese limite se vuelven aburridos, volviendo al tema, el unico defecto que le veo a este juego es el sistema de progreso, hubiera preferido un sistema en el que los 4 personajes suban por igual al mismo tiempo.

[b] Overall: 3/10 [/b] How RWBY: Arrowfell isn't reviewed more negatively is one of life's great mysteries. This game is a genuine slap in the face of RWBY fans. We're barely one step above asset flipped shovelware here, the game doesn't even have the benefit of looking good. The in-game sprites are chibified and the artwork barely even looks like the characters. Somehow this game manages to strike the perfect balance of requiring you come in with prior knowledge of RWBY (as it explains nothing) but is also a game where you could entirely remove the RWBY theme from it and it genuinely wouldn't change much. The fact that they charge nearly $40 CAD for this is an absolute crime against humanity, this game is barely worth $5. I really don't understand how they consistently botch RWBY games, its a show that should translate perfectly to video games. Avoid this one. If for some reason you still want to buy it, I'll leave a more comprehensive breakdown below. [b] ---Breakdown--- [/b] [b] Worth the Money?

I almost exclusively play games on controller (when applicable) which gives me a unique perspective from that of somebody gaming exclusively via mouse and keyboard. The overall score above is entirely just for fun, it really doesn't mean anything! A numeric score will always only be subjective, you are I aren't likely to agree! The breakdown is meant to give you more useful information about various aspects of the game in a relatively unbiased way. The goal is to give you a more complete picture of what the game has to offer so you can make an informed decision with your money. This review system is an active work in progress so if you have any feedback at all, I am absolutely open to suggestions!
