Welcome to Remnant, where the monsters aren't the only thing you have to fear. In RWBY: Arrowfell, you’ll guide our four favorite Huntresses—Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang—through a side-scrolling adventure full of danger, snappy dialogue, and enough winks to make you think your cat just saw something weird.
This game doesn’t mess around! You jump, dash, and smack Grimm harder than the morning after your buddy's all-night gaming session. But it’s not just a mindless brawler, oh no! Each character brings their own unique combat style. Ruby scythes her way through enemies like a skilled chef preparing an oversized salad, while Yang punches things with the force of a thousand caffeinated jackhammers. And let’s not forget Weiss, who can freeze your enemies faster than your heart gets cold when you see your exam score. So, whether you prefer playing as the cute scythe-wielding hyperactive girl or the cold-hearted, ice princess type (we all have a type, right?), there’s a little something for everyone in this game. The co-op feature is particularly exhilarating; take your buddy, and make them a target for all the baddies while you show off your sick combos.
Graphically, RWBY: Arrowfell is like if an anime and a comic book decided to team up and make a baby—an extremely talented baby, mind you! The 2D cel-shaded art makes everything pop, just like your aunt's bad taste in holiday sweaters. Levels are infused with vibrant colors and detailed backgrounds that feel alive and are reminiscent of the beloved series. If you’ve ever admired the heaven-sent moments of RWBY’s signature style, you’ll find it right at home—now minus the awkward 3D animation complaints!
RWBY: Arrowfell is a delightful adventure for fans of the series and newcomers alike. Sure, it's got its quirks and could have used a bit more polish, but it does capture the spirit of RWBY with its unique characters and lively gameplay. Plus, watching your friends try to keep up in co-op while you effortlessly dodge an onslaught of Grimm is worth the price of admission. So grab your controller, summon your best puns, and prepare for a side-scrolling journey that’ll get your heart pumping and your thumbs sore. After all, what’s the worst that could happen? Oh right – another Grimm monster trying to eat your face!
