An FPP simulation game in which we run our own arcade. Arcade Paradise includes over 35 different arcade machines, each of which we can play. The game supports singleplayer and local multiplayer during the arcade mini-games.
Arcade Paradise is a simulation game in which we run our own arcade. It was developed by an indie studio Nosebleed Interactive.
The story of Arcade Paradise doesn't matter much. We play as Ashley, whose father has entrusted her with the family laundromat.The protagonist has a much more interesting business idea in mind, however, as she decides to transform it into a thriving arcade.
Arcade Paradise is a first-person game (FPP). Since we start the game off with nothing, the family laundromat is our initial priority. We must wash clothes brought by customers, clean up and take out the trash. Over time our wallet starts filling up and we'll be able to afford our first arcade machine. Our collection slowly grows as we proceed through the game, until eventually there's no trace of the old laundromat left.
The game features over 35 machines, each equipped with a unique game inspired by an actual iconic game from the arcade era. They include racing games, beat 'em ups, fighting games and shoot 'em ups. Most importantly, we can play every single one ourselves, striving to achieve better results.
Arcade Paradise is mostly a singleplayer game, but every arcade mini-game supports local multiplayer for two people.
Visually, Arcade Paradise is decent, at a similar level to other simulation games. The arcade mini-games feature pixel art graphics reminiscent of the 8-bit and 16-bit eras. The soundtrack, coming from the jukebox in our arcade, is similarly inspired by the 1990s, the arcade golden age.

Checkpoint Gaming: 6.5 / 10 by Tom Quirk
Arcana of Paradise – The Tower is a decent addition to any roguelike deckbuilder fan's library. With its real-time gameplay adding tension to what is generally a slower, more tactical affair, it's a refreshing twist on the formula. The inventive combination of card-based gameplay and puzzles also incentivises experimentation in an interesting way. Unfortunately, despite its gameplay strengths and gorgeous presentation, the shallow setting and lack of sufficient encounter variety cause the experience to become repetitive after only a few hours.

If you're nostalgic for the 90s and genuinely enjoy minigame compilations, Arcade Paradise is utterly essential. The title's tongue-in-cheek tycoon gameplay and simulator window dressing serve as the backdrop for dozens upon dozens of video game parodies, spanning a GTA-style Pac-Man clone through to an OutRun-inspired futuristic racer. Not every idea shines, but the sheer density of content alone means you'll never get bored. And with an addictive progression system that's forever tempting you with something shiny on the horizon, this release actually lives up to its name: it's truly an arcade paradise.
