Release Date: August 11, 2022
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.

Game Ratings for Arcade Paradise Video Game.
Digital Chumps: 9 / 10 by Will Silberman
If I could go back, even for a moment, to the mid-90s era of coin-operated arcades, I would seek the closest facsimile to Nosebleed Interactive's arcade that is so perfectly constructed within Arcade Paradise VR. Until a time machine becomes available, I'll settle for putting on my PSVR2 and playing some familiar arcade titles that translate pretty darn well in the VR space, Sense controllers and all.
Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by Lowell Bell
We wholly recommend Arcade Paradise if you enjoy either simulation-style games or spent the '90s with a pocketful of quarters down at the local arcade. The narrative centred on a lazy young adult proving to their father they can run a successful business will never really grip you, and – believe it or not – laundering clothes and peeling gum off the machines becomes a bit tiresome. Yet the arcade games themselves and the sheer creativity and charm Nosebleed Interactive has packed into them more than makes up for the monotony. If we stumbled upon these games in the back of our local laundromat, we'd spend actual money there. But since that seems rather unlikely, we're sure to boot up Arcade Paradise to try for some global rankings long after we're done with laundering clothes.
VGC: 4 / 5 by Chris Scullion
While it takes a while to get going, Arcade Paradise is an outstanding celebration of the '90s arcade scene with a generous helping of fully playable retro love letters.
