  • Abstract:  Lord of Arcana left me speechless. Not in the way that video games often do; in fact, when a game is ostensibly good or offensively bad, it's hard for me to keep my mouth shut. It is in my nature to talk about games to praise their prowess and attack t...

  • Great graphics, nice fight system, and fun combos,
  • Uncomfortable target lock, difficult camera controls, timed quests.
  • Some people love a good grinding game. Some games try to make grinding as fun as possible while others just make the rewards worthy of the time, but in the end there are people who enjoy or at the least don't mind a grind and those who avoid it at al...

  • Lord of Arcana is a fun addicting game with decent multiplayer support. It’s a light grinder, with fun combat and can get you addicted for a good chunk of time since it constantly rewards you as you progress. When the player feels rewarded there is a ...
