For this week's Mobile Friday i tried Arcane Knight: Idle RPG from developers Eastmoon, ‪@eastmoon391‬ , my #iPhone 14 Pro.

On the App Store, i thought the artwork and the trailer for Arcane Knight: Idle RPG were interesting so i wanted to give it a go. it seemed like the main focus for the game was the action and even tho it's an idle game we, the player, still had a decent amount of control over our character.

Arcane Knight: Idle RPG starts with a pretty decent tutorial but it kinda fizzles out before, i feel, it has finished teaching us about the game. many of these idle games forget to teach us about all the little icons and red dots they put on the screen. but there was another element that i had no idea what was happening because either the game forgot to tell me or the game told me but the information was on screen for too short a time. this happened quite frequently where something useful was put on screen but was only up for a second or two before being removed and not mentioned again.

Thankfully the game does give some advice when our run ends on how to do better next time and the tutorial does try to show us these options. But because of how generic Arcane Knight: Idle RPG ended up being, anyone familiar with this genre will know what to do here. There were moments of poor translation but, again, i knew what to do.

I did appreciate the game not forcing it's shop upon us, there were no ads either. this video is longer than normal as it was easy to play and i didn't feel like i had reached the point where i needed to grind away by putting the game to idle mode. the downside of this is is that the game never explained the idle mode. there was no tutorial for it nor was there a story element for it. i remember reading the start of a warning about it, but the text left the screen far to quick.

Arcane Knight: Idle RPG is a fine game. it looks nice and the action is pleasant to watch. but i found the music and sound effects to be poor and in my time with it it didn't seem to offer anything new or interesting in comparison to the other idle games. It's not a bad game but perhaps it's more for fans of the genre.

Version 1.0.11 Played.
