The Kingdom Of Arcadia is a platformer with hack and slash combat, it is a mix of hardcore platforming and an ever so slight RPG element to the upgrading of weapons and stats. Levels are spacious and house secret rooms and alternate routes through them. As you play more enemy types appear but also more mechanics come into play like having to find levers for doors or having to find the ever so hidden exits. The Kingdom of Arcadia really is a deceptive little beast as on the surface it’s a Cutesy basic platformer but underneath it’s a hard-as-nails platformer. You only have a handful of hearts and health is hard to come by and death is a level restart, yes you keep the coins but you have to start the level over and when levels get longer and bigger it gives the whole game an air of tension that is gripping as much as it is stressful.
