Evaluation

Arcus launched on December 31, 2020 as a complete, story-based fantasy action game. The developer posted two bug fix patches in early January 2021 — addressing arrow collision issues, a softlock, and minor UI fixes — and has not communicated anything since January 5, 2021. There are no announcements of additional content, no unreleased DLC on the store, no roadmap, and no post-launch update pattern beyond those initial launch-window patches. The game appears to have shipped as a finished product, with post-launch activity limited to launch-window bug fixing.

About this game

Arcus is a fantasy action game where failure is just the next step in the story. Use a bow to aim and fire arrows at invading enemies. Swing your sword at any angle to get past enemy defenses. Spend resources between missions to buy special arrow types and increase your chances of success while you solve the mystery behind the new undead skeleton faction in a land where magic has been made taboo.
