  • Arcade Paradise arrives on the Nintendo Switch but is this arcade tycoon laundromat simulator worth your time? Well it's quite the combination of elements, that's for sure!
    Welcome to Arcade Paradise, the 90’s retro arcade game and light-management sim combo! From cleaning toilets and picking up gum, to doing the laundry; the road to Arcade Paradise isn’t easy, but the reward will be worth the grind!
    Take on the role of Ashley and manage the day-to-day tasks of running the family laundromat. Rebel against your father’s wishes and create a games arcade to give the sleepy town of Grindstone something to really get excited about as you wash rags, invest the profits and build your very own Arcade Paradise!
    The more arcade cabinets you install, the more players will spend, with over 35 fully playable games to unlock! But remember, you don’t have time to just stand around setting the highest scores… the toilet won’t clean itself and there’s trash to take out!
    Relive 90’s gaming nostalgia on your journey from rags to arcade riches!

    You will like the game more later on. You make so much money with the arcade that you don't have to do laundry anymore. Can also buy powerups to make the day longer and make the machines break down less.

    I thought from the trailer that you had to play the games to make money. Is that not the case? I love grindy simulator games. If this really is more about the arcade building and management I think I'd likely really like kt

    • @MuztangGT
      @MuztangGT Před rokem +1

      You can play the games and that upgrades that particular games popularly which will effect how much that game brings in. But at first your main income is the laundromat then you will begin to start making more from the arcade.

    I never heard of this game until I saw this review. Am I the only one who finds the whole thing utterly unappealing? As others have said, it's a freakkin' chore simulator! What makes this even worse are the logical inconsistencies Alex mentioned (thus breaking immersion), topped off by all those wonderful game mechanics-breaking bugs, too.
    All this has going for it are some well done retro aesthetics and parodic pop references.
    The backlog remains safely unscathed... this time. This an easy pass for me.

      As someone who puts way too many hours into these kind of chore simulators, I can say that I'm not the only one who finds them really relaxing to play. They are definitely for a niche audience but you'd be surprised at how many people like these kinds of games. One man's chore simulator is another man's treasure 😂

      Not your fault. They also purposely kept it ambiguous. The father does confirm Lesley as the sister. I just think it’s a nice feature in this day and age. Besides, you mentioned family issues in the beginning- I hope all is well.
