The RetroRealms Arcade connects select RetroRealms games with other titles in the series that you own (games and DLC sold separately) to unlock new access and abilities and create the ultimate mash-up of horror legends!
Dash, jump, and attack with a variety of melee and ranged options, including special abilities that become unlocked and upgradeable as you progress. Shift between the "normal world" and a "nightmare realm" to discover new paths and secrets, adding an extra layer of depth to the platforming.
Navigate through hand-crafted, non-procedural levels filled with well-placed obstacles, enemies, and hidden collectibles to reward exploration. The levels strike a careful balance, providing freedom of movement while introducing just the right amount of challenge to keep you on your toes.
Choose to play as either Michael Myers from the Halloween franchise or Ash Williams from Ash vs. Evil Dead, each with their own distinct movesets and gameplay styles. Switching between the two characters changes the story and dialogue, encouraging multiple playthroughs to see how the experience shifts. Unlock new abilities and upgrades for each character, further differentiating the ways you can approach the gameplay.
Described as challenging but fair, with a difficulty curve that rewards mastery of the gameplay mechanics through pattern recognition and skill improvement. Checkpoints are strategically placed to mitigate frustration during tough sections, while the progression system of collecting currency to purchase upgrades adds a sense of meaningful advancement.
