The dynamic platformer game RWBY: Arrowfell is now available for smartphones
The arcade action platformer RWBY: Arrowfell reached gamers in three stages. First, on November 15, 2022, its digital version was released, on March 12, 2023 – its physical version, and on August 26, 2024, owners of Android and iOS mobile devices were able to join the game based on the adventure animated series.
A quick summary for those who haven't watched the original and missed the previous two appearances of RWBY: Arrowfell on the market:
And as a nice bonus for those familiar with the series and who watched it in English: the original cast was brought in to voice the characters.
Naturally, there was some criticism. For example, some people thought that the game was designed for fans of the series and would be uninteresting to the uninitiated, its combat system is too simplified, and its branching non-linear locations can cause confusion. But since RWBY: Arrowfell has received an impressive number of positive reviews in previous incarnations, it makes sense to evaluate it personally, especially since the game is distributed according to the free model, and Crunchyroll premium subscribers will be able to play it without ads and in-app purchases.
