About the game
Arcadia Quest is a campaign-based dungeon crawler where players lead guilds of heroes battling monsters and each other to claim the city of Arcadia. Each player controls three unique heroes, completing quests across scenarios while choosing their own path through the branching campaign. Along the way, heroes gain new weapons, equipment, and abilities that carry forward into future scenarios. Its PvP-and-PvE hybrid structure and colorful miniatures make it a lively, competitive take on the dungeon crawler genre.
Hobbli's Notes
Hobbli's editorial team enjoys how Arcadia Quest blends cooperative dungeon-crawling with direct player-versus-player competition, creating a lively, aggressive campaign experience. The choose-your-own-path scenario structure keeps campaigns feeling personalized between groups. Persistent hero upgrades give a satisfying sense of progression across sessions. The vibrant miniatures and quick scenario length make it an easy game to bring to the table repeatedly.
