Arcadium: Space Odyssey has just launched on iOS and Android, bringing a fresh take to the beloved top-down space shooter genre. Get ready to zap through adversaries and even fly dangerously close to the sun itself!

The space shooter genre has a storied history, and Arcadium: Space Odyssey, now available in early access on Android and through TestFlight on iOS, adds a new chapter. Drawing inspiration from the popular Vampire Survivors formula, Arcadium offers a modern twist with its simple yet engaging gameplay reminiscent of Space Invaders. Players navigate through a sea of enemies, blasting their way to victory.

But Arcadium isn't just about shooting; it's also about strategy and exploration. The beautifully rendered pixel planets aren't merely for show. By flying towards them, you can harvest resources that are crucial for upgrading and customizing your ship in various ways, enhancing your gameplay experience.

Space is the place - Arcadium leverages its space setting to the fullest. Instead of a static background, you'll encounter various unnatural objects and even have the chance to dive close to a burning sun. This dynamic environment allows you to explore and manipulate the astral void to your advantage—or face the consequences if you're not careful.

For those interested in the technical aspects, Arcadium supports both landscape and portrait modes, ensuring flexibility in how you play. The game also promises high replayability, making it an excellent choice for fans looking for an astral twist on the Survivors format.

While Arcadium takes cues from Vampire Survivors, it stands out as a unique entry in the bullet heaven genre. If you're curious about similar games, be sure to explore our list of the top 7 games like Vampire Survivors for more thrilling experiences.
