• General Look and Feel

Legend of Arcadia’s Universe (Source: Medium.com/@LegendofArcadia)

"The background story in the Arcadia Universe is pretty good and the anime references in the game’s lore anime make me happy. The sound effect and graphics are pretty decent and smooth at the same time. The gameplay is enjoyable but when you reach higher stages you can't do anything. The only thing that you can do is to wait a bit and then come back again after 5 hours and claim EXP, and upgrade or level up your stands." - (A.G.Taki)

"I enjoy the game because of its graphic and design of the characters is so catchy that you can't forget, If you are planning to play the game you will need to get a character for you to progress quickly from the game but if you are not competing for the leaderboard you would not need to buy a character as it would be sufficient if you just get a free gacha ball from the game’s Discord server."- (A.G.Luna)
