You take charge of your family's laundromat, King Wash, while working toward turning it into an arcade. The business unfolds alongside a story about the protagonist's ambitions and her father's expectations.
During each workday, you handle laundry cycles, collect money, clean up, and take care of other shop tasks. Early on, laundry helps fund the arcade; as you buy machines and expand, their income can become more important. Daily tasks also offer a way to earn currency for upgrades.
You can play the arcade cabinets yourself, tackle challenges tied to each game, and build up their popularity and earnings. Use that income to unlock more machines and expand the arcade, while pursuing high scores; some cabinets also support local multiplayer.
Players who enjoy Arcade Paradise often point to the pleasure of building an arcade they can explore and play in, the variety of its retro-inspired cabinets, and its nostalgic atmosphere and music. Some also appreciate the story and the gradual shift from laundry work toward arcade management. Opinions differ on the games themselves and on how long the chore-and-progression loop stays engaging; repetitive laundry, slow progression, and bugs or control problems are recurring complaints.
Welcome to Arcade Paradise, the 90’s-fuelled retro arcade adventure. Rather than washing rags for a living, you decide to turn the family laundromat into the ultimate arcade. Play, profit, and purchase new arcade machines, with over 35 to choose from, to build your very own Arcade Paradise!
Take the laundromat business made up of dull chores from washing clothes to throwing out the trash, and turn it into a booming arcade with the coolest games in town raking in all the money!
Over 35 arcade games, each fully realized with its own gameplay, stories, missions, and high scores to set! Inspired by 3 decades of gaming, from early vector games right up to the 32-bit era.
Insert a second coin and play against a friend in a number of co-operative & competitive arcade games with up to 4 players locally.
Prove yourself across each game, set your high scores, make your favourite arcade game more popular and upload to the online leaderboards.
From the individual games to choosing what song to put on the jukebox inspired by some of the great records of the early 90s, the soundtrack captures the heart of a bygone era.
Hello 90’s. If you could smell this game, it would smell like memories. Everything from the look and feel of the arcades, to using the latest PC connected to the mind-blowing dial-up connection, all have been recreated with pure love.
Doug Cockle (famous for his voice acting in Victor Vran and The Witcher series) plays the role of Ashley’s berating father. Being too busy in the Riviera to see King Wash for himself, you will receive many phone calls from Gerald sharing his wise words of advice and constant reminders to fix the toilet.
