60 of 119 · most liked firstSimple gameplay with subtle depth. Fun game to play with friends. The variety in maps and game modes makes it interesting since it's kinda tough being good at all of them. Sound design is satisfying, always good to yell "PENIS" mid-game. Shame there's no AI system or target challenege mode for single player possibilities :( strictly multiplayer I only strongly recommend if you plan on playing with friends
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shoot your opponents in the knee. No servers, no players. Only way to play is with your friend. Instead, you should play Screencheat which have bots and fun gameplay.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this game holds much potential. It feels smooth and responsive. The jumping mechanic feels familiar to anyone who has played games like tf2; Where you can rocket-jump by shooting at your feet, or dashing mid-air. If you then mix that with the twitchyness of Quake, give it a flashy ps1-polygon aestethic and add a bow and arrow, you kind of got this game; Which is really cool! However, I've only had like 2-3 matches in my 1.7 hours of playing, and you can't even explore the maps without…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Promotional pictures and videos deceive you somewhat into believing there is a single player option, there is none. The multiplayer is dead, so you are left with a very badly designed tutorial level for a game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+ Intensely fast, twitchy multiplayer title. + Quake-like arena designs. + Refined "Paranautical" dark-glowy visual style. + Linux on launch day. - A few small visual bugs... prob just satans influence. 666/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Arkshot is what I describe as an "FPS-twitch-arena-shooter" and I think that's a fitting title for it. I've been periodically testing it with the developers in their private testing group, and as such I has receieved the game at no monetary expense. That said, to me, this doesn't carry any sort of bias because I'll be buying it for at least one other person soon (as I was planning on purchasing it on release anyway), so keep that in mind I guess. With that out of the way, time to talk about…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great fun for friends and viewers! Has great game modes and great gameplay! Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun little minigame! The devs stopped by my stream and played for hours, they were great people and friendly! www.twitch.tv/games_are_magic 9/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing Arena Style game with Awesome Power ups, Brilliant game to play with a group of friends +Fast Pace Action in style of Quake and Doom +up to 4 player Multiplayer Arenas +Great Selection of maps and Game modes
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →*Real Review Below!* >Be Wizard Hat Archer >Go Invisible >Get Infinite Jumping >Penis Taunt Till Everyone Is Mad >Steal Skulls Without Killing >???? >Win Another awesome game by Code Avarice. It is simple, shallow learning curve, and is fun with friends and alcohol. Great comedic competitive gameplay through all game modes. Quirky customization options. Awesome map designs. And really great for fast paced FPS lovers. It's cheap, fun, and overall an awesome experience. Get it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead game, with only multiplayer modes... And no one is playing it. It's a shame because it looks like a pretty fun game in my opinion, but with the lack of players, it is not worth buying it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dear arkshot devs. I played your game for a total of 102 minutes before I realized I was playing a steamy turd ripoff of quake. All I do is get pwned by the other one active member of your community. Please the game servers are dead and the game is really ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Whoever gave this a positive review sucks on the ♥♥♥♥ of the devs and indie games. if my refund doesn't come through I'll sue.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's really fun with friends, would recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is really great. I'm not a fan of FPS games and I generally don't play games that are multiplayer but Arkshot is the kind of party game that makes it worthwhile to pick up. There are several game modes including "King of the Hill" and "Capture the Flag" and my personal favorite "Headhunter". Along with a dozen or so maps of varying sizes with their own added challenges on top of the game mode. Also the powerups are really creative and interesting. For example, the punching arrows…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No idea if this is a good or a bad game. It has only muiltiplayer and I never found anyone to play with. Seems to work on Linux and has no achievements.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead multi-player game. It may be fun with friends, if you have any.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Arkshot is a fps games with masses of potential. the idea of using arrows with projectile arcs is genius and while it has been done before Arkshot is entirely focused on it. The game has unfortunately been abandoned as another inde game that releases with little substance but great ideas. The lack of single player modes has ruined this game and while multiplayer is a good option, with a small player base you cannot find matches. In Arkshot, you wield a bow and a limited number of arrows; once…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Game would be fun, but the Problem is, there are no Players. So you just can play the "Tutorial", which is raher a test map. After 5-10 minutes you will have done everything possible in the test map and because there is nobody online, there is nothing more to do. It's sad, because the game would be really cool.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No one is online and it is an online only game -DoItAll on Youtube
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No Players=No Game.. Shame fun concept.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game said 1 player playing.. I looked for 3 hours and couldn't find him.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Self-proclaimed as "Quake meets Duck Game", Arkshot is an online first-person archery game developed by Code Avarice. But how does it hold up? Let's find out: Gameplay The gameplay is very enjoyable. Unlike other online shooters, it is still fun even when first trying to get used to the controls or faced with other players that are undeniably better than you. Arkshot equips you with only a bow and a handful of arrows to defend yourself against your foes. The first thing to get out of habit is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As stated by the only other negative review at this time-there ar no players on the servers whatsoever-across the world as it is broken up into like 9 different servers of 1 person...me. I only got the game thinking that since the game is brand new it would still have players like in the first few weeks of the game Screencheat. Note that the time I was searching for servers was at 930 PM US east. The gameplay itself (in practice mode) is very awkward but obviously meant for you to play it for a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →**Full disclosure: I'm friends with the devs, and I helped test the earliest pre-alpha versions. I wouldn't recommend the game if I didn't truly love it** Arkshot is a 4-player online FPS, and it's crazy fun. The simple fact that all of the weapons are bows, with realistic flight arcs, that need to be charged before shooting makes the FPS gameplay something very different from what you're used to. Game modes like deathmatch, king of the hill, and capture the flag are mouch more strategic when…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looks fun but unfortunately there is no one playing it, at all. The game suggested I make a game since there were none but no one ever joined so I can only play the training area which is about 5 minutes worth of fun before I get bored. Game looks good but I can't recommend it if I have yet to see another player online.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Arkshot is a fast fps with a focus on movement. Dodge around your enemies and use your bowmenship skills to be VICTORIOUS. Check out my vid for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLQtsb1ZWRg
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Check out the video review [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIUDZ3Wijxo&feature]here +Lots of room for a skill curve +fun pickups +Feels like a mix of Quake and Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball +Two Towers map pays homage to Quake +- Humor depending on what you think about ♥♥♥♥ jokes. I for one like taunting by yelling "PENIS" - I think the tutorial needs to explain the 'force jump' a little bit - Needs more than 4 player games - Needs Teams - A bit of spawn issues and map design…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really great game for the price. Get some freinds together and let the aiming salt enflow i hope for mask and content is added but if not thats ok. Defintly a good game for youtube videos and streams looking forward to playing it more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(video review to come soon) so far, it is a really well put together and have liked the it, a more full review is going to come soon Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpaMPgs3up8 good ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game, sometimes hard as ♥♥♥♥ to get friends together to play it though. buy it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quick fun! need friends as is a very small community, i would reccomend making it free with cosmetics? just to boost the playerbase as the core gameplay process is really neat! taunts are good
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game but no one plays it so I can not recommend
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So as a young person growing up in the 80s. I was obviously aware of the danger of aids. So I spent my life, never having unprotected sex, never shared needles, never let the urge to ♥♥♥♥ a monkey get the better of me. I never even went to a George michael concert. So I remained aids free my entire life, up until the point I loaded this aids infested ♥♥♥♥ of a game. Avoid, it's full of bad aids.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is only multiplayer in this game and it is dead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is really fun if you have friends to play with, definitly worth the price my name is chef
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it should be free to play. noone is playing the game! the game plays good and looks ok but still noone to play which is a damn shame. so of course id recommend this game to just get more players.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was an amazing game, honestly I enjoyed it very much and I loved the fact that it had the Quake 2 style combat. It just got Greenlit so im excited to see where they take it from here.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Arkshot is a fast paced game that requires that you can aim and to plan ahead. You always need to keep track of your stamina. Your stamina drains when you sprint, jump or dash towards a direction. Without stamina you can't do fast moves or even shoot. So with no stamina you're an easy target. The aiming is challenging. With only a bow and arrow you have to keep in mind that the arrows sink pretty fast and does not travel at bullet speed. And without a crosshair you need to train your memory…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really good game, great to play with buddies. would reccomend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun arena-shooter that actually functions (working online! Woah!) and arrows are an interesting twist on things. Arrows function great, have a unique arch to them and let you arrow jump. Great amount of modes. King of the Hill by far the most fun. Headhunter gets stressful but can be fun if deathmatch isn't keeping you intrerested. The spawn mechanics can be buggy, as sometimes players that died at the same time respawn in the same spot. Music is lacking as of now. Game has great humor to it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun, casual arena shooter focused around using a bow. You can pick up power ups to help (or occasionally hinder) you during matches such as Free-for-all Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Headhunter, and more! The best part is that you can just spam a button to have your character yell "PENIS!" as your friend watches you for a few seconds after their death. Some minor issues I have with the game is that it only supports up to 4 people in a match atm. It would be a ton of fun to expand some of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Arkshot is a surprisingly addictive multiplayer FPS. Pros: -Fast-paced gameplay that's reminiscent of classic FPS games like Quake -Good map variety (although there could always be more) -Pretty good mode variety, with three classics(Deathmatch, CTF, KOTH) mixed with two "more unique" picks(Headhunter, Slow Down) -Fun customizations, with a special mention to the Whiteface mask as a nod to an extremely obscure but amazing indie horror -Controller support, often overlooked in these kinds of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a fun and simple multiplayer shooter. You can either jump into a game with 3 other random players or just set up a private game to play with friends.. It's quite a 'Quake-Style' shooter that's very fun and has some rather interesting powerups that make the game entertaining. The only negative that I'll say right now is that Controller Support needs to be worked on a bit more. Other than that its a good, simple FPS that can be highly entertaining.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been with it for the longest time and this game turned out pretty dope. It's really quick, really silly and oddly enjoyable for what it is. The given modes work great and the decision to design everything for "only" four players worked out imho. Even just duelling with a friend can be really satisfying and come on, everyone knows at least one guy. If you liked the movement of Quake 3 and played Bowman in your downtime at school, this is the lovechild of both, with powerups to round it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is ridiculously fun! Its like a faster Quake! The maps are really amazing. My favorite is a map in the woods with a CREEPY amount of Fog! The game has limited arrows but after you shoot them they can be picked up off the ground. There's awesome powerups! Just stupid fun! Currently 4 players for each match but it is supposedly going to be raised to 8. The devs even came in and played with us on May 19th! Disclaimer: I received this code from Spoonmore's Giveaway on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I generally dont like multiplayer games at all but i really do like this game, With all the fun game modes, skins, taunts, ect you cant help but have fun. 10/10 Happy Hunting ^_^
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 needs more fat orgasm
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another game proving that you don't need fancy graphics to be a good game. This charming arena shooter, obviously taking inspiraton from Quake and other arena shooters, is one of my current favorite games. Pros: free bow ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ masks and taunts(sounds), large selection of maps and gamemodes, great gameplay. Cons: sometimes the chat freezes up, and the bow consumes a lot of stamina. Overall: 9/10 would recommend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't mind me, I'm here just for the cards
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game, no joke, is so much fun with friends. I highly recommend buying this game for $5, You're not gonna regret it. I swear. On my left nut. Please don't refund, because i'll lose my left nut.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Actually a really fun and challenging shooter. Only downside is the player base. Fun if you have a couple friends to play with!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its sooooo good im unironically depressed its dead
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a great game to play with friends, but don't get it unless you have some friends with it to play with, because it doesn't have enough players to support an online community. Provided you have people to play it with, it's a great price. (especially when on sale)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nobody's playing this game even though it's at a 66% discount on the Summer sale and unfortunately that means there's no reason to buy it. Shame because it looks like a lot of fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun. Needs more people to play, otherwise the only way to play is with friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hey thats pretty good Hey thats pretty good Hey thats pretty good
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool game so far! What i would like to see however is a map editor, an option to turn the obcenity off, and a deeper character customization (aka not having to be a little witch demon). Overall pretty cool game to play with some friends and relax. But devs...MAP EDITOR
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very simple and effectively fun with some friends. Next to no one plays online so you need to arange with friends to play. Does what the game says very well.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is awesome! It's a shame not more people are playing it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty Fun Don't See Why This Isn't More Popular
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →please get this game, so we can play it
