With a solid foundation of gameplay mechanics coupled with a ‘loot and combine’ system that keeps the player hooked, a difficulty setting that is mostly right, and a theme that doesn’t take itself too seriously compared to other entries in the genre, Arboria has a bright future ahead. A few bugs in the sound department were not detrimental enough to keep us from enjoying the game, and the lack of variety in enemies and environments is something that could be expanded upon later.

Critic reviews
- Arboria is what I’d like to call a “status quo” game—as in it fits in with the current “gaming climate” (or whatever you want to call it) very nicely, but fails to make any kind of a splash. You play games like these because they’re already made up of components with which you’re comfortable, and, as a result, end up cozying up to said new game with relative ease. It’s not a bad thing to like, or even create games like these (several of my personal favorites fall into this category as well!), but, without that special “drive” to go the extra distance, you’ve already gone as far as you can go before things have even gotten started with that. Simply put, Arboria‘s just fine—and that’s all there is to it.
- 8.0Arboria’s Souls-inspired combat is solid and it does some original things with the roguelike genre. It’s a modest title to be sure, but punches well above its weight when it comes to pure entertainment value. It’s weird and irreverent, doesn’t take itself too seriously, and all its systems work pretty well together.
- In Arboria, players start a journey in this dark rogue-lite game as a warrior descending into the caverns to heal your life tree and pay tribute to the gods. Descend into the ever-changing Durnar and uncover the mysteries of your tribe. Fighting your way through some creepy crawlies with a variety of Symbiotic Weapons. There is potential in this game that, at least at this point in early access, is not yet fully realized.
- 7.4Arboria is a fairly fun hack-and-slash roguelike adventure game with all its potential coming from how long you’re willing to play it for. It’s easy to jump in and out but truly becomes rewarding when you spend time developing your Yotun and exploring the dangerous depths of the ever-changing Durnar.
- Arboria è senza dubbio un rogue lite interessante, che forse esce in un periodo sbagliato, circondato da giochi dello stesso tipo tutti di un livello piuttosto alto. L’aspetto grafico accattivante, l’ambientazione originale e il solido sistema di combattimento e crescita del personaggio devono fare i conti con una scarsa varietà di nemici e quest che rendono le run un po’ tutte uguali.
