  Outside of the online – which adopts a seasonal format and sees you unlocking new cosmetics as you work through the ranks – there’s a modernised version of single player Arkanoid which includes new power-ups and a combo system, as well as the 1986 original, both with online leaderboards. There’s also a rounds-based versus mode for four-person local multiplayer play.

  Arkanoid Eternal Battle is fun for a while but can get frustrating very quickly. With no option to save your progress, this hampers my score. I wish there was an option for an offline/easy mode, a bit like Tetris 99 has, but otherwise it’s a solid title if you loved the original.

  Arkanoid Eternal Battle is an approachable game that delivers some timeless fun. But much like Bubble Bobble 4 Friends, it’s another Taito arcade classic that’s taken one step forward, two steps back. It brings less content to the table while asking for more money from the players.

  Arkanoid: Eternal Battle is a fun take on a dated and immovable gameplay loop, that suffers from the fact it will only be fully enjoyed if more people buy it and play its excellent battle royale mode.

  Eternal Battle is not without good ideas in spots, and while the effort on bringing another retro classic into the BR fold is appreciated, it’s far from the most emergent or compelling of takes in the sub-genre.

  To its credit, Arkanoid - Eternal Battle is designed for a specific audience, however, it is one that it might struggle to find on home consoles. It looks fine, sounds good, and plays well enough what it is, but there is very little reason to keep playing beyond a passing fancy. Unfortunately, Arkanoid - Eternal Battle cannot rightfully be recommended at its current price point. There simply is not enough worthwhile content or individuality to call Arkanoid - Eternal Battle a worthwhile purchase at this time. Maybe pick this one up if it goes on sale or is added to PlayStation Plus.
