## Review summary

Arcadium - Space War is praised for its music, responsive controls, unlockable progression, and visuals, delivering a strong retro arcade experience. However, players frequently cite UI and startup glitches (inaccessible main menu, starfield/black screens), joystick/input issues, progress grinding, and lack of cloud save. When running smoothly, it shines as a fun offline arcade shooter with engaging upgrades.

### Cons

- Startup issues with being stuck on a starfield screen across devices
- Joystick size/sensitivity issues (small joystick; changes disliked) and mouse control problems
- Progression can feel grinding due to high bit requirements
- No cloud save / progress not transferable when switching devices
