"RWBY: Arrowfell is a solid stage-based Metroidvania-lite that offers enough 2D fun to please most fans of the genre. With that in mind, a lot could be done to make it a more fulfilling experience when it comes to its …"

"Four huntresses from the web animated series have taken on the enemies in a new game that can entertain, but does not bring anything extraordinary and it is easily forgettable."

"Still solidly made with a few hours of fun to kill if you don’t mind the excessive fetch quests, but nothing that’ll impress fans of platformers or help get non-fans like me into the series."

"It doesn&s;t thoroughly unpack its good ideas, and relies too heavily on repetitive combat scenarios and fetch quests. Still, the game&s;s focus on character swapping and backtracking exploration delivers decent results and the quirky characters of the RWBY franchise go …"

"RWBY: Arrowfell is a passable action platformer, but there are many better options on the market. For those who are big fans of the franchise, perhaps the game is more engaging, but it is far from being a strong recommendation …"

"As far as game license cash grabs go, RWBY: Arrowfell could have been worse. At the very least, there&s;s a serviceable action platformer game here with loads of potential, but it&s;s squandered by boring-level design and all-around simplicity."

"RWBY: Arrowfell is not a title we would necessarily call wholly bad, but it feels lacking especially when considering that the teams behind it have such a great track record for platformers and fighting titles."

"RWBY: Arrowfell is a fine enough game, but it also feels like the kind of thing you might&s;ve discovered on Newgrounds back when Flash games were popular. Elements like the shallow combat and tacked-on skill point system don&s;t feel properly …"

"If you’re an RWBY fan, there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy RWBY: Arrowfell on the whole, despite some frustrations. We’d say it’s even accessible to newcomers, too, though they might be a little less enamoured with it due to not …"

"RWBY: Arrowfell is the definition of a mixed bag. Rewarding and fast-paced exploration does provide some satisfaction, but the combat, which makes up the majority of the game, fails to impress through the awkward way in which character progression has …"

"Anyway, RWBY: Arrowfell is a game that exists. It&s;s not objectively bad—sure, there are many things much worse—but it&s;s definitely not a game I&s;ll even consider playing again. But the cartoon is cool, so go check it out, but be …"
