There are few things more satisfying than nailing a perfect shot, and Archerio is hoping to turn that feeling into a full roguelite adventure.
Now available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC with Xbox Play Anywhere support, this fast-paced action game puts a bow in your hands and a whole lot of trouble in front of you.

Aim, Dodge And Survive
In Archerio you enter a series of handcrafted arenas, grab your bow and attempt to survive increasingly dangerous waves of enemies and traps. Of course, staying alive is where things get interesting.
Every run gives you opportunities to improve your abilities and stats, allowing you to shape your character around the way you like to play. Some runs might favour careful positioning and precise shooting, while others could encourage a more aggressive approach built around movement, dashes and powerful upgrades.
The important thing is that every arrow counts.
Build Your Perfect Archer
The roguelite structure means no two attempts should play out exactly the same. As you progress, you’ll unlock abilities, improve your stats and discover upgrades that can dramatically change how your character performs.
That gives Archerio plenty of room for experimentation. Finding a combination of upgrades that clicks can turn a difficult run into one that suddenly feels far more manageable – until the game inevitably finds another way to ruin your day.
The action takes place across ancient temples and dangerous arenas, with deadly traps and increasingly demanding enemies keeping the pressure on.
Can Webnetic Bounce Back?
There’s an interesting little footnote for us here. We’ve recently checked out Hex Park, also from Webnetic, and unfortunately that one only managed a 1.5/5 in our review.
That makes Archerio something of a redemption opportunity, and the increased price point of this one is promising. The premise certainly looks more immediately suited to the quick-fire style of game that works well on Xbox too, although whether the roguelite systems have enough depth to keep players returning will ultimately decide how well this one hits the bullseye.
For now, though, Archerio is available for £7.09 on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with Play Anywhere support included. Just head over to the Xbox Store if you’re looking for a budget-friendly action roguelite where every run is another chance to sharpen your skills. It could be worth taking aim.
