Hahahahaha xD
I just want to jump in here on what the game being arcade style means, and no it dont mean arcade machines or light gun arcade machines...
It comes from the racing games from the start and then in early 90s when simulators came out where those players needed to explain the aproach of a game, what difference is it between this game about airplanes and this game about airplanes that sim players say is much more realistic and exactly like reality in terms of what one can do:
Arcade game play: Its based on reality but instead of trying to go for super realism, take FTEs way of launching rockets or basicly all perks like throw a grenade: You have a cooldown and random chance of knocking enemies down, yes one can do that in reality too but here its done with a waiting time and its a time limited perk. Like ridgetop called: games being games.
Example of other games that has arcade style gameplay: need for speed, ace combat, world of tanks, warthunder(although it can be seen as light sim), rainbow six seige.
Arcade just means its often things from real world that has been adapted to a game and make it fun. Like in world of tanks where you can chose perks and skills and level up your crew and tanks, unlock new weapons etc and repairs can be done at once with certain perks, so one dont need to wait for repairs and it has cool down effects, and the repairs are still very short unlike from reality.
It dont mean that the game is easy or there isnt much inside the game or lack of content or its very light on customising and options, a lot of games with the arcade style set up has tons of it, like the mmo games I mentioned. No it dont either mean FTE is played on an actual arcade machine either.
Hope that made it somewhat clear but definition of arcade gameplay varies as opinions do
FTE for a hoard game has a ton of options and like Ridgetop and others said: ton of perks and options to go through and if one want to unlock it all and play around with it, then one have months of playing to do and its here FTE shines as most other horde shoters dont come close to doing this with all content and EU references and lore references. Keep in mind its a horde game and the whole point like the reviews says is to shot enemies and survive in areas and can get repetive but thats the charm and fun of it and as that and new things AFTE do its a really good game and fun one.
