Will Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore's niche inspiration of a forgotten platform resonate with a modern audience?
“February is always a short month but it sure didn't feel like it with all of the top-quality indies that released during it. Let's dive right in!” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.

WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore could have just been a solid joke title with everyone in on the punchline and then the developers would have laughed all the way to the bank. Instead, we have a banger of a title that is both artistically wonderful and plays like Shantae meets Rygar. It’s not just buffaloing ahead to watch the cutscenes: it’s getting better and finding satisfaction in exploration, response and style. This game is such a left field hit soaring clean over the wall. I love how the sprites look, the sound plays, the game responds and the replay value that comes from some extra modes to uncover. This is a jewel unto itself, and can stand alone as an absurdist take on a meaty genre. Come for the jokes, but stay for the gameplay."
