You must commend the hubris on display here. To charge so much for Arkanoid – Eternal Battle with its complete lack of content, when other retro battle royale games like Pac-Man 99 or Tetris 99 are giving it away for free is stunning. Compared to more expensive comparable games, Like Atari 50’s Anniversary Collection, Arkanoid Eternal Battle is embarrassingly barebones. That game not only collects countless arcades and console games, including Breakout, but several thougtful reimaginations of those classics. Thanks to the high asking price, publisher Microids ensured that the battle royale mode would be dead on arrival. Were they to reduce the price, everything included is mostly serviceable and I do think that concepts behind the Eternal Battle game mode might then have some legs. But as things stand, there is no reason not to buy one of the better Arkanoid clones out there at a fraction of the price.
