Light Speed Arena Review

"You fire up the integrated app, and it calls out rounds with a 10-second timer. During the time, you have to position your ship on the table and face its guns towards what you want to shoot. When the time's up, it's hands off and the next round begins. After all ships have been placed, you take a picture with the app and it scans everything."

"Then the app walks you though the scoring, round by round. It shows where each ship shoots and you click the screen to collect your points. After it goes through all rounds, it totals up the score and announces the winner. The future is here. Light Speed Arena caught me off guard with just how amazing it is. Both in the excitment of the gameplay and how fabulous the app is."

Ares Games released Light Speed Arena, a real-time spaceship-battling game that combines physical ship tiles with an integrated app. Players begin with multiple ship tiles, each featuring up to three guns and sometimes a shield. The app signals timed rounds, during which players physically position ships and aim guns toward targets. After placement, players photograph the table and the app scans the layout, then walks through scoring round by round, showing shots and awarding points. The app handles bookkeeping unobtrusively, streamlines scoring, and enhances the fast, exciting gameplay experience.
