The game actually went by a different name a month ago, and was also newly released that time. It suddenly underwent a significant rebranding, transitioning from its original title, "The Wandering Ark," to now "The Pixel Ark." This change was accompanied by the release of an entirely new app (with the exact same game inside) and introduced a host of new problems, particularly for older players.

The core gameplay of The Pixel Ark revolves around a 5v5 battle on a rectangular arena, where heroes engage in pinball-style combat. Players set trajectories for their units, launching them to bump into opponents for damage. This unique gameplay mechanic introduces a fresh and enjoyable experience, even if the story is a bit all over the place.
The progression system, despite featuring gacha microtransactions, provides a balanced free-to-play experience. Upgrading and progression feel smooth without the presence of energy or stamina elements, making the game enjoyable for both paying and non-paying players. Although if you’re a previous player, there’s a good chance you might have lost your account during the transition to this app.
