Arcade Mode is one of the selectable game modes for DNF Duel's Local Mode.
Overview
Identical to other fighting games, Arcade Mode tasks the player with fighting against several CPU opponents that are randomly selected until they fight Lost Warrior to clear the game. Before beginning a Arcade Route, players are capable of altering the amount of rounds to win and time limit. However, any adjusted ruleset from the normal will not saved the score.
There are 3 separate difficulties to choose from between Normal, Expert, and Slayer. The score is saved differently for each character per cleared difficulty. After selecting a difficulty, players will fight in a 8 stage route. The first 7 of the characters are randomly selected, while the last opponent will always be against Lost Warrior.
If the player was to reach the 8th stage without losing any rounds, an enhanced version of Lost Warrior can then be fought (noted by the different color scheme). The enhanced Lost Warrior can be encountered on any difficulty and ruleset so as long as the requirement is achieved.
