Skies of Arcadia is a role-playing video game developed by Overworks for the Dreamcast and published by Sega in 2000. Players control Vyse, a young air pirate, and his friends as they attempt to stop the Valuan Empire from reviving ancient weapons with the potential to destroy the world.
The game uses traditional Japanese role-playing game mechanics such as turn-based battles and experience point-based character progression, but puts greater focus on exploration, with the player flying an airship in 3D space. The development team included staff who had contributed to Panzer Dragoon Saga, Phantasy Star, Sonic the Hedgehog and Sakura Wars games.
Skies of Arcadia was one of the best reviewed games on the Dreamcast, but underperformed commercially. After Sega’s exit from the hardware industry, it was ported to the Nintendo GameCube as Skies of Arcadia Legends in 2002.

Review data for this game has not yet been added to the SEGA Universe rating system.
SEGA Universe ratings are built from the review sources available for each game.
Community reviews are submitted by SEGA Universe members and use a 5-star rating system.
SEGA Universe reviews are editorial reviews written specifically for the site and may contribute to a game’s overall score.
For games originally released on classic SEGA platforms such as the Master System, Mega Drive (Genesis), Saturn and Dreamcast, historical magazine reviews may be used to provide contemporary critic scores from the time of release. These scores are normalised to a 100-point scale before being included in the rating.
For newer releases, Metacritic scores may be used when historical critic reviews are not available.
Not every game uses the same review sources. Some games may only have community reviews, while others combine community reviews, SEGA Universe reviews and critic scores.
Each available review source contributes equally to the final rating.
