VERY cool arcade, and very budget-friendly! 10 dollars for all-day play (except pinball)! We had a great time. Friendly staff, clean store with santizer bottles throughout.

This place truly is like a time capsule, if you never had arcades growing up and wanted to see what one was like, this is the place to be. Same thing if you have kids and wanted to show them what it was like to go to an arcade growing up. This place has everything from Initial D to Pinball Machines to an 8 man Daytona Racing machine all the way at the back. They do have a lot of home consoles you can try too, including a PS5. The fighting game community is really strong here too and the employees are lovely. If youre bored and have an extra $10 (which allows you to play all day) lying around, come to Boss Battle Games to experience an awesome blast from the past.

Fantastic collection of old and newer arcade cabinets, meticulously cared for. Beautiful pinball tables. Inviting and knowledgeable staff. Loved sharing time with my 8 year old at a mall arcade like I did as a kid. Kind of felt guilty only paying $10 per person for unlimited play all day.

As a kid who grew up in the heyday of arcades in the 1990s, this is the best representation of cabinets I’ve seen in 15-20 years. They have taken great care of these games and have replaced monitors and buttons and joysticks and kept these machines working for people to play. There is an amazing selection and the staff is easy to talk with. They have all the hits from the 80s and 90s as well as some more modern machines. What a great way to spend $10!

This arcade is awesome. Its a retro modern arcade (in my opinion). Its also extremely cheap compared to any other arcade. You pay $10 and get to play till they close the only thing that isnt included is the pinball machines.it is really worth going to wherever you are.

Great deal pay $10 and play all you want. A lot of fun classic games as well as systems to play on. My daughter and I had a blast on the Daytona racing game in the back racing 8 people at once. Definitely recommend and I will definitely be back!!

Love the new $10 unlimited, love this place

Packed with games. Every game I remember from back in high school. I had a great time and so did my youngsters. Came on cos play day and it was a blast.

Love this arcade! The $10 wristbands are an amazing deal, and you get to play all day. Great selection of arcade, video, and pinball games. Highly recommend. 💙

We came here for date night. $10 a piece and we played for over 3 hours until the mall started to close. They have a nice variety of games and we will definitely be back!

This place is top notch. I brought a party 12 and we spent 7 hrs here. I love seeing places like this still exist.

YEAH! Classic Arcade Games, ALL THE FAVORITES! ** $10 gets you 8 HOURS OF UNLIMITED PLAY..... AND YOU CAN LEAVE, AND COME BACK ALL DAY!!!!

This place should take out the pinball and just be a video game arcade When you go there for a state wide tournament and 80% of your machines are malfunctioning and not just little issues that you are also charging a dollar a play when 70%of them should have been 50 cents at the most when functioning properly In the condition they were in today the fact that it cost anything to play them let alone $1 a game is a bad joke and the fact that you had no mention of it on your recent post shows how much you really cared about it being there I will never go here for another tournament or any other reason ever again

Awesome place to just hang out. So many interesting and cool arcade cabinets that I have never seen. Newer games are also available like Super Smash Bros Ultimate and there is even a PS5 to play and that is cool if you cant get one yet. And for only 10 dollars for an all day pass! You can get the rist band and leave to walk around for a bit just to come back later. Take the kids or go alone.

For a Gen Xer, theres plenty to enjoy. Lots of games and memories. I highly recommend for a nostalgic date if youre a gamer born in the 70s or 80s.Id love to see one open in Carmel! Clay Terrace has space available (hint hint).

We had a blast I brought my 10 year old friend and we played so many games ... And to be unlimited was great so no hunting for quarters or losing a game 🎯 ... Will be back again thats for sure

A wonderful trip down memory lane! A classic arcade with unlimited free play! Exactly what I dreamed of as a child! Great place to bond and spend time with my son! Playing games old and new! 10 stars!

Super cheap!! Love playing DDR and all the other rhythm games!

Best arcade I have visited in Indianapolis. Nice place for new and vintage arcade games. It has a fun family friendly atmosphere. The facility is clean. There is a wide range of games to choose from. I enjoyed that there were not kids running around unsupervised. I liked that no one stood behind me waiting for a game. It seemed everyone was very respectful of others while they were playing. There are enough games along with a wide variety of games for everyone.At the time I am writing this, you can choose to play for an hour for $7 or all day for $10. My family stayed and played games for about 4 hours. We took a break to go out in the mall to get a snack. We went right back to playing games, after the snack, until it was closing time.My teenage sons had a blast playing games against each other. and against my wife and I. They played many games they did not know even existed. I enjoyed playing games with them. They stated they want to come back when we can stay longer. Priceless.

BEST ARCADE IN INDY. This place is great! All of their machines are well kept and ready to play. The selection is perfect and the staff is very inviting. Only thing they need now is a cafe inside so you dont have to leave.

Very nice selection of games and got some home systems setup to boot. Pretty cool that they also sell some gaming stuff. Unfortunately, I could not work here, especially closing. By closing I mean just shutting the gate and staying in and playing until I pass out. 😝

On a weekday I did a Pay by the hour. ($7/per) Pretty fun—I ended up trying a lot of games I wouldn’t have if it was pay per game. ^_^ Lots of retro games. Some solid rhythm games too.

They have every game you could dream of playing. You can spend all day in there for only a $10 a day one time fee! They also have cool stickers and stuffed animals. The owners are super friendly and helpful, and create an awesome atmosphere

The people here are amazing! They went out of their way to make sure my son had a blast. The games are on point and is worth every dime I spent there. I recommend this place to everyone and we will definitely be back again!

My wife and I took are son for his birthday and it was a blast. We will definantely be back again!!! House of the living a Dead,Mortal Kombat,Street Fighter and anything else you could think of. Its a 90s kid throwback!!!!

My kids (19 17 & 7) and I enjoyed 6 hours there today! We were in town for Youth National Bowling Events and wandered upon your Retro Arcade. 5☆

I have been to many arcades over the years and this is one of the best American arcades that I have been to. There is a good mix of new and old games. Think of how Chuck-E-Cheese was in the 80s and early 90s before the focus changed to small children.There is a good atmosphere. Its not too loud, and has appropriate lighting. The machines are well maintained and appear to be as brand new in most cases. Although they have many more games than the other arcades that have been in Castleton mall over the years, it didnt feel cramped. Most arcades like this are filled with redemption games but this place doesnt waste space on them. I didnt expect to find newer games here (post 2000s), but they have them.As for customer service, I wont get too much into the specific details but the person at the front desk was a little rude, or at the very least unapologetic. However the other person working at the arcade was very friendly. Its not worth docking the star review but first impressions really matter, especially when you are paying to enter a place that you know almost nothing about.For 10 dollars all day play, it is a good value. You can play, go grab something to eat or just leave for whatever reason, and return later. This seems to be the standard these days. The pinball games cost per play extra but those machines have a large up front as well as maintenance cost, so it is understandable.If youre looking for a classic arcade experience, Id skip Dave and Busters and check this place out at least once. I will be coming back soon.

Best arcade in Indiana hands down! Friendly staff, great value, wide selection of machines (especially racing games) and frequent new additions.

Excellent experience! My daughter surprised me and took me here and it was fantastic! Flat fee and game all day. Tons of choices including TMNT which I had been wanting to play for weeks. Can’t wait to go back!

100% awesome experience. My childhood came flooding back. From Simpsons to Mortal Kombat. Its highly recommended for anyone. Especially husbands whos wives spend massive amounts of time shopping. And you can chill in arcade.

We came for my Granddaughters birthday. There were a lot of games offering more than enough to keep the group entertained and happy.

I took my family to this arcade today for the first time. We drove 100 miles to come see it and we were not let down! Definitely has the feel of a old school arcade that I grew up with and loved but does it take the amount of money to play games that I used to pay. For $10 you can get it all day pass and that is a great deal. Not only do they have all the classic games that I grew up loving, they have a ton of new games for modern-day age. My sister and I laughed because we spent a lot of time playing the Mario games, which we have at our home. I guess you cant help but love the classics. But this is definitely an awesome place to check out with your family and have a lot of fun. Definitely check it out if you get the opportunity.

Great way to spend the afternoon with my grandson!! First visit but it DEFINITELY wont be our last!!!

Its awesome. You would think that my kids having VR headsets would not find it interesting but they love it.

Want to relieve the old days of arcades without all the need for quarters? (Well except for the pinball) Say no more! Blast away at gun games and punch the bejeuse out of your boredom with old cabinet fighting games. Need something to settle your craving for games from Japan? Get your Otaku on here as well.Loved the place will be coming back.

$10 for all day is a great deal

Got almost all the old-school games. My kids like it I do too.

Lots of classics, lots of fun. Pay once and play all day is a great deal

A wonderful time at a cheap price, highly recommend for groups or going alone. Something to note is that you cant bring food into it, so plan accordingly.

Honestly, pretty great place to just cut loose and have fun! Staff is pretty chill and polite.

One of the most amazing arcades around. Havent seen so many cabinets, and the staff was extremely friendly!

This place is awesome! Spent all Sunday afternoon playing games. Took my teenage daughter with me and we both had a great time! Game selection is great! Customer service was great! I highly recommend getting the day pass. Coming back soon!

Very nice place with lots of fun old games. Only complaint is the pinball machines, theyre not included with admission and cost $1 per play which gets pricey quick.

All the games work and there is a huge variety. You can come and go whenever if you’ve pod for the day. The staff is super nice. Even though there’s no food this place is better than Dave and Busters

A great place to go to with friends for multiplayer arcade games or just by yourself to play some classics! The staff was amazing and so kind and sweet! And since it’s in the mall, it’s a great place to stop after shopping and just relax and have fun.

Friendly staff, great selection of games, and good price for all day play. You can leave and come back. Great experience every time I go here.

Ive gone here a few times for Smash Bros tournaments. Everything ran smoothly and there are a great assortment of games to play when youre done.

Fantastic idea. 10$ to get in play all video games as long as you want

We love coming here! Its a blast for all ages. So much Nostalgia packed in. Staff is super friendly and always personable.

Great prices for fun. Definitely returning. Helpful and friendly staff, a good selection of games, and laid out in a way that doesnt crowd people just trying to pass by (could also say helps with social distancing, too). Great addition to the mall.

The place is great! Tons of games. Good price.

I enjoy playing the games in the Arcade

Forever my favorite arcade.

Its a niche little place but has a lot of fun arcade games and a good feeling to it.

Its so amazing how many games they have here!

Boss Battle is just the best. Their collection of games is well curated, everything seems to work and the whole place is good and clean. Boss Battle is just what I want when Id like to play old video games. The pricing is right too. On this visit, I and my 15 year old son walked in and chose the all day option. I honestly thought we wouldnt make it an hour. We walked out 2 hours later having had a wonderfully fun afternoon!Look this is what it is, a small business trying to provide the best it can from machines that were built decades ago. BUT, if retro is what you want, you wont be disapointed in your time here!

In the age of digital where analog and physical versions are being replaced by smartphone apps and streaming, its nice to see an arcade fighting against that. Stay the course,folks!

It has F-Zero AX. 5 stars.

$10 to play and huge selection. Friendly place too.

If youre like me, youve likely lamented the death of the arcade scene. Whereas in my youth, there were arcades everywhere, now we seem to only get places dealing in ticket games.No longer. Boss Battle Games is an arcade in the classic arcade style, with a modern update. One price and you can play all day. They even have console systems set up for you to play. Theyve got quite a few of the classic arcade games, as well as a few machines with multiple games. And for those of you who love pinball, theyve got that too, though pinball is paid per game.If youre looking for an arcade with classic games, look no further.If that wasnt enough, they also sell used video games, both US and Japanese, for incredibly good prices.I honestly cannot reccomend Boss Battle Games enough.

Very fun! Pinball is not included in the general admission though, could you put that on the website? We went mainly for the pinball so we were kinda sad. but everything else was super fun!

Its the best arcade in 20 years

This place is stacked to the teeth with great games, ranging from old to new, guaranteeing almost anyone will find something they want to play.

What a perfect place to play games! They have an outstanding collection of the best arcade games from my childhood! And the price cant be beat. Insted of paying for each game you want to play, they have all the games set to Free Play and simply have a reasonable entry fee. I highly recommend Boss Battle Games!

Coming here sparks so much joy! worth it just for the arcade factor, but the atmosphere and staff push it to that wow!!!!!!!! amazing place, i’d go here every day if i could!!! :D

Worth every penny, classic games and modern ones, not overly expensive fun atmosphere

Great arcade with all the nostalgic fighting games and newer ones as well. A fantastic place for random competition all while making lasting friendships among fellow gamers.

Hey Googlers, if you happen to be in the Indianapolis area and youre a fan of 80s and 90s arcade games, there is a sweet Place full of all of your favorite games from back in the day. Check out our photographs and videos for a tour of this locally owned gem..... Its super reasonably priced, and check for a Groupon because they have them pretty often. 60 + games, all from the era of big consoles including Pac-Man, karate champ, Tron, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, f355 challenge rally,, Talega, wizard of war, and centipede. But best of all, they have every Mario version, and the original Defenders games.

Lots of fun, reminded me of when I was a kid and wed go to the arcade all the time 😀

Awesome place you wont be disappointed

Although Arcade games aren’t necessarily my shtick. Phylicia and Dustin are my kind of people. Genuinely good people that put their all into their hobby and work. They do what the love and I’m happy to see all of their success. These are the types of people we need influencing our geek/nerd/gaming communities.Check them out!

Boss Battle Games is AMAZING!! The perfect party venue for kids or adults!!

So much fun coming back with my son.

Boss Battle Games had a variety of arcade machines. My friends and I all found games we liked, was a blast playing with eachother. Recommend!

This place is awesome on so many levels!!!

Would recommend 100% cool people. Cool environment. Can’t beat the amount of game for the price.

So much cool stuff

THE BEST ARCADE IN INDIANAPOLIS!

Genius business model. My kids had a blast!!

Good price, great games. DDR machine pads worked well which can be a hard thing to find at an arcade. Very casual and everyone in our group had lots of fun. People working there were friendly and helpful. Be sure to check this place out.

No matter if youre searching to relive memories of your youth, or a young person experiencing arcades for the first time, BBG is a place you can go to dork out. Excellent selection, constant maintenance done on the machines, flat rate pricing, pinball optional. What is not to like?

Its like going back to your youth

Amazing selection of arcade games and friendly staff. $10 to play all day. DDR fans will be happy to find a supernova 2 machine in great condition too, and finding a working/good condition DDR cabinet in INDIANA is usually next to impossible. But boss battle games actually takes care of their games. You can tell the staff genuinely gives a sh*t about this place as they are very knowledgeable and on top of keeping the machines in working order, and even adding new games. Alot of arcades are usually tacked on to bowling alleys or laser tag places and the arcade machines get heavily abused, so finding an ACTUAL ARCADE that isnt in poor condition these days is rare. (Please keep the DDR machine, i will visit weekly if you do) I hope this arcade stays forever because frankly it’s probably the best standalone arcade in the entirety of Indiana.

This place is really fun. 10$ for a days worth. Super worth it.

Totally awesome!Arcade games and console games!Large variety and super cheap!Hell of a fun time for you and your buds!

Great place! Id definitely go there again.

Just heard about this place from a friend of mine, figured Id go check it out. Unless Im having a really bad day I will pretty much always enjoy relaxing and playing some video games. So I decided to stop in today. To be fair I wasnt having the best day today. Ill be honest, some pretty rough things were happening so thats the main reason I stopped in. Completely lacking expectations (my friend only made me aware of this places existence), at first I was a bit taken aback. Everything was really dark, I had to pretty much squint to see anything. For reference, I have pretty good night vision, so this was a bit shocking. Obviously I checked out as much of the arcade I could. Really good selection of games, I was surprised. Perhaps I could stop by here again. Everything seemed super clean and cohesive. Totally gonna stop here again. Everyone should know about this place.

Great atmosphere and quality gaming cabinets, fair price and great staff. easily one of the best arcades in Indy hands down. not a single cabinet i couldn’t remember from being a kid. would heavily recommended giving this place a visit if you’ve never been.

I liked the selection if games, the games seemed well kept up with. I cant see a down side to this place.

Ive been here a number of times and can genuinely say that Ive never had a bad experience. Ive never had a cabinet not work (except for some that have never been on, that is), the employees are always super nice and helpful, and the all day pass is simply a good deal. They have quite a few older arcade games, shooting games, a fair amount of fighting, as well as some racing games, two ddr-like games, and a large collection of pinball machines. If you like arcades, or if youre interested in going to one, I cannot recommend this place enough.

Lots of games, though many were not games that I was interested in playing. It was clean and well organized. You must pay to enter, so if your friends don’t want to play they need to stay outside. We were told that I we wanted to play the pinball machines we must pay for the all you can play and then we could pay to play them.

Cool place in the mall. 11 year old loved it, 6 year old - not so much. Lots of games I remember from when I was a little girl.I think there could be some more games geared toward smaller kids. My 6 year old felt like she couldnt really play too many things, while it was perfect for my 11 year old and I. I saw two other smaller kids (3 and 5 maybe) that werent really able to play many things.

Decided to stop by on my second time walking past it, ended up having some arcade machines Id never thought Id even see! I was really hype to see a Crazy Taxi machine and they had a few imported ones like a Japanese F-Zero machine with a moving seat which was cool. Jubeat and the Street Fighter 3rd Strike cabinets were definitely the highlight for me and I had a blast for a really great price! Definitely dont pass this up

Solid old school arcade with a bit of a modern twist

A lot of games with some very neat gems to buy as well to add to a collection. The cost for a day pass is incredibly affordable, and the staff are all really friendly. A new favorite place to go whether alone for an afternoon or with friends, and its nice to see a lot of style put into an arcade. Happy to see a business like this.

Lots of games. Fun atmosphere. Well worth the money.

We had a good time spent about 5 hours there. Played for a couple went to the food court and went back for a little while longer. Had a great time with all the games. The pin ball machine however do cost

Excellent arcade!! I like to go for classic games and DDR, and they always work perfectly. The owners are friendly and it’s just a great place to relax and have fun!

Really really nice well kept classic arcade. Something you never see anymore. They charge by the hour and the rates are a lot less than I would blow on tokens. These guys take great care of their stuff and they are well worth a visit.

Lots of arcade games that are one price for all. Pinball machines are 50¢ per game. Best Japanese driving game I have ever played. Most games are street fighter type. Great value!
