All reviews →Instatnt classic! Great strategy and action game rolled into one!
This is a remake of a classic game most people played on The Commodore 64. React Games took a classic game and did a wonderful job remaking it! The game was remade with attention to detail! The developer kept all of what made the original game great while at the same time wisely chossing which areas to update for modern gaming. This game is a real treat for fans of the classic and a great experience for those who never played! Thank you React Games for bringing Archon to my iphone!
Updated Retro Fun!
It takes me back to my youth. Well done, fun update to a classic.
Good additions.
Wow! New game mode of Conquest rocks! It totally wets my craving for a singleplayer campaign. Great app. I love Archon. Great job. Suggest this the chess fans.
Best game for Iphone
This is by far the best game for hte Iphone! Its amazing!
Appreciate this, the greatest of the "forgotten" games!!!
Im so proud to be from a generation that hears the name "Archon" and thinks fondly back to the days when Electronic Arts elegantly packaged this work of genius. What a concept! Does it get any geekier than this? Highly unlikely. Theres more goodness in the free version of this classic than a majority of the full versions you find in the App Store. But please do yourselves and the developers a favor and buy this game now. Dont put it off anymore. Even without the new update today, Archon would be cheap at ten times the price. You read that correctly. Think about it! Its like chess where your pieces have powers and abilities. Not only that, but the action combat sequences really make you earn that square. It just begs the question--could Archon II: Adept be far behind? I hope not. Id also like to see a new version of this gem come to the PC and Mac! Please say itll happen and I can die happy. One more thing--is there any way the old Commodore 64 version could be included as an unlockable feature? That would be a reason to buy an iPhone in and of itself. Thank you so much for bringing back one of my all-time favorite games. It shows class and sophistication like no other developer. Bless you.
Dissapointing
Slow responsive shooting system hurts this game.
Great game!
Ive had this game for a few days now, and I am really loving it. I actually stopped playing a game on my XBox 360 at one point to come back to this! I played the original Archon back in the day (and Archon 2 -- any plans to bring that one back?), so I bought this game partly out of nostalgia. The gameplay definitely holds up on the iPhone, though. Im really enjoying the new Ascension map with its leveling system, too. It adds a new layer of play that seems like a natural outgrowth from the original. Im less impressed with the Invictis map, though. The powerups make it too luck-based for my taste. And while Im complaining, it seems to me that the golem on the Light side moves way too slowly to be useful on the Invictis map for some reason (I couldnt tell if all the creatures had been slowed to make room for speed powerups or if this was some sort of framerate issue). This might be okay if he had a huge amount of health, but I actually got pushed into a corner and killed by a banshee in just two shots. I dont think the golem should be able to be pushed around by anybody, much less a banshee (as this makes her a bit overpowered). Also, I remember the summoning power giving more options in the original game. Could you guys bring back the Juggernaut? Please? Overall, excellent work!
