Inspired by chess, but adding combat that you control, Archon was the original
Battle Chess. You must try to outmaneuver your opponent using teams of fantasy
creatures or monsters in this epic struggle of Light and Dark . On the chess board,
when you challenge a piece, you are teleported into a Combat Arena where you
fight in real- time until only the victor emerges to claim the square on the chess
board. Conquer your opponent by defeating all of their pieces on the chess board
or claim all the Power Squares for a quick victory! You can play Free-For- All
mode, where it’s everyone for themselves, or play using teams and gang upon
your opponents pieces in battle (2 vs. 1.) Archon:Classic can be played using USB controllers (the best way) or with keyboard and mouse. First developed in 1983, Archon quickly became a hit and instant classic because of it’s unique combination of action and strategic gameplay. React Games recreated it to play just like the original, but added enhancements for today’s gamer. So grab some friends and experience the classic game that started the Action/Strategy genre.
