Archon is the ultimate battle between light and dark as yu fight in the action-packed Combat Arena to claim each square. Be a Dragon, Goblin, Unicorn Phoenix or various other characters... each with their own unique ability. No combat is the same, so no outcome is the same... you control the fight, so you control your destiny.

Archon is hailed as a perfect hybrid of strategy and fast-action combat. You take control of either the Light or Dark team, each with their unique line-up of creatures. Strategically move your pieces on the chess-like board to capture squares. If you move onto an enemy square however, real-time battle ensues in the Combat Arena! Dodge with your Dragon or weave with your Unicorn as the struggle of good vs evil rages piece by piece. The combat victor captures the square on the Strategy Board. You win a game by annihilating your opponent's team or claiming all 5 "Power Squares."
With over 16 unique characters, no game is ever the same. Find your perfect strategy to claim to coveted "Archon" rank.

How to play:

Using the Strategy board, move your pieces around to either capture the Power Squares or position them to annihilate your opponent's team. Your Wizard or Sorceress can cast spells, so protect them at all costs!

Pay special attention to the color of square you're on... because that gives you a health boost when you go to the Combat Arena!

Your Rank will show at the end, depending on how well you do.

Archon... no ordinary game of chess.

"This is the greatest game ever!

My friends and I played this on C64 until our hands and eyes were bleeding. If you liked the old version you will love this new and updated version. The only bad thing at all that I found it the virtual joystick is tough at first but once you get used to it the game is perfect."

"Wow I am impressed!!

I have a "older" person in my office who said he played this game as a kid, he reccomended I buy it. It is a totally cool game with easy to use controls, I am still learning how to use all of the spells and about some of the strategy, but what a blast to play. This one id for sure worth the money, I highly reccomend!!"
