Inspired
by chess, but with the added element of combat you control, Archon was the original Battle Chess. You must attempt to outsmart your opponent using teams of fantasy creatures or monsters in this massive battle between light and darkness. On the chessboard, when you challenge a piece, you are transported to a battlefield where you fight in real time until a winner emerges to claim a square on the chessboard. Defeat your opponent by defeating all their pieces on the chessboard or occupy all powerful squares to win quickly! You can play all vs. all, where it's all for themselves, or play using teams and allying against your opponents' pieces in battle (2 vs. 1).
Archon: Classic can be played with USB controllers (the best way) or with a mouse and keyboard. First developed in 1983, Archon quickly became a hit and an instant classic due to its unique balance of action and strategic gameplay. We've remade it to play just like the original, but with improvements for today's players. So grab some friends and enjoy the classic game that started the action/strategy genre.
