IGN - 7.5/10
"...if you played Archon during the Reagan Era, you will be pleasantly surprised...I am relieved to see such fidelity to the original game...Playing classic Archon versus a friend remains one of the greatest videogame experiences Ive ever had."

TOUCH ARCADE REVIEW
"Archon is a game that really stands the test of time...and the spirit is most definitely preserved."

ALL ABOUT THE GAMES (4 out of 5 stars)
"Archon suits the iPhone / iPod touch so well that youd think it was made for it...what theyve done in Archon works superbly and captures the original...All in all, another game has successfully been brought back from near obscurity to reign supreme on the iPhone / iPod Touch. React Games have done an excellent job."

iPHONEAPPREVIEWS (4 out of 5 stars)
"...new players who have never heard of Archon should pick this up immediately as it’s as superb a game today as it was in 1983."
-------------------------

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 opponents 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 opponents team. Your Wizard or Sorceress can cast spells, so protect them at all costs!

Pay special attention to the color of square youre 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.
