Archon Ultra

Archon Ultra is an action-strategy video game developed by Free Fall Associates and released by Strategic Simulations, Inc. in 1994 for the PC DOS. It is a remake of the 1983 game Archon: The Light and the Dark.

Gameplay

Being an expanded remake of the original game, it not only had updated graphics and sound, but it also had additional features: most notably the units had secondary weapons and the battle sequences were shown from an isometric point of view, enabling the game to simulate a third dimension in the battles, which made it more difficult to aim. It also featured a multiplayer mode via modem.

Reception

Archon Ultra was reviewed in 1994 in Dragon, receiving only 1 out of 5 stars.[1] Other review scores were usually much higher.
