I've been wanting to play this game since I first saw it advertised waaaay back before it came out. I never did get around to buying it for some reason. I just played it for the first time and I have to say I'm absolutely unimpressed.

The board graphics are so-so. The in-game fighting graphics are lacking, and the "3D" perspective really makes it impossible to tell if you're going to hit something. The gameplay is far too slow and unresponsive to be anywhere close to as playable as the original Archon on the C64 and Amiga. And to top it all off, the music is annoying and very repetitive. Even the sound effects are terrible.

The only decent aspect of this game is the still artwork that they show of the characters just before a fight, which was mentioned in the review. I'm so sad right now... I was hoping this would be a fun game, but alas... my icon is imprisoned!

They could have done much better, and should have.
