Archon:Classic 1.0 for PC out today!

April 9,2010 2:24 pm

Well, we’ve held on as long as we could…so now we’re going for it!  We’re officially releasing our game out into the world.  We’ve had an incredibly good response from our PreSales community.  They’re really helped us put the finishing touches on the game to make it stable and fun!

This version features 4 player, Teams, Free-for-all, 4 AI settings, 3 different modes, Conquest (full version) and many more things…too long to list.  It feels like a big weight has been taken off our shoulders with the release of the game…we’ve spent every last effort and penny to make this game the best it could be.  We’re really proud of it!

We made the game conform and play just like the 1983 classic, thus the name, “Classic.”  You have 8 directions to fire, we used sprites and all the rules from that era.  With that said, we also added new things to the game, which would appeal to the modern gamer and bring the game up to speed.  The things we’ve added were meant to add depth to the already fantastic game, not change it or take away from the core of what makes the game fun.

I hope you enjoy the game as much as we do.  We’ll still support it with new updates and enhancements as they come along…it’s far from over, as we love this title and would like to see many more versions in this franchise.

The game is available for purchase on our site, also GamersGate, Impulse, Xgames and soon to be on Greenhouse and hopefully D2D and Steam (we’re still working on them.)

 

What about those who have already preordered?

Only a few people noticed this game.
I used to play the original version and I have a well followed blog.
If you want to send me a full version for review, you’re welcome to.

I don’t understand. This entry is titled v1.0 but http://www.reactgames.com/ lists the title as “pre-beta available now” So, which is it, final version or “pre-beta” Also, what about when 1.5 comes out in August 10 (as found on YouTube) Is there a discount for upgrades? You really do need a “sale” tab.
