Dragons and Unicorns Meet... The Space Shooter?
Archmage is a classic vertical strolling space shooter--except that instead of controlling a spaceship, you control a dragon or unicorn, and instead of shooting at enemy ships, you're shooting at a variety of fantasy beasties--using spells instead of science fictional weapons.
Innovative? No--but the controls are smooth, the bosses are interesting, and its graphically appealing--cute, in a word.
The developer says:
ArchMage is an action game set in a fantasy world where you fight, as either a young mage with his mighty dragon or as a young witch with her mystical unicorn, and destroy hordes of evil monsters to rescue the Lake Shire. In 35 action levels, you will fight against giant Orcs, monstrous insects, huge Cyclops, gargoyles, dragons and a host of other diabolical beasts before eventually facing the Demon King himself.
Embark on an adventurous journey to rescue a small lake kingdom from evil. The Great Mages who protect the peaceful Lake Shire have grown weak and an evil Demon overlord and his hordes of monsters have emerged from the Underworld and invaded the Shire. They have destroyed and burnt everything in their path, but a young Mage and his sister Witch have summoned a mighty dragon and a mystical unicorn to take a stand against them.
