Archon Classic

Archon Classic (2010)

by React Games
Genres:Strategy, Indie
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Inspired by chess, but adding combat that YOU control, Archon was the original Battle Chess. You must try to outmaneuver your opponent using teams of fantasy creatures or monsters in this epic struggle of Light and Dark. On the chess board, when you challenge a piece, you are teleported into a Combat Arena where you fight in REAL-TIME until only the victor emerges to claim the square on the chess board. Conquer your opponent by defeating all of their pieces on the chess board or claim all the Power Squares for a quick victory! You can play Free-For-All mode, where it's everyone for themselves, or play using teams and gang up on your opponents pieces in battle (2 vs. 1.)Show more

A nice reboot of the 1983 classic. It tried to do more upgrades to the formula than spiritual successor Archon Ultra. This one had campaigns, controller support, up to 4(!) players, secondary abilities... and yet the "classic" mode is quite faithful to the original. Worthy to be on GOG.

Drawful 2
Drawful 2The team behind the hit party games Fibbage, Quiplash, and YOU DON’T KNOW JACK presents Drawful 2, the game of terrible drawings and hilariously wrong answers! You use your phone or tablet to draw weird and funny things like “pitcher of nachos” or “death by trombone.” The other players type in what they think the (probably terrible) drawing is and those become the multiple-choice wrong answers. Then everyone - even an audience of potentially thousands – tries to guess the REAL answer. Drawful 2 is a go-to party game that everyone can play and enjoy!
