This new version of Archon game is fun to play. Much of what makes or, if you will, keeps! These units, in between the different factions of the game, offer you a very satisfying experience. In terms of theme Dark Legions is a retro fantasy medieval tinged game, and it sure feels good to play it. Also, the build of the game is nicely balanced as a result of the fact that originally it was a board game, and the rules of that game are still, to a point kept.
In addition the Wizard or Sorceress on each side can summon at random one of four elemental units, making in total 20 unique units. While each piece on the black side has a similar piece in the white side, no two pieces are exactly the same. The Wizard or Sorceress on each team is arguably the most influential piece on the board. Powerful in combat, their real strength lies on the board.
Each of them can be called on to cast from a selection of seven spells. Each spell can only be cast once and can have a variety of effects from causing the squares that are shifting colors to reverse the order of their shifting shift time to bringing back a defeated piece at full health revive. Little differences exist between each of the version, but generally the game remains true throughout. However, since it's simultaneously complex to learn and hard to look at, you may want to just run the game in demo mode a few times so that if you don't get into it, you can still get a sense of the glory of Archon.
The game gets full marks for originality and influence. However its high learning curve with the poor sound and graphics of the IBM version force a significant drop in its score.
If I were reviewing the C64 or Atari versions I could give it a 4. However I have to give this version of Archon a 3 overall. Please give whatever you can to help us. Recent Reviews:.

The twist is that for each spell cast their home square deals a 1 point heath disadvantage in battle to any member of their team who's on it, including themselves. This odd rule means that later in the game if you want your Wizard or Sorceress to be safe, it's best to get them off their home square.
