GAMEPLAY FIRST

MANIC ARCHERS is an atmospheric and extremely addictive local and online (Parsec etc.) multiplayer arcade game in pixelart-style.

It features simplistic and on-the-point gameplay with amazing game mechanics and lovely pixelart-details.

It is playable with up to 4 players simultaneously on one screen in several variants.

3 buttons is all you need to know - jump, shoot and dash/block. The depth of good gameplay is found in simplicity accompanied by great mechanics.

THINK ZELDA AND DEATHMATCH

With the intention to make a multiplayer match top-down game, MANIC ARCHERS owes to and actually should remind of the heritage of all top-down games like the Zelda and Final Fantasy series. Imagine the same love for details put into a competitive multiplayer arcade game for 4 players simultaneously.


APPROVED MULTIPLAYER FUN

In versus-mode players each control an archer, shooting the opposing archers until only one archer is left - besides Free-For-All versus, Manic Archers is featuring several other well known multiplayer modes.
During the game a lot of game changing powerups and special arrows appear on the playing field, enabling players to turn the game around in an instant.


RETRO BECAUSE WE DO NOT NEED 3D FOR THAT

The game takes place on a single screen with classic arcade wrap-around scrolling. The players make use of the top-down environment strategically such as water, higher grounds, obstacles and interactive map parts such as switches, explosives, burnable trees and more.
