Light: Path of the Archmage brings wizardly whimsy to iOS later this year

by

  • Adaptive gameplay system lets you shape your story and difficulty
  • Explore seven floating islands filled with magical creatures and hidden realms
  • Optional storyline tasks you with restoring a corrupted spellbook and unlocking the Guardians

Following a quiet but steady growth in popularity on PC platforms, Light: Path of the Archmage is set to expand its fanbase by arriving on iOS devices later this year. Created by Sunshineshiny, this enchanting role-playing game skillfully blends nostalgic appeal with a versatile gaming experience. It caters to both leisurely explorers and hardcore adventurers, offering either a relaxing journey or a challenging quest, all based on the choices you make during gameplay.

The core of this adventure lies on Academy Island, a floating educational facility marking your starting point. Upon the game’s mobile release, you’ll have an opportunity to test it out without charge. From there, the course of your experience is entirely in your hands. If you prefer a calm and scenic exploration, you can relax comfortably. However, if you crave excitement, magic duels, and intense interactions, raise the Hostility Index and brace yourself for the ensuing action!

In this game, the world’s dynamics revolve around four key aspects that can be customized to create a unique player experience:

1. Your initial character determines your spells and attributes.
2. The Hostility Index sets the level of challenge in the game world.
3. You can choose between different game modes, such as a more relaxed ‘Cosy’ mode or a challenging ‘Adventure’.
4. The composition of your team affects relationships among species and battle strategies.

By allowing these customizations, the world becomes interactive and much more engaging, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

If you prefer a more structured approach, you can embark on a pre-written adventure. Unfortunately, the Magic Spellbook of the Archmage has fallen into corruption. To restore balance, you’ll need to find seven key orbs that will summon the Guardian fairy dragons, capable of banishing the darkness. However, feel free to take your time and enjoy the journey as you wish. You can brew potions, accumulate items, try your hand at fishing, or seek out and protect small magical creatures – your familiars. The choice is yours, and so is the pace and the narrative of your adventure.

Beyond the seven drifted isles, hidden worlds of verdant woodlands, golden sandy expanses, and a few enigmatic nooks beckon the curious seeker. For those daring enough to prove their worth, there’s an open combat zone for friendly player-versus-player action.

As an excited enthusiast, I can’t wait to weave my own magical tales! Click the link below to reserve a spot for Light: Path of the Archmage. For additional details, check out the Steam page.
