Archons doesn’t have a go at hide its influences.
Also, each character is independently controlled by one gamepad stick, likeBrothers: A Tale Of Two Sons.
It sounds like a gimmick, and it is.
But it also feels nicely put together.
Best of all though, every single attack is synced up to the music.
Goddamn, I love it when things are synced up to the music.
It certainly requires a lot more active thought than the far simpler Vampire Survivors.
My first attempts to split my attention between both my archons at once were laughably blunderous.
It feels like a muscle I’d have to work out often before it becomes second nature.
That also means Archons will likely never recapture the same popularity as the granddaddy of this fledgling sub-genre.
It’s simply far easier to reach those dopamine highs in Vampire Survivors.
But it hits just right for me.
If you want to give Archons a go,check out its demo on Steam.
