Archvale

Archvale is an action RPG and bullet hell game. It was developed by independent studio idoz & phops and published by Humble Games.

Plot

Archvale takes us to a fantastic world. When in the title land a despotic ruler began to reign hard, the lives of his subjects turned into hell. Years later, Archvale was forgotten in other lands and became a legend passed down from generation to generation. The only reminder that such a place exists are the undead, who are the king's subjects sentenced by him to eternal slavery. During the game we play as a hero who decides to free them.

Game mechanics

In Archvale the action is shown from a top-down view. Wandering through a variety of locations, including both colorful outdoor areas and dark underground, we learn the secrets of the game world, as well as more about Archvale and the portal leading there. Along the way we eliminate hordes of opponents. During dynamic clashes, the screen is flooded with bullets, which we have to dodge while making accurate attacks. We kill our enemies by using a variety of weapons.

As we progress we gain both better equipment and resources which allow us to create new equipment and improve the one we already have. In total, there are over 200 types of weapons and armor waiting to be gained. Moreover, we increase our combat potential by getting special badges, which in turn allow us to improve selected skills.

Game modes

We can play Archvale both solo and in local co-op mode.
