The player takes the role of Michael Travinsky, believed to be "the chosen one", who is sent on a holy mission. Armed with a magic sword, he must travel to three different worlds to stop the forces of evil. If he fails his mission, mankind is doomed forever.

Gameplay

Archangel is controlled from a third-person perspective with the option to switch to first-person. The game features experience points, known as "essence points", which are earned by completing quests and killing enemies. They can be used to activate skills during gameplay or to purchase and upgrade skills instead. The player's main weapon, the Sword of Light, can be used as long as the bar for spirit energy remains filled. Attacking with the sword drains the bar, which slowly regenerates outside of combat and skills can speed up the process.[2]

Development

The game was in development since November 2000 with about 15 people working on it.[3]

Reception

Archangel received mixed reviews from critics. On Metacritic, the game holds a score of 49/100 based on 6 reviews.[4]
