Let's play ArchMage - Territory 1 - Forest of Wasps and Spiders
4Territory 1 - Forest of Wasps and Spiders
Story: Sharn, Ang, Lief and Mia arrive at the planet Paradisia where inhabitants of the universe are known to go on vacation from anything that bothers them. There, their first step on their family vacation takes a stop at a local run-down theme park. Afterwards, Lief and Mia were humiliated by having crabs leap down their clothes and then being dragged into a tropical dance with each other by some mean pranksters, which angers them both and causes them to start an intense fight and Ang joins the fight which gets more intense until Sharn calms things down. Ang deals with pranksters before rejoining with his family while Sharn, frustrated at the display of violence, takes Lief and Mia to discuss their bad behavior, Lief and Mia complain how this is one of the worst vacations ever and Sharn scolds Lief and Mia for their naughty behavior and how they will get grounded for causing trouble on their family vacation in which she set rules where mischief, arguing, violence, and fighting are strictly forbidden on their family vacation. But, before Sharn can get to ground Lief and Mia, she is suddenly snatched by a huge Wasp-like creature that appeared like a bolt out of blue, while Ang commented how Sharn forgot to mention that "big tourist-kidnapping wasps" are also forbidden on their family vacation too. Later, more wasp-like creatures starts appearing and causing tourists to flee terrified. Ang, Lief and Mia stay to fight them off, but get overwhelmed very quickly until a Pegasus-like being appears to help them out. Ang, Lief and Mia are eager to know who is the Pegasus-like being, but the creature tells them that meeting will have to wait and that they must take a flight at the Forest of Wasps and Spiders where Sharn is currently held captive. Wasps and Spiders know about how Ang, Lief and Mia are coming to rescue Sharn, and will definitely not allow them to save Sharn just like that without a fight.
Gameplay: By far, you have seen shooter games set either in science-fiction or in modern age from me. But this time, I will show you a shooter game set in fantasy world. Welcome to ArchMage, a completely whole new and different shooter game. Instead of piloting either spacecraft or aircraft, you will ride either a dragon with a Mage or a unicorn (or Pegasus to be more accurate) with a Witch, and instead of aliens or terrorists, there will be monsters for you to shoot down, and instead of using guns, you'll be using spells to blast your enemies. Power-Ups in this game for you to use are Double Shot, which will give you several more bullets to fire, Fast Shot that will increase the travelling speed of your bullets, Rapidity Shot that will allow you to shoot faster, Super Power that will make your bullets deal double damage, Side Fire that will let you shoot fireballs horizontally, Magic Armor that will reduce the damage you take, Life Potion that will restore your health, Monsters Death that will kill all enemies on the screen, and Soul that will shortly reduce the duration of the level. Except Life Potion, Monsters Death and Soul, all other Power-Ups have limited duration, and you can only have four of the Power-Ups with duration at a time. First enemies you will encounter are Wasps and Spiders (there are more in this part of the walkthrough, but I will tell you later about them). Yellow-black Wasps fly directly at you, trying to crash at you while golden-orange Wasps fly just straight-vertically forward toward your side of the screen, and shoot two bullets diagonally and away from each other. Spiders are less dangerous as none of the two variations of them dive at you, but just walk straight-vertically forward toward your side of the screen. Black-olive Spiders just walk straight-vertically forward, while Red-olive Spiders with red cross on their abdomens fire a single bullet that goes in the same direction as them.
