About LIGHT: Path of the Archmage

LIGHT: Path of the Archmage - about the game
Choose from five playable characters to launch your journey across floating islands in this casual indie RPG adventure. Shape gameplay through a Hostility Index that ramps up battle difficulty and shifts quests toward conflict when you defeat enemies or pick aggressive dialogue options. Switch between Cozy Mode for peaceful daily life with optional combat or Adventure Mode blending action, exploration, and team tactics. Recruit teammates for a full roster that lets you swap characters seamlessly, send injured ones home to recover, and gain combat edges-though high Hostility may spark interspecies tensions blocking some areas. Explore seven islands and hidden realms to brew potions, grow plants, fish, collect familiars, and compete in a public arena. An optional pre-written storyline tasks you with restoring a corrupted Magic Spellbook by gathering orbs to free fairy dragon Guardians, perfect for cozy explorers or tactical adventurers seeking flexible fantasy play.

Your Own Gameplay

Gameplay can be shaped by the player in the following ways:

  • Starting Character: 

    • Start as one of the 5 playable characters.

    • The player’s starting character determines your kick-off island.

    • The player’s story can expand to any other island, creating different combinations and various possibilities.

  • "Hostility Index":

    • A “Hostility” Index within the game determines gameplay experience and type of quests the players receive. Higher “Hostility” Index will make battles harder and quests more conflict-oriented.

    • “Hostility” Index can be increased by the player in the following ways:

      i) Defeating enemies, instead of escaping/retreating

      ii) Choices you make during NPC interactions (i.e., if you decide to reply more aggressively, sabotage quests, or turn them into creatures for your collection)

  • Game Modes: 

    • The game can be played in either “Cozy Mode” or “Adventure Mode”, offering different quests and gaming experiences.

    • “Cozy Mode“ involves optional combat, immersing the player in a peaceful, day-to-day lifestyle gameplay. Boss Battles are optional and can be replaced with a no-combat quest! There is a limit to how high the “Hostility” Index can get.

    • “Adventure Mode“ is the standard game experience filled with a combination action, exploration, and wholesomeness. If playing with the adventure game mode on, make sure to upgrade your weapon and beware of Monsters! Some may appear harmless, but they do indeed inflict damage. Never let your guard down during the adventure mode!

  • Team Composition: 

    • A “full team” in this game refers to recruiting all 5 characters. You can recruit and/or remove teammates. Should you recruit all 5 characters for a full team? Not so fast!

    • Full Team Pros: Continuous gameplay, no downtime! Switch seamlessly between characters during gaming. Send low-health characters back “home” for recovery and continue playing with a different character. Utilize a larger roster of characters to gain a tactical advantage in combat.

    • Full Team Cons: Some storylines won’t be uncovered! Not everything is sunshine and rainbows in this game! Despite camaraderie within team characters, underlying interspecies tensions may be prevalent. High interspecies tension (due to high "Hostility Index") may restrict access to certain areas with certain team/character combinations

Optional Pre-Written Storyline Included

Players can create their own storyline within the game, but there is also an optional pre-written storyline included, providing an easy "goal" for players if they want it:

A dark force has corrupted the Magic Spellbook of the late Archmage, putting the lands' magic secrets at risk. As a student of the Magic Academy, it's your duty to restore the Magic Spellbook by finding seven key orbs to unlock the "Guardians", small fairy dragons who can eliminate the corrupting dark matter. But alas, why the rush? Spend some time exploring the islands filled with cute creatures, build up your inventory with both useful and eye-catching items, and recruit some playable team members!

Other Fulfilling Features Within A Magical Fantasy Setting
  • Discover breathtaking landscapes, from lush forests to treacherous dunes, as you explore a vast and mysterious world among the floating islands. Seven floating islands await to be discovered, along with multiple hidden realms!

  • Brew potions and complete your collection, or grow some plants!

  • Collect small familiars and keep them in tiny shelters, or enjoy some fishing!

  • Compete your abilities against other players in a public arena!
