Archmage RPG "Light" Hits iOS This Year

- Dynamic gameplay lets you craft your personal adventure and adjust challenge levels - Discover seven mystical floating islands teeming with enchanted creatures and secret worlds - Optional main quest involves purifying a tainted spellbook to awaken ancient Guardians

After gaining steady popularity on PC, Light: Path of the Archmage is preparing for its iOS debut later this year. Created by Sunshineshiny, this charming fantasy RPG blends nostalgic appeal with remarkable flexibility, offering both relaxed exploration and high-stakes action—your choice determines the experience.

Your journey begins at Academy Island, an airborne campus where your tale unfolds. A free demo will be available at mobile launch, after which you control the narrative. Prefer soothing scenery and low-pressure gameplay? Keep it cozy. Crave intense spell battles and unpredictable encounters? Ramp up the Hostility Index and dive into the chaos.

Light's world dynamically adapts through four key systems: your starting character (affecting spells and stats), the Hostility Index (adjusting world difficulty), your selected playstyle (Cosy or Adventure), and party composition (shaping alliances and combat strategies). This reactive approach creates deeper immersion than rigid, linear progression.

For players who enjoy structured goals, a central quest awaits: The Archmage’s Magic Spellbook lies corrupted, requiring seven orbs to awaken fairy dragon Guardians capable of purging its darkness. But you're equally welcome to disregard destiny—mix potions, expand your inventory, go fishing, or rescue magical critters instead. The rhythm is yours to set.

Behind the seven floating islands lurk hidden dimensions: vibrant woodlands, scorching deserts, and shadowy recesses for mystery seekers. Competitive players can also test their skills in optional PvP arenas.
