‘Archon’ Drops to $1.99 Ahead of Multiplayer Update

archon 1ReactGames announced that they have dropped the price of Archon to $1.99 (from $3.99) for the July 4th weekend, and have also announced the first free update to the game which is due in July:

The expansion will primarily include the eagerly anticipated multiplayer functionality, allowing you to match your skills against live opponents – with some additional optional features never seen before in Archon!

No details about the Multiplayer option has been revealed, though it seems Bluetooth Peer-to-Peer is the most likely iteration.

The initial release of the game had been well received with some mixed reactions to the virtual d-pad and some complaints about the low level of difficulty in the novice and average settings. Otherwise, however, it does a very good job preserving the spirit of the original game.
