Our take on Archangel
The open-world framing may suggest a broad setting, but the stated scope is six cities. The listing also emphasizes changes to RPG Maker conventions without detailing how the revised battle system differs, leaving that distinction less clear than the feature list.
What is Archangel?
Archangel is a fantasy RPG set during an ongoing conflict between Angels and Demons, with Humans and Elves caught in the struggle.
Players follow Ainur, one of the remaining Angels, through a story focused on freedom and peace. The game includes six cities to explore in an open-world structure, seven classes with distinct abilities and properties, and a class-switching system. Combat and enemies were modified from standard RPG Maker conventions, while puzzles are placed throughout the story. Character progression includes leveling, weapon forging, ability unlocks, and an enemy book. Relationships with companions can increase their companion levels and provide additional abilities. The game also includes a handmade soundtrack.
