Arvostelut

“@manicarchers is one of the best party games I've played in awhile! The powerups are unique, the artstyle is our nostalgia, and the gameplay is just hilarious/random. This is a great party game, and love it's Steam Co-Op compatible. @IGCollective #indiegames #pixelart”

“Manic Archers is an absolutely frenetic multiplayer twinstick brawler. Good range of maps and play modes for replayability. It looks and sounds great and is super intense if a little too fast for me (editor: reviewed during Early Access, before speed selection). Manic Archers is an awesome brawler! It gives me Street Fighter cross Little Fighter vibes and everything about it is exciting. [...]”

ULTIMATE LOCAL MULTIPLAYER RETROGAMING ARCADE

Manic Archers is a game that I personally would have liked to play back then, but it was not possible in the 16bit era because of technical limitations. A game that overflows with gems inspired by the arcade 2D high-times - 1000s of sprites and interlocking effects cumulating into a sensory overload of 16bit hype - while keeping that absolute, direct and perfectly controllable arcade grip. It took 2 years to perfect this passion project as a solo-developer.

Note: Manic Archers was in Early Access from March 2021 till its official release on March 20th, 2023 - it was just classified wrong and Steam did not allow to change back to Early Access status.

GAMEPLAY FIRST

MANIC ARCHERS is an atmospheric and extremely addictive local and online multiplayer arcade game in pixelart-style.
It features simplistic and on-the-point gameplay with amazing game mechanics and lovely pixelart-details.
It is playable with up to 4 players simultaneously on one single screen in several well known multiplayer variants.

THE MOST SIMPLE GAME OF ALL TIME

One screen and 3 buttons is all you need to know - jump, shoot and dash/block. The depth of good gameplay is found in simplicity accompanied by great mechanics.

THINK ZELDA AND DEATHMATCH

With the intention to make a multiplayer match top-down game, MANIC ARCHERS owes to and actually should remind of the heritage of all top-down games like the Zelda and Final Fantasy series. Imagine the same love for details put into a competitive multiplayer arcade game for 4 players simultaneously.

APPROVED MULTIPLAYER FUN

In versus-mode players each control an archer, shooting the opposing archers until only one archer is left - besides Free-For-All versus, Manic Archers is featuring several other well known multiplayer modes.
During the game a lot of combinable and game changing powerups and special arrows appear on the playing field, enabling players to turn the game around in an instant.

AI TO KEEP YOU GAMING

In case you need one more player to start a 2on2 teamplay match or if you are alone and want to train, Manic Archers got AI opponents to fill up the slots.

RETRO CAUSE WE DO NOT NEED 3D FOR THAT

The game takes place on a single screen with classic arcade wrap-around scrolling. The players make use of the top-down environment strategically such as water, higher grounds, obstacles and interactive map parts such as switches, explosives, burnable trees and more.

Key Features

Up to 4 players local and online

Play arcade style locally AND online with up to 4 Players (via Remote Play Together).

Versus

Simple Free-For-All match, fast paced, deep gameplay mechanics (also available for Teamplay).

King of the hill

Keep control of the center of the map to gain points and secure the round (also available for Teamplay).

Catch the fool with the chicken

All players match against the one who got the chicken - the one who keeps the chicken longest wins the round.

Conquer

Dominate parts of the map to gain points, the one who dominated most flags the longest wins.

Survival Coop

How long can you and your friends survive against hordes of enemies? Manic Archers features a small coop-campaign that is also playable alone. Though DO NOT buy Manic Archers just for the coop-campaign - Manic Archers is primarily meant as a versus game.

Deep gameplay mechanics

The gameplay is set up for competitive and fun matches through deep but easy to learn game mechanics.

AI Opponents

Fill up the remaining slots with AI opponents with adjustable skill or create matches alone to train.

Interactive and individual maps

Interactive maps allow strategic advances which are easy to understand and use. The interactive elements available vary in each map

SPECIAL MOVES

Though you will probably find out these yourself, as they're pretty simple...

  • SUPER DASH - Dash while on the way down of a jump, shortly before you hit the ground
  • STOMP JUMP - Hit the JUMP button again while in mid air
  • SHIELD - Hold down the dash button to shield yourself against attacks from the direction you are facing

Known Bugs and limitations

  • The game occasionally crashes when using X-Box Controllers. This seems to be an issue with X-Control type controllers and the Unity engine in general and has nothing to do with the game itself.
