About
In Archolyte, you play as Manny, a servant of Ziegfried Van Agren, a powerful warlock who is tasked by Satan to conquer the realm. It's your job to build an army of slaves and conquer the world in Ziegfried's name.
The name "Archolyte" is a mix of arch + acolyte and is the highest rank of acolyte in the Van Agren Army. It's like the opposite of "archangel".
Gameplay
Archolyte is an action RPG with collect-em-all elements. Fight monsters, enslave them, then use them to fight other monsters on your path of terror.
Manny is a sorcerer, not a warrior. Your job is to support your autonomous slaves from afar with heals, support, and fiery destruction. Enemies will still come after Manny so you'll need quick reflexes to keep him safe.
Manny and his slaves level up and gain abilities. Slaves can also be customized with Rune Crystals that can change their stats or give them other bonus effects.
Conquering is not always about slaying your enemies. Some situations can be resolved through careful planning and manipulation. Manny can explore settlements in disguise to gather information and take them down from within.
