Archon Kingdom game? What is it?
Archon Kingdom game originally was a roleplay, created by Lis Archonovich, and where the original lore of Emmanuel Morph and Teo Medea was started.
The story represents a fantasy world with elves, gnomes and humans with different kinds of magic. The most powerful of them were those, who was able to use magic of light and dark. World was divided into three kingdoms. Isharral - the city of light, Rock - the city of darkness, and Archon, which was the last stronghold of humans. These three powerful kingdoms fought eternal battles among themselves, but there was one man who decided to end the wars. His name was Rufus... Long time ago he was a part of the army of Rock, but he didn't support the ideas of the King of the Dark and left the army.
One of his pupils, a guy named Carey, made the end of two of those kingdoms by his own hands: having destroyed the Rock, he gathered an army and also destroyed Isharral, thus ending the bloodshed that lasted more than one hundred years. After he disappeared, but the peace didn't came...

And so... 322 years from the battle of the Diar River gone.
New story began with two heroes. Balthazar, a nobleman who decided to join the army of the king, and Emmanuel, a young elf, traveling through the desert to the cities of people and soon joined the rebels. The story begins to evolve when the heroes learn about the revolution in Archon. Alanar Dracondor, the youngest son of the deceased king, is trying to overthrow his elder brother Kaylan from the throne. Thus, the characters are drawn into a family showdown of two princes.

The appearance of Karey in Rivain has not passed without consequences. Amelania joined Archon, and Karei himself preferred the life of a rebel. To decide who is superiority, Karey and Amelania met face to face in a battle. The battle of darkness and ice, the battle of two former lovers.
Then the most interesting news ran through the world: a new tournament begins in Collisium. Fighters from all over the continent began to join him. People, elves, gnomes, fawns... fighters of all races. Being a neutral city, Collisium forbid to use any magical powers outside the arena. Both the kingdom knights and the rebels came here. As a result, all our heroes gathered at the tournament. Battles and battles, someone won, someone lost, but the tournament could not be completed. Rufus arrived with a cavalry in the collision and by force took the prize of the tournament - the Reaper's Staff. The rebels tried to confront him, but they could not cope with him and they were defeated. Karey, having collected his last strength, managed to move everyone to the desert. Heroes were divided and began to look for ways to freedom. In the end, they managed to get out and the rebels, using their strength, went on the assault on Archon. Karey and Emmanuel moved immediately to the city and were able to get to the castle, where Amelania, who all this time was Alan's spy inside the castle, helped them. Emmanuel collided with Lin, the head of the knights and won. Karey at that time fought Rufus and killed him, but he was seriously injured and soon died himself. Alan regained the throne, expelling his brother from the kingdom. Emmanuel became an adviser to the king, Balthazar received the place of captain of the guard, and the rest of the characters continued their adventures.
Three months after the revolution, but the quiet life in Archon was disturbed by the appearance of unknown guests. After battle with those strangers, the battlefield turned black when the one who was least expected to see appeared. The corpse of Karey, ruled by unknown magic. Emmanuel managed to stop the attack and finish the torment of Karey. His last request was to drown his sword, the Herald of Darkness, in a river near Minestrelia. Emmanuel gathered the team and hit the road. Then she learned that the perpetrator of the attack was the organization of the Twilight Forest, which were famous for their love of mystical weapons. In the desert city, the characters meet a certain Liarellian, who is Teo's older brother. He agreed to lead the heroes through the desert to Minestrelia. While traveling through the forest, Kaj became possessed by the staff and killed Teo. Emmanuel manages to destroy the staff and free Kaj, and soon drown the Herald of Darkness.

Concept and in-game art
Short game walkthrough:
(all of them ends on the different steps, here're walkthrough for the latest)
Version Archon Kingdom 0-4:
Go to the up, fight the hornets, then go slightly down and right, keep fighting hornets until you will get a message about strange noises. Then politely talk with old man Ziggy and go to his wagon. Here you can open the chest - but keep in mind, that if you'll go away from it for the first time, you'll have no chanse to open it again. If you open the chest, you'll find a spirit, more powerfull than hornets. Ziggi will help you. Use the magic to conquer a monster more fast; in version 4 the better way to fight him - to use Emmanuel to heal yourself and Ziggi, and use Ziggi's magic (fire 12) against spirit.
Then use food to get a potion for recover your HP (press Esc to open a menu to use it), and go talk with Ziggy. Tell him your name and them go to the bed.
You'll trapped to a dungeon, where you'll had to fight bats (use magic to fight them, if you were blinded, or drops from your bag to cure the blindness) to reach Kaj Llingvam, who's sitting at the throne at the upper corner... [1.0 version ends here]
Take a short dialog with Kaj, and then woke up and leave the wagon.
So, you came into small desert town. In the upper part of screen you can found some stores with weapons, clothes and accessories. If you can go down to the screen, first building will be a store, where you can buy some potions. If you go down again, you can reach building of prison, where you can fight rats. In the right down corner you can find a chirch (hint: if you ineract with piano here, music will change), where the priest can tell you about the town.
But! You need to go to the huge building at the middle of location. Here the quest beguns. Talk with strange man, and then go down and right to the major's house. Then ask him about the key. He will ask you about a service for it, you should agree and then leave the house, go right and up to find a girl with blue hair. She won't even talk with you, so, go up and enter store with magic powders. Then talk with old man and ask him about love powder. Aaand he will say that it costs 1000 coins, so you'll need to go to the prison and fight the slimes, rats and spiders to reach this amount of coins. Also you can notice small white start - it's keys. Collect them to reach the chest, in which cool weapon lies.
Then with 1000 coins return to the powders store and ask about love powder again. You'll get it, but don't give it to that girl! You need to give it to the mayor. Then he'll give you th key. And you'll go to that building again. When you'll find the Ziggy, game will ask you about save.
Then you'll read short dialog between Ziggy and Mara, and will help Ziggy to fight spiriths and Mara herself. (hint: not let HP level fall lower than 500, or Mara will kill you after her awakening.)

Version History of 3 Kingdoms:
Version 4.0.1 starts with short how-to-play guide. Go to the crystal to save the gameplay.
Then go up through the door, and then go left. Here you will be noticed by the guard and will take a small battle. Also game will notify you, that you can avoid battles, if you won't met enemies face-to-face. Then go though coridor (trying to avoid unnesessary battles with guards), and check the chest at the coridor's end. You'll obtain the key from the next door.
Then come back to the start coridor and unlock the next key. In the next room a witch Liarellia will wait for you. Take a battle with her, but don't be afraid, if you won't win it for the first time: game will show you a hint, after which you can press "Esc" and choose "вещи">"важные вещи">"кольцо переключения". If will give you ability to use magic of light and defeat the witch. Then go up to the next room, where a boss, Genral, will wait for you. [Version 3.0.0 starts here] You won't win this battle.
After losing a battle you will see a cutscene about main hero's childhood, at the end of which you'll need to give him a name (his name is Karey, but you can write any other). Then the screen will blacken and you will get a next scene, 12 years after. You will get a task - to go to the shop and buy a special ointment for MH grandfather, Ziggy. For doing this task go left through the bridge, then go according to the road (go down) and go right to the house with blue roof. Enter the house and go to the woman, who will ask you "How's your granddad?". You can answer that he's fine or not fine (if you'll choose second variant, you'll save 10 coins). She'll give you the ointment anyway, and you'll need to go back to the Ziggy's house. In different versions of game you can meet a fox (if woman will give you a fish) or a girl, who will ask you to play a game with her (through which you will lose all your saved money). So, just go to the Ziggy and give an ointment to him. Then leave the house and get noticed by guardsman. Run from him (hint: run near the house and try to hide from him behind it - if you'll run too far from house, guardsmen will be multiple. Also start to run before the guardsman reach you, or you'll be caught immediately). Then screen will blacken and you'll saved by Rufus. He will talk with Ziggy and you, and you'll need to go with him. Leave the village (road to the shop, but you don't need to go right), and at the exit you will be stopped by Zack and 3 guardsmen. Rufus will fight them (use darkness and "рассекающий тьму" spell against guardsmen and darkness "каскад тьмы" against Zack).
Finally leave the village and go right and down, then Rufus will say "Привал" and you'll stay in a forest for a while, having a cutscene (at start in the forest, and then in a Genral's castle).
Then you'll return to the forest, go right and up to the camp.
Save the game on the crystal and then go left and up to the stairs, then up again and enter the first tent. Go to the empty bed and take a nap.
Then you'll be awakened by Arlight. Talk with him, then leave the tent and have a cutscene, in which Arlight will show you all the camp.
Then you will get a new task. At the next morning you'll need to go to the Rufus'es tent and have a training fight with Arlight. You'll need to listen his hints, or you won't be able to finish this part. (In the first fight he won't attack you, in the second you'll need to use darkness>"черный дым" at the third round, in the third you'll need to use darkness>"теневой удар" at the third and sixth rounds. At the fourth fight you'll also need to use "спецнавык">"захват" when Arlight use light power. Also don't forget to equip the sword through "Esc" menu!). Then you'll obtain a strange bottle and will need to drink it.
Then you'll be trapped in the place between the worlds and became a blue light. You'll need to light up 4 lanterns and then find a way to reach the gate. (If it will seem difficult, use the map which you can find in one of the slideshows on this page). Then go to the Mara's secret place and talk with her. After the talk you will wake up. Go to the exit of tent and talk with Ogren, after what leave the tent and go to the forge and buy a sword (don't forget to equip it!). Then talk with Ogren again...
Next scene will show you grown up Karey, and your next task will be to go to the slime's cave and save the merchant. Also you can increase your level here, fighting with slimes. So, enter the cave, talk with merchant and go find 4 "vision stones", which can be found in the chests. Hint: first of all go to the icy place and get a sword - it will help you a lot, making slimes even more weaker than they are. Also in the merchan's cart you can buy antidots and health potions, as well as some equipment (hint: only clothes can be useful to buy here). Don't forget that cave has a second floor, stair to which you can find at the top of location. Also you can collect "руда жизни" (look like gray stones, whill be shown at the enter of cave) here, it will help you to increase weapon's power in future. After collecting all stones return to the merchant and turn on all the knife switches. Then go out of the cave and return to the camp.
You can find the camp not in the best state. Go to the Rufus'es tent and talk with him. Then go out of the camp and return to the granddad Ziggy's village. Find him and Orgen in Ziggy's house and try to talk with them. (Don't forget to save the game at the village). Then go to the door and hear the guardsmen voices. Return to Ziggy and go to the stairs to the undergroud, sit on the spider and run! After finishing "spider race" you will turn out in a dark cave. Talk with Orgen and go out of it.
Then you'll awake at the camp again. Go to the Rufus and talk with all in his tent. Then go out of there. Go down and right, and enter the common tent. Find Dadda and talk with him. Agree to deliver a letter to the city. Go out of the tent, leave the camp and go down and left, until you reach the city. Enter the city, go right to the house with red roof, talk with old man and give him a letter.
Then go out of the city. [Version 4.0.1 ends here.]
