An Arcade game mixed with strategy that is about good overcoming evil. I can see some people getting al little squeamish with some of the occult imagery in the game, but the premise is to defat evil with your joystick and your brain, so what could be better to show mom and dad in 1989 during the height of the Satanic panic? It combines the game of life, Archon, and Robotron to make a very unique arcade experience. plus it looks and sounds really good.
