“Sierra

said.
“Arkadian

and an
imaginative
setting to
fast-paced
gameplay.
The result
is a game
experience
unlike
anything
else on Xbox

players
begin by
choosing
from three
mighty
warriors – a
Soldier, an
Archer and a
Sorceress –
to journey
to the
ultimate
confrontation
with the
evil Gorgon.
All three
warriors
have a
unique
special
ability
allowing
them to
transform
into a giant
alter ego
for a short
time – a
Lion, a
Dragon or a
Phoenix –
with
increased
power to
crush all
enemies in
the area.
Each created
character is
persistent
and can
learn new
abilities as
experience
points are
gained,
allowing
players to
build up
their
characters
to a maximum
level of 20.
Players can
also upgrade
their
characters
by
purchasing
more than
200
available
items
including
weapons,
armor and
potions in
one of the
village
shops with
gold
gathered in
quests or by
collecting
items along
their
journeys.
Arkadian
Warriors is
uniquely
expansive
and features
a diverse
dungeon
generator,
allowing
players to
take on
enemies in
different
locations
each time
they embark
on a new
quest.

Warriors
