Light Path Launches on iOS

• An adaptive gameplay system lets you shape both your story and its difficulty.
• Discover seven floating islands brimming with magical creatures and hidden realms.
• An optional quest tasks you with restoring a corrupted spellbook to unlock the Guardians.

After quietly building a community on PC, Light: Path of the Archmage is set to arrive on iOS later this year. From developer Sunshineshiny, this charming fantasy RPG blends old-school appeal with a remarkably flexible experience, offering everything from relaxed exploration to challenging adventures—all shaped by how you choose to play.

Your journey begins at Academy Island, a floating campus where your story unfolds. You can try the game for free when the mobile version launches, and from there, your experience is entirely your own. Prefer a safe, scenic stroll through its world? Keep things cosy. Crave chaos, powerful spells, and dramatic encounters? Raise the Hostility Index and dive into the action.

Light's world dynamically responds to four core systems: your starting character (which determines spells and attributes), the Hostility Index (controlling world difficulty), your selected gameplay mode (Cosy or Adventure), and your party composition (affecting relationships and battle tactics). This reactive design creates a far more immersive world than a fixed, linear path ever could.

For players who enjoy guided quests, a primary storyline awaits. The Magic Spellbook of the Archmage has been tainted, and only seven orbs can awaken the fairy dragon Guardians needed to purify it. But you're free to set that urgency aside and simply enjoy the atmosphere. Brew potions, expand your collection, do some fishing, or find and care for tiny magical familiars. The pace and the story are yours to control.

Beyond the seven main islands, you’ll find secret realms, lush forests, sun-bleached dunes, and eerie corners perfect for mystery seekers. And if you're looking for a challenge, a public arena offers light PvP to test your skills.
