When a character from one side lands on a square occupied by a character from the opposing side, they both will enter a large arena and fight. The players on the light side represent "good" creatures (eg Phoenix, Djinni, "good and noble" Wizard) while the dark side is composed of evil beings (eg Dragon, Shapeshifter, Goblin, and of course the "evil and deceitful" Sorceress). Unlike chess, the characters found in the light and dark sides are completely separate from each other. Each character has a certain amount of squares to which it can transport, and some characters can fly over others instead of being forced to walk around them. A board with alternating black and white squares is set up in which each side (light and dark) takes turns moving a single character. The gameplay itself, like Archon, is similar to chess in many ways. In it, two-players battle each other in a game that resembles chess in visual appearance, but with many RPG-style features and requirement of reflexes thrown in. Archon Ultra is a significantly enhanced version of the original classic Archon by Electronic Arts.
