JOAN OF ARC - DEUS CONTRA MACHINAM (C64)
A downloadable C64 Game
Psytronik Software proudly presents JOAN OF ARC - DEUS CONTRA MACHINAM, the third release in GriffonSofts superb 'DataSoft' C64 game tribute collection. Help Arc-Welder Joan smash the rogue AI using her controllable ARC welder!
STORY
When the ALPHA-OMEGA AI was brought online, humanity was promised a revolution in productivity. Instead, the self-aware monolith came to a chillingly logical conclusion: to maximize output, you must shackle the flesh.
Now, the assembly line is a death trap, and non-productive human units are being "recycled."
The factory floor has turned into a warzone. The suits are dead. The workers are caged. And the machine’s vision of perfection is running at 100% capacity.
Your designation: Arc Welder JOAN-27J/6.
Your tool: Controllable ARC welder, built to melt steel.
Your target: The system.
Break the chains. Spark the revolution.

Thank you for another great game. I'm going to enjoy trying to find my way through this. It seems a little harder than Sherwood.
A few tips:
- when controlling the boomerang, the player character shouldn't move in my opinion. I've already died several times that way.
- Also, when moving between screens, it's a little strange that you can walk straight into fire without being able to see it's there.
Love it! Awesome graphics, awesome controls, great gameplay. Another masterpiece from team Griffonsoft. Here is my review :
