About
16-Bit Epic Archer is a free to play, fast-paced, chaotic, retro-style mobile game that combines both endless runner and shoot 'em up game mechanics in a medieval (slightly tongue in cheek) fantasy setting. Grab your bow and run endlessly while firing arrows and annihilating almost anything that's in your way.
