Artix Entertainment, LLC is an independent video game developer and publisher founded by Adam Bohn (better known to players by his pseudonym, Artix Krieger) in October 2002. It is best known for creating browser-based role-playing video games—including AdventureQuest, DragonFable, MechQuest, and AdventureQuest Worlds—using Adobe Flash. The company released its first title for iOS and Android devices in March 2011, and is currently developing its first 3D game, AdventureQuest 3D, using the Unity game engine.

AdventureQuest is Artix Entertainment's first project released in October 2002. It was meant to be called "Land Of Rising Evil" (Lore). It is also referred to as AdventureQuest Classic and The Original AdventureQuest. The game is also called Battleon due to its domain name. The game is set in the fictional world of "Lore", a tongue-in-cheek reference to the original game name, Lands of Rising Evil. While it is free to play, players may upgrade their characters to become AdventureQuest Guardians in order to receive exclusive in-game benefits.

Artix Entertainment's expansion to AdventureQuest, WarpForce, was released on July 17, 2009. It is a sequel to AdventureQuest, specifically relating to the recently completed five-year Devourer story arc in AdventureQuest, and there has been many crossovers between the two. It was built with the same game engine as AdventureQuest and, like AdventureQuest and Artix Entertainment's other single-player RPGs, is free to play with an optional one-time fee.
