About This Game

Turn-based arena RPG. Play a skeleton gladiator in the Greek underworld: pick one action per round, shatter enemy armor, forge and enchant weapons, cheer up a crowd of ghosts. Beat 4 arenas and 4 bosses to face Hades, who swore the winner goes free.

Fight

Each round you and your foe pick one action. Step in, fall back, strike fast, strike hard, leap, throw a bone, taunt or rest. Every move costs stamina, and distance decides who hits.

Slings and bows shoot across the whole arena. Up close they miss.

Break

A critical hit can shatter a helmet, armor or shield for the rest of the fight. Hammers break armor, spears pierce it, flails reach over shields.

Your own gear breaks too.

Forge

Upgrade a weapon up to +3 at the Bonesmith. Every try can fail, and from +2 the blade can crack back.

Have Hecate enchant it with Ember, Plague or Styx Frost.

Cheer

Hits, dodges and taunts fill the crowd's cheer meter. Spend cheers on spells like Bone Armor and Soul Drain. Rest or miss and the crowd boos.

Hades, Persephone and Cerberus watch from the Emperor's Box and give their verdict at the end.

Recruit

Adopt a bone crow, plague rat, skeleton cat or bone hound. It walks with you through the bazaar and helps now and then in a fight.

Bargain

Between fights, walk the Bone Bazaar. Buy weapons, armor, spells and perks. Catch a soul thief, solve a ghost's riddle or grab a discount day.

Escape

Win all four arenas and Hades must let you go. Will he keep his word? After the finale, the Eternal Arena sends endless waves and shadow bosses.
