/
DANGEN Entertainment and PINIX Games announced that the roguelike deckbuilding game Alina of the Arena is coming to PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Switch on November 23.
Alina of the Arena launches on consoles more than a year after it first launched on PC in early 2022, doing well on Steam as it still holds a ‘Very Positive’ review from users.
Here’s an overview of the game from DANGEN Entertainment.
"Alina of the Arena" draws gameplay inspiration from “Slay The Spire” and “Into The Breach,” blending roguelike elements of deckbuilding, hex-based tactics, equipment management, and power-ups into a thrilling strategic experience, all wrapped in a 2D gladiator aesthetic. Successive fights are confined to a battle-ridden arena and resemble a do-or-die, tough as nails position-based RPG battle every time.
The core of "Alina of the Arena" gameplay lies in its intense hex-based tactical gameplay, immersing players in the heat of battle that will challenge the best of players. Gather weapons tossed into the arena by the crowd, utilize spoils earned from battle to purchase new weapons and accessories, such as swords, bows, axes and amulets. You can further upgrade your equipment, or acquire powerful new cards. Players are encouraged to master the art of high-risk, high-reward strategy with a wide array of unique cards to land massive damage, avoid or absorb incoming attacks, even outmaneuver and deceive adversaries, pitting them against each other.
With successive runs, players are able to unlock new starting builds, permanent upgrades, unique equipment and more as they try to outlast their way up the arena. Each level string contains Battles, Elite Battles, Shops, Events and more, building up to a huge showdown with the area Champion, sure to rile up the raucous crowd and net massive loot. What fate awaits Alina at the end?
Alina of the Arena launches with a price of $14.99.
It’s easy to describe Animal Well as a puzzle-focused Metroidvania eschewing traditional combat, where nearly every room is a puzzle room, but that falls so far short of describing just what this game is and how expertly it defies genre and classification that it feels like a disservice. Animal Well is a paragon of the art form, a game that simply must be experienced.
