Alina of the Arena

Alina of the Arena

ABOUT

‘Alina of the Arena’ is a roguelite deckbuilding tactics game that combines elements from ‘Slay the Spire’ and ‘Into the Breach’.

Play as a gladiator that must fight for a bloodthirsty crowd to survive. With roguelite deckbuilding and hex-based tactics, players are no longer bound by simple attack and defense. Make use of dodges and knockbacks to stay alive!

#### FEATURES

  • Dynamic Deckbuilding

    Pick up dozens of cards, keep the ones you need, and craft a unique deck as you fight your way through randomized levels that present a different challenge each run!

  • Hex-based Tactics

    Unlike traditional deckbuilders that focus on attack and defense, the tactics element adds a dimension of positioning. Dupe your enemies into attacking each other, or use the terrain to gain an upper hand.

  • Dual Equipment System

    Carry equipment in both hands to enhance your cards! You can dual wield daggers for extra damage, go with a sword & shield combo for rounded performance, or wreak havoc with a two-handed weapon. Figure out the best combination for each fight!

Castle Constructor

This game is way too addictive weirdly enough, there’s already so many things in the game (as of posting this it isn’t fully released) you can almost never get bored, after loading it up for the first time I played 8 hours straight of the game!

great little game, with lots of potential, a little buggy when it comes to the enemy ai and spawning but otherwise amazing. Hexagons are just perfect for star fortress fun

  • Roguelike, hero-oriented campaign with deck management.

  • A mystical world inhabited by spirits with celtic and tribal vibes.

  • A randomly generated world map with tons of levels, bosses and events to be discovered.

  • Unique, highly tactical battles on a hexagonal grid, where position and rotation is everything.

WARTILE

WARTILE

Edit: I’ve won the game and it is pretty fun. The key factor to realize is that the archer is the most important character using the volley card. Once you get used to the game I really like the concept but it was challenging to mentally adjust to the different style of game (cool down vs turn based) coming from the turn based world. Using the slow down feature is essential until you get up to speed. On the higher levels it is absolutely critical to use the slow down feature to dodge tough opponents as them attack.

Tabletop quest for the Sagas

Wartile is a strategy game allowing the player to take command of a Norse warband on a quest to save their land from a mysterious plague. Developed by a very aptly named danish studio PlaywoodProject, the game plays as a miniature wargame. Each character in Wartile is represented by a wooden figurine, battling their way across adorably detailed dioramas. While the game had visibly limited resources to work with, the developers have fully committed what they had towards an idea of tabletop game brought to life. An idea, in my book, they firmly delivered upon.

This game is currently a bit rough around the edges, but with a bit of polishing could end up really great!

Right now though, it could use more tooltips to help people understand what’s going on and what effects what.
