What is Alina of the Arena?

You play a gladiator fighting to survive before an arena crowd in a turn-based roguelike deckbuilder. Across randomized levels, you collect cards and choose equipment, then play cards to move, dodge, and push enemies around a hex grid. Equipment in your hands changes your cards.

For you if...

  • +you like planning turn-based fights around enemy positions
  • +you enjoy adapting card decks across randomized runs
  • +you want demanding battles where movement matters

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer real-time action to turn-based planning
  • −you dislike rebuilding a deck across repeated runs
  • −you want a relaxed difficulty rather than demanding fights

90% of 3,735 reviews are positive
