In a world where every clash echoes with the footsteps of legends, step into the arena and carve your name into the annals of history. Will you rise as a colossus of might, claiming fame and adoration? Or will you master the art of strategy, securing fortune with each calculated move? For in this arena, only the strongest prevail, and only the bravest dare to challenge fate. Harness your strength, sharpen your skills, and embrace the call of the arena. The glory of victory awaits those bold enough to seize it.

Welcome to the arena, where every battle is a testament to the indomitable spirit of humanity. Will you conquer, or will you fall? The choice is yours. Fight for fame, fight for fortune, fight for freedom. The arena awaits, and the world watches in anticipation.

Introducing the champions of the arena, each bearing unique skills and mastery over their chosen weapons:

Masters of defense and offense, these stalwart warriors wield their trusty shields as a bastion against all threats, while their razor-sharp swords cleave through enemies with precision and power.

Commanding immense strength and wielding towering blades, these formidable warriors strike fear into the hearts of their foes with each thunderous swing, cutting down adversaries with unmatched ferocity.

Agile and lethal, these warriors dance through the battlefield with grace, their spears piercing through enemy lines with deadly accuracy, while their shields deflect incoming attacks with practiced finesse.

From the shadows, they strike, their arrows finding their mark with deadly accuracy.

Honor-bound and disciplined, these noble warriors embody the way of the sword.

The Rogue is a master of stealth and subterfuge. In the arena, the Rogue uses a combination of agility, cunning, and precision to gain the upper hand.


Driven by eternal hunger and supernatural prowess, these nocturnal predators stalk the arena with a blend of mesmerizing charm and deadly power.

Harnessing forbidden magics and delving into the darkest depths of sorcery, these sinister spellcasters command the very forces of shadow and decay.

Masters of arcane knowledge and wielders of elemental power, these wise scholars shape reality itself with their incantations.

In this beta version, multiplayer features like player battles, direct duels, and tournaments aren't available yet. This release is for testing and bug fixing before the official launch. Although I haven't encountered any issues so far, I suggest you avoid playing with your favorite or unsaved characters—you don't want a bug to ruin a great run. It's rare, but not impossible.

If you do find a bug, think something isn't balanced right, or have a suggestion for a feature, please share it in the corresponding topics (BUG, Balancing, or Feature Request). I might not be able to address everything, but I'll do my best.
Please be as descriptive as possible; this is paramount to getting a better understanding of what is wrong.

Please note that controllers won't work automatically. To set up your controller, plug it in, click the controller icon on the game's right sidebar, choose the basic controller layout, then go to Community Layouts and find 'The Arena' version. You can see this in action in the video.

CONTROLLER SUPPORT: Check Community Controllers in steam to download controllers. UPDATE 1 CONTROLLER In depth look in the video I asked you to watch.

Just english for now, sorry.


Ok with game saves
no hardcore or what the achievement system is called.

Every mod that doesn't add animations or touch the male_head/female_head , male_body/female_body boy/girl .asset files.

I made a animation compatch for some but that's just about it. It doesn't tie in their systems.

Hey everyone,

I've got some not-so-great news about the next update. It's not going to have multiplayer, or at least not a multiplayer that actually works reliably. No matter what I try, I can't seem to get the vanilla multiplayer to load properly. It keeps throwing up some weird checksum error, and trust me, I've tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling to wiping my whole system clean of anything related to the game.

Honestly, I just don't have the time to keep banging my head against this problem. So, for now, let's just cross our fingers and hope that the PvP character interactions are smooth sailing. But hey, if they're not, don't say I didn't warn you—I've been scripting blind here.

Sorry for the letdown, folks. That's the update for now.

- Various balanced to Classes; honestly I cant remember all of them.
- Speed Boost against Archers
- Archers Nerfed
- Keyboard Control Changes; check in arena settings
- Game Controller Changes: Update your controller to Castox Arena Controller Update 1
- Game Controller users can press start to continue wave and skip post fight screen.
- Sword and Shield Class changed to 1 Handed Weapon and Shield. Arena/Game artifacts equipped will show.
