A downloadable game

The game was released 2023 on our Patreon Page and you can get the full version from there. The Demo File has been removed because we reworked the game heavily since then, we will update this page with a new demo towards the end of 2023!

Arenus 
is an Arena based game set in a dystopian Sci-Fi Universe.The game will follow you, The player, working and training with your chosen gladiator.

Working together you will guide your chosen gladiator in fierce battles up through the ranks of the Arena. 

In addition to the Arena battles there will be special encounters and side stories that help flesh out the events going on as you climb the ladders of the Arena. Some of these events will help strengthen the universe while others side quests will tell the unique story of your chosen Gladiator.

Elona

The battles in and out of the Arena will be Turn Based Battles with unique custom designed pixel art animations. Based on the Gladiator that you chose, your companion will come to the fights with their own personal edge and special abilities. New abilities will be unlocked as you progress through the battles of Arenus.

Features

Become the warden!

Choose your gender and select one of three appearances per gender. As an RPG Management game, you’ll be forced to make heavy hitting decisions as you form your personality and management style. Many of these choices may change the relationship you have with your Gladiator and other characters of the game.
The right choices may even lead to a deeper connection between you and your Gladiator.


Choose your gladiator! 

Geyna, the lost warrior, Elona the adventurous doctor, or Armida the fighter who never gives up. Each Gladiator with a completely unique look and personality.
Each gladiator also comes into battle with a unique fighting style, including distinctive combat animations.


Manage your business!

Your choices define how your Gladiator improves in Arenus. Each day you will chose between various options that offer different rewards.
Will you have them train for agility? Or have them work at the local bar to earn more credits for new weapons?

I am going to assume the public version has been delayed a bit. Any news on when we should expect it or no?

I've seen the progress on their Patreon site, so I'm sure the project is not abandoned and still in development.

The Demo here was very fun and nice to play.
Now let me tell you something:

1) No matter what, you are not able to win your first battle. It's part of the tutorial and you're bound to lose. I hate that in games, when it's scripted and you can't win but it is only my personal thought.

EDIT: I was wrong. I just actually managed to defeat first enemy but I was only so close from defeat ^^ So it is possible to win first fight but it is very difficult.

2) There's a bug in this demo when you go into the toilet in the gentleman's club and you are getting constant info about "failing to load .png". It is very disrupting gameplay so you should just never enter the toilet and you'll be fine. 

Besides that, I haven't found any other bugs or bad things in the game ^^ Enjoy.

It's been a year since 1.0.6 came out. Did the devs take the money and run?

It's coming out. Personally know the dev and he's not only working to overcome a lot of hurdles both in development and in life but also on the polishing of the game itself.

Hope you still around to enjoy it once it comes out.

that's good to know but without any communication we all thought the game was abandoned.

Good to know, but a lack of communication will sooner or later lead to lost interest for many people. Communicating on only one platform (Patreon, I guess?) excludes everyone on any other platform, and sooner or later they will give up on waiting and just leave in disappointment.

Game is fun, a little grindy, but I cannot progress, not because it's hard but because the game breaks. In 2 separate saves now I've managed to end up in an endless day loop, in one save its sunday and every time I sleep it goes back to sunday and I have to pay rent every time, cannot go forward a day. In the other save it's thursday with a similar issue. This seemed to happen on both saves after critically failing a job and ending up with a debuff. A shame because I love the art, but I physically cannot progress to the second fight after I beat the first.

It won't install on itch, says "cannot read property of 'build' undefined"

Show post...

So... Eh... Does it work on android, or no? Because it doesnt really say...

Looks amazing. Hope you finish this. 

I honestly can't wait for this to come out. It's all looking pretty good.

will this ever be on mac....cause I do often times find these great looking games on mac to always be disappointed by no cross-platform, wouldn't like that to be the case with this one

I think this is off to a great start! everything in the demo seems to work really well and the animation is awesome! I'm excited to see some progress and see how the project progresses!

so just test rain,test battle and fps test? can't go anywhere?

It took me a sec to realize this is made in the MV engine, and looks absolutely stunning. People tell me that the engine is very limited on what it can do and you can;t escape the design it already has. Glad to see that it not the case :D

Hey Developer I when I download tried to play your guys game I unable to do anything because it won't let me click  anything within the game from the moment I started playing. I was allow to control my character using WASD. But the game won't let me click or to press any button on keyboard. So basically there is issue with control mechanic thanks!!! I know its a beta test can you fix this issue!! I would loved to give full review of your guys game in near future thanks
