It was okay...
Graphics weren't so hot, but the style was pretty unique. Took forever to kill 1 guy in the arena at first, but then it got easier, but still boring.
Reviews for "The Arena"
well im to tired to paly but it looks good
nice job
Good game.
This is much better than before. The only problem I had was seeing the health and magic bar because the numbers were the same color as the background. Other than that, this was great.
Work on the graphics and this can be excellent.
I spent an hour playing it...
...so I must have liked it. :)
I did have a problem with the layout however. IT was fun building my kid up to near-omnipotence, but my hand is very tired from clicking.
Keyboard controls would have been nice, but ifthat's too much, might I suggest doing away with the "Acitons" button? There's nothing else to click on on the screen (The info button is a hover) All it does is open the menu. You could just have the menu already open in the corner, then I can click fight over and over without having to flick my wrist every few seconds. Some +5 buttons or 10 packs of skill points would have been handy too.
Other than that, it was fun and neat diversion. More enemies would have been nice, but the game is short enough. You can beat the game at level 8 if you put all your skill into healing.
Sequel, pls.
I enjoyed it.
It was a very good game overall and one of the best fighting-based RPGs I've played on Newgrounds. It kinda sucked at the beginning of the game because you had to spend 75% of your time running away from the higher level enemies before you could get to an enemy you could fight. Once you get good weapons and armor it becomes enjoyable. I didn't bother using any of the skills other than heal, which makes you basically unstoppable. The OMFG Knight was very funny the first time he attacked me. I hope to see a sequel.
