Alina of the Arena Free Download (v1.1.4)

A roguelike deckbuilding tactics game that combines elements from ‘Slay the Spire’ and ‘Into the Breach’. Play as a gladiator to survive. With roguelike deckbuilding and hex-based tactics, no longer bound by simple attack and defense. Make use of dodges and knockbacks to stay alive! Personal hate: Tradeback events, tradeback items. I already complained about this thing in another review of mine for the Crown Trick game. But honestly I don’t understand why people think it’s fun to make every single thing in one game a trade back. “You lose 1 thing, you gain something”, it sounds fun. But what if the choice is so terrible that you absolutely won’t ever want to choose it?

What if the designer run out of brilliant idea while thinking up 20 different kinds of tradeback and they just fill in crazy filler options? What about gaining 1 AP but lose the ability to gain shield entirely? What about gaining 1 AP but the already costly positioning cards now cost more AP to use? You need action point to get by in this game, and the game do give you dozen of different poisons you could drink to get that sweet, sweet AP. But as you can see from the examples above, half of the options are crazy you just end up skipping it and losing an entire boss fight reward. Tradeback are not “bad”. They could be fun if you find them < 50% of the time in the game. But if the majority of the time when you get an item you sigh instead of smile, then it’s not fun at all.

And to make it worse, aside from the default movement (which must be used before anything else), the other positioners are always ridiculously costly, basically just to ensure if you moved 2 spaces then it’s an entire turn wasted. Tanking the boss is also not an option to me. I have yet to see anyway to build enough shield to withstand any single boss hit. It’s not “punishing”, it’s “certain death”.The design is lazy and cheap.

You can only move 1 space each turn, and the boss always do 2 spaces AoE. It’s the only single thing needed to make any boss hopeless. I’ve even seen a knight boss that always jump to 1 space away from you and do a 3-spaces wide, across the room long slash every turn. Each hit is as much as your entire health bar so if you buff full shield you can tank 2 turns.
