Alina of the Arena PC Game 2022 review:
A game with deck-building tactics. Do not limit yourself to simple attacks and defenses by building decks and using tactics. Use the blows to survive!
(Build 12967738 Update added)
‘Alina of the Arena’ is a rogue-lite deckbuilding tactics game that combines elements from ‘Slay the Spire’ and ‘Into the Breach’.
Play as a gladiator that must fight for a bloodthirsty crowd to survive. With rogue-lite deckbuilding and hex-based tactics, players are no longer bound by simple attack and defense. Make use of dodges and knockbacks to stay alive! Pick up dozens of cards, keep the ones you need, and craft a unique deck as you fight your way through randomized levels that present a different challenge each run! Unlike traditional deck builders that focus on attack and defense, the tactics element adds a dimension of positioning. Dupe your enemies into attacking each other, or use the terrain to gain an upper hand. Carry equipment in both hands to enhance your cards! You can dual wield daggers for extra damage, go with a sword & shield combo for rounded performance, or wreak havoc with a two-handed weapon. Figure out the best combination for each fight!

Alina takes Slay the Spire’s purist deckbuilding and adds hex-based movement and color-coded equipment. This may not sound like that much, but remember how complex Slay the Spire was even in the early stages. Deckbuilding in any game with decent card variety already has a ton of depth to it; Alina’s deckbuilding isn’t as complex as Slay the Spire, but when you add on movement and equipment it becomes almost absurdly convoluted.
