Об игре

PocketSquire Arena is a whimsical storybook roguelite about a young squire — boy or girl, your call — who must prove their worth by challenging The Five Knights of the Realm. To do so, they must battle through waves of monsters in the arena. Do you have what it takes to claim the title of True Squire? And — when easier paths present themselves — will you have the discipline to earn it the right way?

The world

A small medieval town in the countryside where humans and animals live side by side — a grandmotherly sheep at home who frets about scarves and sunscreen, a perky bird shopkeeper who somehow knows everyone's business, a gruff lion at the forge, a cerebral archery instructor cataloging every monster in the arena, and an eccentric owl wizard up in his tower. Between the town and the castle an intrepid Squire might find various arenas in which to test their mettle. These arenas are where each Knight of the Realm has set up shop.

The Arena

The Arena is brutal. But she is fair. If you're lucky, you can collect power-ups which help you during your arena run. These appear in the form of cards that offer passive bonuses. Some of them synergize or even fuse with each other to create even more powerful power-ups. Should you fall in the arena, you suffer a penalty. Figuring out when to yield vs when to push forward is key. As they say, "Discretion is the better part of valor."

Progression

As you gain experience, you will gain levels and money. You can spend your hard-earned cash on perks and items that will help you in your next run. You will be hard pressed to make it to the end as a fresh- faced Squire. Instead, you will need to experiment with different builds and strategies to find the one that works best for your play style.
