A browser-based arcade arena game similar to titles such as Thing Thing Arena or Madness Interactive on Newgrounds where players load in, customise their characters, and enter the arena within minutes of starting. Players play as mages and have a set amount of spells, around 4-6. They can unlock more spells to put in their spell slots during customisation by playing and defeating increasing amounts of enemies, or fulfilling achievements such as dealing over 500 damage in a single charged fireball. The controls would be mouse to aim and fire, keys to move, and it would be a fast-paced PvP action game.

Once loaded in, players move left and right along a looping backdrop which scales in size proportionate to the number of players, from a small grove to a twisting forest. They have a health and magic bar, which refill over time - magic recharging quickly, and health regenerating slowly - and move while aiming spells and dodging to be highest on the leaderboards.

Your name is Godric, and they call you Godless.

For years you've contested in the Gladiator's Arena to earn your living, betting your life against any opponent who will face you to earn your next meal. It's a harsh life, and it just got harsher.

The Empire you live in was recently visited by a series of otherworldly prophets, who possessed the Grand Champion and then struck bargains with the lesser competitors, their eternal souls to fuel their armies in the afterlife in return for great magical power in the mortal world. Every single competitor accepted their deal so as to defeat the empowered Champion - except, that is, for you.

You've always come out of the ring victorious in the past, but this will be different. Using only your wits and your sword and board, will a basic human be able to duel with wizards and witches of all creeds and leave the Arena standing?

A simple 2.5D arena game with maneuvers such as dodging, blocking, and use of a variety of weapons, potions, scrolls, and tools bought with gold won from battles. Research your next opponent in the Annex and devise a strategy to defeat them based on their recorded ablities.
