Battle Pals
A downloadable game for Windows
You and your pals decide to join the Grand Colosseum for glory and riches. Since you were the one who managed to keep a pet rock alive the longest as a kid, you've been voted team manager. Surely those skills will translate perfectly to leading a crew of gladiators into battle… right?
Decide how to spend your hard earned money on equipment, spells, GYM training, or on recruiting new pals for the cause. Tell your pals how to prioritize their skills and prepare them for the upcoming battles as you try to climb up towards the first division and become League Champions.
--How to play
Play with up to four players. Manage your team and watch them fight in the auto-battler.
Recruit new pals to your team, gear and train them as you see fit, set priorities according to your battle plans, and try and win the fights.
On the right side of your screen, select the current active pal you want to buy new gear, spells, or train its stats at the GYM. When you are ready, move towards the battle. In the priorities panel, you can set the priorities for active pal. For buffs and healing spells, you can move your pals from bottom to the spots under the priority to set the targets for said spell.
When preparing for battle, decide which pals will join the battle by dragging them to the spots and the battle will start in that formation. The more pals join the battle, the more money you will earn from it via ticket sales. Winning a battle will also grant you winning bonus. Reach and win the 1st Division to win the game.
The game is inspired by an old Finnish game, Areena 5 by https://www.seppos.net/.
