TLDR: Recommended for value. If you like card battlers, it's fun enough. I paid USD $7.45 on steam sale. Good value at this price. It's a low res budget knockoff of Fights in Tight spaces. Movement is paramount, you start with very little, good luck finding all the movement cards you need and in the end, you might not get the RNG anyway and lose. It's also a single board type, there's no RNG to the arena. There's a variety of classes, but really not much in the way of build variety.

A well balanced tiny gem of a game with great pixel graphics, theme, and roguelite gameplay. Equivalent to slay the spire but with a board

It's been a while since I've played Alina of the Arena but with slay the spire 2 releasing in early access I was reminded of how much I love this game specifically. Earlier last year I bought and tried out slay the spire 1 and was left a little disappointed in large part because Alina of the Arena, this game. Does so much with the hex based movement system that slay the spire 1 just did not do with its blocking. So since I've been reminded I'm here to give a big thumbs up to what is honestly my favorite roguelike deckbuilder I have ever played.

Having beaten the game with every character on Veteran, I can wholeheartedly recommend AotA for any strategy gamer. I really like the variety of cards, builds, enemies and bosses, and the metagame is great fun too. I like that battles aren't purely about the cards you chose: positioning is very important. In fact, movement cards (cards that give you mobility or let you push enemies around) are incredibly powerful. AotA is clearly inspired by Slay the Spire's gameplay with some fresh twists. The different characters resemble potential builds in Dark Souls. This can be quite limiting: e.g. playing the pyromancer heavily incentivises you to just go full flame build with some movement cards and defence. In contrast, each character in Slay the Spire can build in many different directions. For this reason, the most interesting characters are the Slave and the Deprived because they can go in many different build directions. Most characters are fun to play in the their own right, but it means there's a little less strategic depth. I think the events could be better implemented and are unbalanced. Many events seem to be just trade some money for something. Some events have a huge impact on your run but I tended to ignore most of them. I enjoyed the cursed weapons and had some broken runs with them. It took me a while to understand colour switching and the benefits of it. Many of the characters can completely ignore it, especially ones who use 2-handed weapons, which feels like a bit of a waste of potential. It's a fun mechanic for characters that do use it though. I think the Mystery Shop can result in a pretty busted early game, compared to the Whale bonuses at the beginning of Slay the Spire runs which have a lighter touch. I do miss the dopamine hit of something that is equivalent to picking up new relics in Slay the Spire, which AotA has but in a much more limited fashion. If you are craving a roguelike card game that scratches the Slay the Spire itch, but is a bit more casual, easier but with less strategic depth, you could do a lot worse than AotA. I've really enjoyed my time with it, and I'll probably come back to it every now and again to beat the game on the harder difficulties.

It's my favorite Slay the Spire-esc game. I actually think it's even more satisfying then the Slay. I highly recommend it.
