About the Game

A highly replayable fantasy based game designed to mimic the feel and pace of competitive arena e-sports. Oathen uses six heroes with their own unique playstyles and skill decks, it comes with three game modes, and a dynamically changing arena that makes each match unique.

Adventure into a randomly generated game board full of traps and treasures, where you will battle it out for the title of arena champion. Players will pre-plan their turns ahead of time, studying their competitors and finding the right combination of abilities to grant them victory. Will your oathen hero unleash a flurry of blows against your target? Or will the other players play defensively to negate your attacks?

Combat carries out one ability at a time, each player playing their next chosen action. The strongest of abilities will then go on cooldown, and will be unavailable for use until a certain number of turns has passed. Plan correctly, and you could pull off amazing combos - fail, and you may be exposed to such attacks yourself.

The arena is constructed with 36 of 52 total locations, providing boosts and traps that can alter your battle, and making every game into a unique match. Oathen also comes with different game modes, including arena, capture the flag, and round table.

Choose between six Oathen champions to play as. Each one plays differently with 20 unique abilities to plan - including an ultimate ability that can turn the tides of battle. Future expansions will increase the number of heroes to 24, including defensive characters, healers, and devastating damage dealers.
