Two in the Arena

【Overview】 A fully roguelike arena-survival action game where you fend off waves of enemies. You control the mage Rin and survive the arena alongside Kohaku, a swordsman who fights by his own judgment. A single run lasts just a few minutes. Rather than endless, it's a clear-based game with a full story and ending. Even when you fall, you earn points for the permanent-growth "Memoria Tree," so every run moves you forward. 【Controls】 https://quirkamuz.cyou/combo/en.html Supports both keyboard & mouse and gamepad. For the most comfortable experience, we recommend playing with a gamepad. 【Characters】 Name: Rin A backline attacker wielding magic bolts, wide-area freezes, and meteors. She dominates the field with freezes and lands the chain's finishing blow herself. Shield and Heal let her survive, too. Name: Kohaku A frontline melee swordsman. He absorbs enemy assaults with parries and guards, and cuts through their ranks with sweeping strikes. He switches tactics in response to your commands. An elegant gentleman who calls himself "the Collector." What he collects is not strength, but the "genuine article" that never breaks under any adversity. Beneath a gentle smile, from the stands, he quietly appraises those who survive to the end—today, as ever. 【How Rin and Kohaku Fight Together】 ◆ Mage Rin (you control) A backline attacker who shoots enemies with magic bolts, freezes them with Ice Nova, and burns them down with Meteor. Shield fully blocks even a boss's biggest attacks, and Heal keeps both allies' HP up. Fill the gauge and unleash the Ult—6 seconds of invincibility that wipes enemies out. ◆ Swordsman Kohaku (a self-acting partner) A melee swordsman who cuts down enemies on the front line and deflects blows with Parry. His whole character changes with command modes: ・Attack … ×1.5 damage, pushing forward ・Defend … an iron wall with boosted reduction and parry ・Taunt … draws enemy aggro onto himself ・Rescue … ×2 move speed, rushing to Rin's side Growth within a run, and permanent growth across runs. ◆ Level-up draft of 3 (in-run growth) Collect the EXP Orbs that drop when you defeat enemies to level up. Each time, three skills out of all 46 are offered, and you pick one to power up. Lay down a barrage with Split × multi-shot, or wipe enemies out with Frost Blade × Chain Freeze—the order and combination you take create a completely different build every single run. ◆ Memoria Tree, 36 nodes (permanent growth) With points earned in battle, awaken 36 nodes branching out in four directions from the center. Strengthen Rin and Kohaku's base stats, Ice Nova, and Meteor. At the ends of the branches wait special nodes that let you start out already owning skills you'd normally only get by leveling up. 【What's Included】 ◆ Story 11 main chapters. Rin and Kohaku's tale of escape from the arena, all the way to its ending. ・A "Defeat Gallery" where you can look back on defeat scenes (English product description provided by the creator.) You control just one mage—Rin. Her partner, the swordsman Kohaku, fights on his own. Forge a different build every run from 46 skills, and grow permanently through the Memoria Tree even when you lose. Sweep away the swarming enemies with blade and magic. An arena-survival roguelite for two, with a full story and ending
