About

Circle Arena

Read full description

Circle Arena is a fast-paced 2D arena fighting game where colorful circle fighters battle it out with unique weapons, abilities, and ultimate powers. Choose from over 20 characters, each with a distinct play style. Blaze rains fireballs. Frost freezes enemies solid. Cowboy lassos and reels in targets. Necromancer summons undead minions. Cactus punishes anyone who gets close with thorns and spikes. Every character plays differently. Place fighters anywhere on the arena and watch them clash. Melee warriors spin weapons and chase down targets. Ranged attackers fire projectiles from afar. Each fighter builds up an ultimate ability through combat — from devastating orbital strikes to arena-wide earthquakes. Build your own fighters with the custom class creator. Pick a combat type, choose from 10 weapon models, 15 passive effects, and 14 ultimate abilities. Mix and match to create your perfect fighter. Switch between free-for-all and team mode. In team mode, fighters split into red and blue teams with full friendly fire protection. Right-click any fighter to remove them from the arena.
