Apotheon Arena is the kind of game that can appeal to anyone, because it features the right mixture of action, role-play and platforming. On top of that, the marvelous visual design is to die for as well, especially if you can appreciate ingenious artwork and are a fan of 2D graphics. On the other hand, although the combat required a bit of skill and dedication to figure out, the AI never put too much of a fight.

Apotheon Arena is a free addition to the series and it's basically a standalone multiplayer component. Everything about the gameplay and the graphics is the same, but you now get to fight on open maps with other people. Starting with the variety of weapons you can utilize, all the way to the intricate level design, everything is thought out to be as enjoyable as possible over long periods of time.

Speaking of which, the combat is as tricky as you remember it from the single player campaign. Your character has the ability to wield a variety of interesting weapons, including knives, spears and axes. Some of these can be thrown as well, although you don’t have to worry about losing them most of the time, because you can just pick them up from where they land. Unorthodox weapons can come in handy as well, such as a well-timed boulder, while shields are a must if you intend on surviving for more than a few seconds.

Although classic Deathmatch sessions seem to be more popular, you can also enjoy Team Deathmatch and Team Elimination games, depending on your preferences. The arenas are nicely decorated too, although you should probably worry more about the traps that litter them. In fact, the traps make the experience that much more dynamic and volatile, because players have to work around them and even use them to their advantage.

Lastly, the controls are about as responsive and accurate as you would expect, with very little to complain about in this regard. Timing is as important as ever, on the other hand, because each attack requires a different motion, and that takes time. Thankfully, there is a short tutorial to show you the basics so that even newcomers can get up and running from the first minutes.

Apotheon Arena is as smooth and pretty as the original game it spawned from. Each arena has its charm, the weapons are a blast to use in combat, and you can always find someone to play with. Thus, if you enjoyed Apotheon, Apotheon Arena should be a no-brainer, especially since it is completely free.

What's new in Apotheon Arena 1.3:

  • Now automatically switches to the dedicated graphics card over integrated - so if the game was running poorly on your gaming laptop, this could fix that
  • Fixed a few problems with connecting to bad servers
  • Fixed some start up crashes - and better logging for when start up crashes happen
