Gameplay Overview
Skeleton Arena is a roguelite dungeon crawler where you battle through waves of undead in procedurally generated arenas. Choose a new warrior after every death and fight to keep the cursed portal from overwhelming your fort.
Master Tactical Combat
Combat is fast, reactive, and rewards timing and positioning.
Use light and heavy attacks to create custom combos and break enemy defenses.
Dodge to avoid damage, close distance, or reposition mid-fight.
Equip active and passive abilities to suit your playstyle — from explosive strikes to defensive buffs.
Every weapon feels distinct, with its own moveset and rhythm.
Death Is Just the Beginning
When you fall, a new warrior rises. Play as random soldiers, volunteers, or mysterious characters from the fortress. Each has their own gear and quirks — adapt or perish.
