Remember why you queued for arena? Not for the levels, not for the gear. For the fight. In ARENARCH, the fight is all there is.

No healers

No endless healing. Defensives, crowd control and timing decide everything. Die, respawn in seconds. The first team to reach the kill goal wins.

Everyone is equal

No levels. No stat gear. Equipment changes only how you look. You win by playing better, not by playing longer.

Classes and trump cards

8 classes, each with three weapon styles, talents and trump cards: powerful long cooldowns that persist through death. Burn one at the wrong moment and your team will feel it.

Addons built in

Damage meter, crowd control tracker, enemy cooldowns, cast bars, arena frames and distance to target. All there from the start, nothing to install.

Fast matches

Short, intense rounds, with a break between rounds to swap weapons and talents to counter your opponents.

Arena-wide ultimates

Every class has one ultimate every two minutes. It changes the whole arena, and each one has its own way to survive. It is a show even for those watching.

Four peoples · eight classes

Who steps into the arena

Each people brings two classes. More about the world and its heroes on the Lore page.

Ultimates

Eight ways to turn a fight

The whole arena hears every ultimate. Each one has its own way to survive.

  • WarriorRed HordeOrc squads charge down red lanes. Step off the lane or get knocked down.
  • ShamanGreat StormChain lightning strikes from above and jumps to everyone nearby. Scatter. A tornado spins in the middle.
  • PredatorWild HuntA rain of arrows, spinning crossbows in the middle and spears from the sky. Pillars save you.
  • MageCataclysmThe mage rises over the arena: cracks, a whirlpool, fire from the ground, then a blast. Run for the walls.
  • AssassinGloomDusk, swarms of bats and phantoms lunging at the Prey. See a red silhouette, sidestep.
  • Blood LordJudgment NightThe lord hovers under a blood moon. Whoever ends the night below the red line dies.
  • NecromancerApocalypseA gravestone rises in the middle and the dead climb out all over the arena. Break the stone.
  • WarlockArmageddonThe Gates of Hell open and demons walk out one after another. Break the gates.

Our promise

Free. Forever.

I'm an indie developer and a longtime arena player. ARENARCH is the arena I always wanted: a place to get friends together and run your own tournament, and a place to compete for real, at esports level. So the rules are simple.

Always free

Download and play for free. That stays true for good, not just at launch.

Looks only

Money buys only how your hero and weapons look. No power for money: in the arena skill wins, not your wallet.

No pressure

No aggressive marketing: no pop-ups, no "buy now" timers, no loot boxes.

Everything you buy goes to servers, new arenas and tournaments.
