Unfortunately, battles aren’t repeatable and there’s no way to get exp or gold outside of the portal. The game demands spam clicking as your cooldown wears off–I’ve noticed reaction delays in the hundreds of milliseconds on the human end can change the tide of battle.Īfter each battle, you get some exp and gold. However, the primitive nature of this mechanic means that when your AI foe is faster than you, the battles can become extremely frustrating. Upgrading speed is one of the most useful upgrades there is. If you timed your attack perfectly you could dodge certain opponents’ attacks while delivering damage, or even parry an opponent’s attack. The timing of attacks was a big part of the game. What makes this game precious, and what gave it serious appeal in its era, is that timers and cooldowns were not mainstream in Flash games at the time. There’s no movement involved and not much skill required once you make it to battle. Enemy HP isn’t displayed by default, it’s unlocked via a passive skill that becomes available during the mid-game. In your first battle, you start by spamming the ‘attack’ button until your opponent dies. If you click too slowly, your opponent will also probably win. If you don’t do anything, your opponent will attack you and kill you. Though the second game in the series would be classified as turn-based, combat in Battle Arena actually uses a tick system. Rather, the points can be spent on a skill tree comprised of 9 active skills and 6 passive skills. The experience points you can gain don’t accrue toward a traditional level-up scheme. The gear is limited and the leveling system is primitive. One where you can buy upgrades, one where you can upgrade your gear and spend skill points, and one with the portal. There are 25 different bosses to defeat on the hardest difficulty level, called terminator. From what I can tell, this was his first game.Ĭombat is instanced through a portal. The series’ creator, Krinn, published a compelling Flash RPG that has been played millions of times. Sinjid: Shadow of the Warrior (December 2004) I enjoy passing the time by playing the games from my childhood, so I worked my way through the Sinjid trilogy. Seeing as I’m home at my parents’ house for Christmas, this felt appropriate. By the time you read this, it’ll be but a memory, as it will reach end-of-life and support will be dropped from modern browsers. The first website I visited was Addicting Games.įlash had its golden age. I still remember the day that we upgraded to broadband internet. When I was beginning to use a computer without supervision back in 2005, Flash games were one of the most entertaining things one could find on the internet.

I'd recommend getting the katana (2nd floor) Power band (2nd floor) Claw Shield (2nd Floor) and the Metal Armour/demon rags if you can afford them (2nd/3rd floor).Disclosure: I may earn affiliate revenue or commissions if you purchase products from links on my website. Obviously you wont be able to get all of that stuff in the beginning but those are the first things you should get. Stick with the katana until the guard blade in the dark rift shop. Use the power band until the you can get that golden thing from the dark rift shop. I'd replace the claw shield with the blade sheild (3rd floor) but you will want to switch up the shields during the dark rift. The demon rags are ok if you have the money, but if you've already bought the metal armour then save until you get that golden armour. One is easier in the beginning, but harder during the dark rift. Basically you can either use the vertical strike, or you can wait until you have the avenging stab and use that (in the meantime, build up inner strength and attack with vertical strike. I'd recommend saving 2 or three points so that as soon as you reach level ten you can spend 4 points on avenging stab. The strategy with vertical strike is straightfoward, with the avenging stab you want to use you normal attack until they break your sheild and do some damage to you. Your normal attack should be pretty good because of inner strength. (don't do execution, it takes way too much mana) Just have a lot of potions cuz you'll need to heal a fair amount and its kinda expensive and you don't have a lot of mana.Īnyway start using avenging stab once you've taken some damage. In terms of stats you'll mostly want to go with strength and occaisonally max health. Don't bother with mana, you'll get very little increase.
