Krosmaster Arena

Krosmaster Arena

Krosmaster Arena is the online version of the PvP-centric strategy board game under the same name from Anikama. You battle in terms of strategy and placement with a team of up to 5 Krosmasters to secure victory either through a combination of elimination and/or attrition.

Pros:

- Large rotating roster of Krosmasters

- Skill based gameplay

- Adventure/Arena Modes

- Colorful palette

Cons:

- Difficult learning curve

- Unbalanced Krosmasters

Graphics: The game has a very nice art style that does relate to a degree in the 3D space. You can understand who your character is via the nice display of portraits each Krosmaster has associated to them. The arenas in which you battle upon also have a nice color palette that gives off a peaceful vibe even though you’re in the thick of battle.

Gameplay: Though it is a strategy based game, it does move fairly well even when you’ve got about 5 Krosmasters on the field to move, attack, and collect coins with. Each master has a set amount of movement points (usually 3) and actions points (usually 6) in which they can set themselves up to attack, collect, or escape from their opponents. You have about 60-ish seconds to complete all the required actions per master. Do to the large map and permanent decisions players will take their time before committing to their actions to keep from making mistakes. Due to this matches tend to run on average between 20-35 minutes depending on skill and roster.

Music: The music when you’re in battle has a peaceful tone to it, which allows you to not feel so tense when you’re in the process of moving or waiting. This does help because when matches get down to the wire, having added stress of the music doesn’t help you keep a clear head and make rational decisions.

Overall: Krosmaster Arena is an enjoyable experience especially if you have a love for either strategy games or a fan of the board game. I would recommend you give the game a shot and see what you think of it.
