Get Athelan Battlegrounds for PC

Athelan Battlegrounds is a turn-based tactics game where you build a team of champions and compete against other players. Matches take place in neon-lit cyberpunk arenas, and the game has no meta progression or pay-to-win mechanics. Its rules are easy to learn but difficult to master.

Build your team

Choose champions, including duplicates of your favorites, and position them anywhere on your side of the board. You can save team loadouts and switch between them before entering PvP queues. Customize champion skins, board tiles, the arena and death benches; these are cosmetic options.

Turn-based battles

You face another player and their team composition. On each turn, choose one champion to move and attack with one of their two abilities. Manage cooldowns, positioning, tempo and attack strategy to wipe out the opposing team. Matchups vary with the teams and decisions involved.

Create puzzles

A puzzle maker lets players build custom levels for others to play. Puzzles can use entirely new mechanics and objectives, including setups for mini D&D campaigns with the game’s champions.

Tournaments and streams

Regular tournaments give players the chance to compete for the title of best player, a custom in-game profile icon and prize money. You can also watch tournament streams featuring a shoutcaster and the game designer.
