Diamond Hands Arena

Diamond Hands Arena is a turn-based roguelike about hiring gladiators and entering fights against other teams. You begin as a traveller with some cash, hire one or two gladiators, and send them into combat. Victories earn Diamonds, which you can spend on more gladiators, skills and spells, or equipment from the Shop. You can also visit the Tavern to gossip for information about an upcoming fight.

Build your team

The game includes 24 characters, 96 items and 15 skills. Choose a playstyle built around charging into enemies as a berserker, supporting your team as a tank, or using magic such as lightning storms, curses and acid. You can equip weapons and armor, and use pets.

Tactical combat

Combat is turn-based, so you can take your time making decisions. The game uses mouse controls, and its pace can suit players who dislike fast-paced play or have limited time or impaired movement. Choose from the Novice, Warrior and Warlord difficulty tiers.

A changing tournament

The setup changes with every run, and difficulty increases with each fight. You make choices about your team, abilities and equipment as you try to stay alive and reach the top of the tournament. Its fantasy gladiators and hand-drawn presentation have a playful, unconventional style.
