Starena

Starena is a 3D voxel-art boss-rush arena game with RPG elements. You play as Mecha Reaper J3 in the Starena Intergalactic Competition, fighting creatures and robots from across the universe for the audience’s support and the title of winner.

Arena combat

Build combos by landing repeated strikes: each hit in a combo deals more damage, and the final hit deals a heavy blow. A perfectly timed dodge, performed as an attack hits you, grants a 100% critical-hit chance. Performing for the fans can earn support and gold, while fans sometimes ask you to complete tasks for extra aid. Gold also increases your attack damage.

Bosses are made up of different parts. Attacking specific parts can weaken a boss, and destroyed parts can be used against it. When you keep losing, you can meet Billy Bass at the transmission point at the arena entrance. Talking with him enables Billy mode, which grants your enemy enormous advantages.

Weapons and equipment

Bosses can drop weapon parts when you attack specific areas. Use the parts to build weapons and mount powerful attacks. Parts from the same weapon series grant a set effect, and you can choose which weapon to use. The voxel-based weapon system also lets you create swords, including recreations of famous weapons in the game.

J3 has a wardrobe of skins for designing a battle suit. Skins have different attributes. You can also dress your companion Rena in different skins, which change her attacks, including effects such as bullet hell and trash.

Gold collected in combat can be spent in the shop on equipment and decorations. Between battles, you can return to the lounge to repair and relax with activities such as lifting dumbbells and using microblog, or simply do nothing.

Bosses and fans

There are over 30 bosses, including more threatening alternative versions. Each has its own special skills, and their parts can be destroyed and used. Your actions attract fans from across the universe; winning brings you more fans, and different fans provide different items that can help you in combat.

Commentary

Two commentators provide live sports-style commentary during battles. A mysterious commentary group can also be unlocked by entering a code in the game.
