I would like to walk through the gameplay a bit, in the battles in the arena, the players will have characters, and the characters will have their own creatures or you can call them animals, each creature will have its own characteristics, for example, the Lava Top creature explodes when approaching the enemy, there is a creature that is in the arena to heal the character who released it. Paul Bettner compared the battle in the arena with the battle of Pokemon and in some ways you can agree with him, if you remember the battles of Pokemon, then the trainers released exactly those Pokemon that had the ability to cope with the opponent's Pokemon, the features of each creature will play an important role in battles on arena in wildcard. There is a possibility that the game will have the voice of an announcer who will comment on events directly from the arena, it will be very interesting to see the implementation of such an interesting bun.
