Colosseum of Shadows: Alchemist’s Secret Arena is a game about a clandestine fighting society, it's a world where alchemy is forbidden. Alchemists gather in a secret coliseum to test their knowledge and create homunculus-chimeras to fight each other in a death tournament. It is said that the winner will bask in glory and be able to challenge the supreme creation hidden deep within the coliseum. However, no one has achieved this so far.

Because of our inspirations, the game turned to be an auto-battler, where the only input from the player is the selection of body pieces every fight, which will modify the homunculus’ stats, and add skills to their arsenal.

The game will follow a structure where different homunculi will join the fight to be the strongest, and only one will remain alive. Six different alchemists will be building their own homun that they believe will be the winner of the match.

The match is separated into different rounds, five to be precise.

  1. Weak Homun Fight: This is a simple fight to get you started, giving you a random body part for you to pick and equip your homun automatically
  2. Then, from the second to fourth fights, you will fight against a randomly generated homunculus with different pieces.
  3. For the fifth fight, you will fight against the boss of the game, which is a randomly generated homunculus with two accessories. More than complete.
  4. If you finish all of the fights without dying, you win the game.


Hope you enjoy it, and let us know which build you like <3 And by the way, the code is up in github, if you wanna take a look.

It is a very good auto battle, I really like the design they chose for everything, a very good base.!! :DD 8=D

Love the art and how each piece you pick changes the look of your character. The music adds to the atmosphere and feels kinda creepy. Cozy game! 

Thanks for the feedback! ❤️ Yes, we want to make the game a bit creepy.

fun little game! definitely some balance issues regarding certain builds/status effects (paralyze/stun stacking haha) but overall an interesting concept. very cute how your body changes with the upgrades too

Yeah, balancing surely is something that needs work
t-thanks for playing!!
