Did I enjoy it? Yes. In terms of fun factor this game had it in the coupole hours I spent with it. I could easily see myself coming back to it and testing our different characters in different arenas.
Would I come back to it? Honestly, if time permitted I would probably return. If nothing else this is a game that I would mention to others as it is very different in terms of gameplay.
Personal Playtime: 2 hours
Full Review:
Kloot Arena is simple in terms of design and objective. Get rid of your opponent's marbles while you defend yours. Yes, it's a marble game. Yet, its darker asterism paves the way for each devilish character, or mask, to stand out. Of which there are 11.
Players take turns using their masks abilities to deplete the health of the enemy marbles or knock them out of the arena. There are several arenas to choose from, each of which lends itself to a particular mask. You can only enter the arena with two different masks and change them between turns. There are two rounds with a reset to the five original marbles after three turns. The player with the most marble eliminations wins.
The game caught me by surprise as it is both fairly deep and fun to test out the characters' strengths and weaknesses. I am also glad that you can test out characters before you use your gems to purchase them. This made the process substantially more enjoyable.
The thing that I was not a fan of was that there was no single-player content to speak of. While this isn't necessarily a problem, it makes the game's longevity limited, as being able to find a player is contingent on the number of players online. This seemed like an issue early on, but it resolved itself the more I played. However, I assume that at some point there will not be enough players to make this a recommendation.
The last thing that I would say is an issue is the monetization model. While you can unlock all of the characters fairly easily, I would say that being able to level both them and your base health makes the P2W arguments creep in. This is something that always rubs me the wrong way.
Regardless, the concept alone makes it at least worth checking out.

Free Challenging Strategy Game
I will be honest they really go all out with the artwork during story. You guys should seriously read it. All of them would be a novel worth over 40$ or higher. This the good part about the game and what I like so much.
The hardest part though is actually time consuming... You can reach the top ananytime. My account already reach level 70 and have over 10 E2. This happen only within 2 months. I'm serious but that is when I min-max all the insanity recovery speed by never let it reach max and also spent them all the time. It's time consuming for sure.

This is a pretty fun game reminiscent of Baldur's Gate and Diablo II. it has a classic element to it and it was only made by just one guy which is pretty cool! the ads are very few and reasonable, and you can but he game to remove it and get some premium things in the game like unlocking some premium chests you may find and gambling and some other things. at first I found navigation of pretty much everything pretty confusing and the UI super cluttered, but I got used to it and it's okay. Most of this game you'll spend in dungeon crawler kind of situations. Even at maximum level plenty of creatures towards the end can still easily kill you if you're not careful so the game is challenging allt he way through. the environments are detailed in unexpected ways, like foliage moving and skulls under your feet rolling out of the way. i wasn't expecting that out of a lower resolution graphics game! I would have appreciated being able to turn on and off the music, as one of the dungeon/cave tracks that plays in many of the maps is super repetitive. Another drawback is the story. It is extremely boring. not because the idea is stale but there is very little development or meaningful engagement with the story and the ending is abrupt and very anticlimactic. I was disappointed with that but the game overall is still lots of fun and totally worth it to play as a vintage feeling top down fantasy hack and slash!
