O.P. Arena is a battle royale of absurd proportions. The game includes over eighty unique characters that are all overpowered. Players use them to destroy each other, and earn victory points. Kill a dude, and you get 3 VP. Have the most damage on a dude when he kicks the bucket, you get 2 VP. Have the second most damage, gain 1 VP. Don't get too attached to your dudes. They will die. Quickly. No worries though, you'll get new ones to carry on the fight. Players can earn tokens to nerph other dude's abilities and shields to protect abilities. Each player also receives just 3 re-roll cubes at the start of the game, and when they are gone, they are gone. So make them count! In the arena it is usually best to have dudes with abilities that trigger on low numbers and high numbers to ensure you have your bases covered for maximum pointage. Remember, you can do a single damage and score the most points for a dude if it's the killing blow! So it's not all about brute strength, although that helps too. Fight until a player reaches 30+ VP, and that player wins. Unhappy Cthulhu vs. Helpless Bunny? Expansionist Alien vs. Righteous Paladin? Coal-fired Robot of Doom vs. a Little Girl? Rabid War Bear vs. Animated Chicken Bone? Mentally-Challenged Goat vs. Pirate Taco? These are all possible match-ups, plus thousands more. When you play O.P. Arena get ready to see some of the craziest, chaining combos you've ever seen in a game! It's pure, ridiculous fun.
