Heart of Battle is open for beta testing!
As a star gladiator in Coritan City, you have the power to sway public opinion as nobody else does. The city is divided, ruled by the glittering Illustrious who use their wealth and status to maintain their power over the struggling masses. A lucky few have access to magic as well: it can be used to heal, but it can also be used as a weapon, or to reinforce the bars of prisons.
Below them, rumors of revolution simmer - and nowhere more strongly than among the gladiators. Former soldiers, political prisoners, and prisoners of war now bide their time, plotting to rise up.
In this treacherous web of alliances that you must navigate, the one certainty is your own heart. Will you find love with a gentle healer, haunted by a tragic past? A wealthy patron who could promise you a life of luxury? Or even one of your fellow gladiators, whose muscles and martial skill you admire through every battle: a fervent ex-revolutionary now condemned to the same servitude as you, or a bold daring warrior who seeks fame and glory.
Victory can mean a better life for you and your beloved - but what will you do if you find yourself on the opposite side of a gladiatorial match from the one you love? Or on the opposite side of a revolution?
- Play as male, female, or non-binary; trans or cis; gay, straight, bi, demisexual, asexual, or aromantic.
- Romance a gentle healer; a glory-hound gladiator; a wealthy patron; or an ex-revolutionary.
- Choose your weapon: fight with sword, mace, bow, daggers, or bladed gauntlet.
- Negotiate your way through relationships with your superiors, and clash with a bitter rival.
- Win battles with honor, or scheme and cheat to take down your enemies.
- Incite a riot - or even a revolution!
I am SO proud of my wife for creating this game. It’s heartwrenching, tense, action-packed, and hot. I’m so happy more people will get to enjoy it!

You are a Séraphinical.
A being with long wings, able to fly high up in the sky, a being blessed with immortality,andfreedom. Thehumans admired your species from afar, until it became jealousy.
You witnessed it all. Your family was taken away from you, your friends, your closest ones, everyone, but the worst of all? Your freedom. The freedom your species fought the gods to gain, the many storms you have endured, only to disappear into dust, bloody dust.
You fought back, but despite everything you were captured, left alive for some shady scientific experiments. A question kept pondering into your mind, why were you left alive? You? The black sheep of your family? It remains unknown to you.
Many years have passed, they called you XVIII, your name ripped away from you. You are not just a toy, you’re an invaluable asset to them, you kill people you are tasked to kill. An ‘assassin’, you kill to live.
Will you be a puppet to the end? Or will you finally cut the strings that have been holding you down for all those years? Or perhaps… you will find someone that will hold dear for you?
• Play as a male, woman or non-binary.
•A ‘fully’ customizable MC, except for the wings details, and the height which can be: average or tall.
•Play as an experiencedsamurai, you have a deep black katana.
•Magic is a thing in this world.
