About this game
Trakonius is an Action-Roguelike combat game set in brutal gladiator arenas. Gain permanent and temporary powers, spend the gold you earn in battle at the blacksmith, and fight your way through the journey using different weapons and abilities. Each weapon has its own unique combat style, allowing you to create different strategies through upgrades and enhancements. Every victory in the arena brings you one step closer to the truth… and to the ending you’ve been seeking.
Combat Style
In Trakonius, you must stay constantly alert, truly feeling like you are fighting within the arena itself. Since you will often face multiple enemies at once, you may be exposed to several attacks simultaneously. Of course, mastering Dodge and Parry at the right moment can dramatically change the course of battle. Just like in a real fight, your split-second decisions are crucial. Enemies will search for openings and strike when you are at your weakest. In this fast-paced and epic struggle, your strategy, reflexes, and patience will come together to become your greatest weapon.
Character Progress
Throughout his journey in the arena, Trakonius can grow stronger in many different ways. With the Gladiator Spirits earned during battle, he can unlock numerous permanent powers. As he progresses, the gold he collects can be spent at the blacksmith to purchase weapons and armor with unique advantages. By fighting in the arena, he gains experience, levels up, and obtains divine powers. And the offers of the nobles will always be there to aid him on his path...
A Different Adventure in Every Run
Throughout the game, Trakonius will encounter many different characters. Some will force him into unexpected events, some will sell potions, and others will offer challenges for different battles. Every choice made along the way will create new opportunities for Trakonius to grow and evolve in each run...

🏛️ Noble System Reworked
🐞 Critical Noble Interaction Bug FixedThanks to your feedback and bug reports, we were able to quickly identify and resolve a critical issue that could completely block game progression. We greatly appreciate everyone who took the time to share detailed reports and help us track down the problem.In certain situations, nobles with a negative relationship toward the player could still trigger interaction events. Although the noble would refuse to speak, the event chain would fail to resolve correctly, preventing progression and leaving players stuck in the arena, bathhouse, or other systems.This issue could manifest in several different ways:• Encountering a noble with a negative relationship would close the dialogue window, but the player would be unable to proceed to the arena.• Interactions in the Bathhouse and other noble-related events could fail to complete, causing progression to stop.• In some cases, defeating every enemy in the arena would not complete the encounter, leaving the player trapped inside the arena.• Entering and leaving Training Mode could cause unexpected behavior in certain noble interactions and merchant systems.We have completely reworked the interaction flow and fixed the issue that allowed negatively aligned nobles to block game progression.With this update, all known scenarios related to noble relationships causing progression locks have been resolved. If you encounter anything similar in the future, please continue sending us your feedback and bug reports.🆕 New FeaturesIn this update, we've made major changes to the Noble System to make each run feel more dynamic and unpredictable. Our goal is to create more unique stories and make noble relationships a meaningful part of your journey.Choosing a Noble Card will now affect your standing with rival noble factions. Depending on the relationships you build, various events may occur throughout your run, bringing both benefits and drawbacks.Noble Cards no longer appear in level-up rewards.
