Ever imagined several final fantasy heroes and villains pitted against each other in a small arena. Opposing fronts trying to level the playing field with magic and sword play. Destiny Arena is a map where you will play final fantasy characters (heroes, villains) and win against the opposing team. That’s how I remembered it. Now this version has a lot of characters from different franchises (Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail and even Fate stay night). Since I haven’t played the map for quite some time now, this is a very refreshing surprise. It used to be just Final Fantasy based hero arena. Now it’s an anime/manga based since the majority of characters are from that genre. Along with same arena based maps of its kind it holds its own ground. With its wonderfully done skills and fast paced game play. Teamwork is needed to rack some kill score.

The Good

The models and textures are superb. You can see your characters face and see the resemblance from the video game. Item building is easy to grasp since the required upgrade for an item is simple next to it.

Character skill sets are also thought out. It notes what kind of effect your skill has with its type. There are also areas where you can, if you are strong enough, battle a Jinnchuuriki and hopefully win. You can use the soul that it drops either for making a cursed item or selling it in the shops. The skill effects aren’t that bad, not balls to the wall good but its okay. Considering they have it to script it themselves.

The Bad

One of the most fatal bugs has been fixed and I thank the map maker for this. Imagine out running a group of enemies, only to find out that you can not return to your base. You had a one out of ten chance of getting through. The enemies have a ten out of ten chance of unleashing all of their skills on your sorry hide. Thankfully that bug has been fixed. The game needs more custom content. Sure enough the game character models are on a league of its own but the terrain, the mobs scattered throughout the map and even the shop NPCs could use a little customization.

I mean the concept of killing a Jinnchuuriki for its soul is pretty cool, adding a custom model for it will make it cooler.

The opening description is pretty, how should I say this, interesting. It’s broken English with typos here and there. But I cannot let the description drive me away. The game might be good and fun to play. It’s a defend your castle/structure type of map. Right off the bat similar with the loading introduction the characters themselves have typos. Well the good thing is the description is pretty straight forward. You also get a free archer which also serves as your courier. The archer has a base health of twenty five thousand and range damage of one thousand, not bad for a courier.

Once you choose a character you make your way to the frontlines and start killing some enemy units. Killing the enemy is not as easy as it sounds, especially when your 5 hits away from dying even with a full health bar. Thankfully the class I picked is a sumaner which I guess it means it’s a summoner, since my skill set allow me to summon creatures to do my bidding. The character is also a ranged unit, thankfully.

There is no time to think. Just carefully surveying the battle field will chip off away important life points from your character, which in this case almost got mine killed. Enemies are constantly pouring in from the opposing front, giving you a brief moment to regroup then back to defending your base.  The map itself is pretty big. You can explore and find certain things such as enemies and allies. 

The Good

A map that is fun to play with friends or just defend the castle by your lonesome. Every once in a while a certain event takes place whether it be elves needing rescue or finding new allies to add to your army. It’s a nice touch. It has some nice custom models, one model in particular is one of my favorites by far.

The Bad

Like I said before the typos in this game is pretty prominent, not much character variety and the description is very lackluster. It maybe direct to the point but you can at least provide a back story for flavor. Spell bugs is also a concern. An example would be the summoner having a creature previously stronger only to revert to a weaker form with a higher spell level. I hope that they fix this in future updates.

And by far the best custom character I have ever laid my eyes on. It looks so very clean and it just blows my mind away. I..I don’t even know what it is…

Heres a download link for all the maps I’ve reviewed so far and a few that I haven’t. I should have put the download links in each post I made I will do so from now on. Cheers everyone.
