To pay 100 Geo to unlock the trial (subsequent attempts are free).Still, players should be wary of the 'belfly' enemies that lurk on ceilings leading to the Colosseum, exploding near the player after noticing them.Īfter finally reaching the top of the cave, the Colosseum can be found to the far right - it's inside the corpse of a giant worm.Īcting as the 'easiest' of the three trials, the Trial of the Warrior is the only one available to players visiting the Colosseum of Fools for the first time. Players will eventually enter a cave, however, which shouldn't prove too difficult to navigate - most of the challenging enemies are tucked away in optional areas. It's easy to tell when the Colosseum of Fools is close - corpses from the arena frequently fall from the sky, and the platforming gets progressively harder. Skilled players will have mastered the art of 'bouncing' on enemies with well-timed downward slashes, but should still prioritize getting to safety as soon as possible - there are no benches or springs to rest at on the way to the Colosseum. Reaching the Colosseum isn't easy - the Kingdom's Edge is a hostile area, home to several flying enemies that will spit projectiles and slowly pursue players as they ascend the cliffs. The narrator describes the settings and reads the descriptions aloud, and the adventure progresses based on the players' decisions, the results of an action being determined by the characters' skills and knacks.The Colosseum of Fools can be found at the very top of the Kingdom's Edge area - one that can be found connecting to the Ancient Basin by way of tram, City of Tears, and Royal Basin. Players can invent and develop their own scenarios as well, thus the game has an infinite replay value. There are several official scenarios, both on the Warriors website, and in the Omen of the Stars books. Once the players create their characters, choose a game master (called Narrator), and decide which scenario to play, the game can begin. At character creation, the player can choose three knacks.Īs they progress through scenarios, characters improve their abilities and skills, and receive new skills or knacks. Knacks: actions that a cat must learn before being able to use it (for example, herb lore or tracking).At character creation, the player can choose to improve three skills, and also receives a bonus improvement based on the Clan the cat is a member of. These are represented by a number between 0 and 5, and can be improved by training or practice.

Skills: actions that every cat is able to do with more or less success (for example climbing or sneaking).At character creation, the player can spread a total of 5 points among these. Each ability is represented by a number between 1 and 10. Abilities: Strength, Intelligence and Spirit.Each character has the following attributes: Players assume the role of cats that are to be created using a set of rules. The Warriors Adventure Game is a version of the pen-and-paper RPG, described above. Ī game ends when the party either completes its goal, or if the goal becomes unreachable (for example, all of the characters are knocked out). Characters may improve their attributes while progressing through the scenario. For example, whilst looking around a cave, a character may or may not notice an important object or secret passage, depending on the character's powers of perception. The choices shape the direction and outcome of the game actions succeeding or failing based on a pre-determined set of rules. Most actions are straightforward for example, if the player's character looks around a cave, the game master will describe the cave if the character leaves it, the game master will describe whatever they encounter outside the cave. Players describe the actions of their characters through speech, and within the rules, they have the freedom to improvise. Ī game consists of the party progressing through a scenario (adventure), usually with a certain goal to complete (such as defeating an enemy or finding an artifact). There is also a game master, who supervises the game, presents the scenario, and decides on outcomes by applying the rules. Players assume the role of a single character, having a set of attributes, created according to the rules and guidelines of the game. A pen-and-paper RPG is a popular type of game played by two or more people.
