Hello, skeleton slayers!
Here's what's new (and coming soon) in Skeleton Arena:
New Elemental Swords: Fire & Poison
Two new weapons are now available for testing:
- Fire Sword – Applies a short burning effect that deals damage over time.
- Poison Sword – Inflicts a venom status that slowly drains enemy health.
Both weapons have 4 upgrade levels, making them more powerful and improving their effects. As they level up, the burn lasts longer, and poison stacks faster!
Enemies now display status icons above their heads so you can track what effects are active in combat.
Status Effects System (Work in Progress)
We’ve started building a full status effect system that will support:
- Doom - Burn - Poison - Bleed - Freeze - Stun ...and more!
These effects will eventually be used by enemies, weapons, abilities, consumables, and even traps.

Dual Weapon Combat (Coming Soon)
We're also working on a system for main and secondary weapons, allowing combinations like:
- Sword + Shield
- Bow + Dagger
- Staff + Magic Book
This will open up new strategies and playstyles — stay tuned for more in the next updates!
Thanks for reading and following the development of Skeleton Arena. If you’ve got feedback or ideas — we’d love to hear them in the Steam Discussions!
Until next time, gugadev.
