About Bongo Arena

This is a turn-based strategy game with a twist on the traditional gameplay. The twist is, instead of directly controlling the characters IN THE BATTLE, you will be designing the strategies BEFORE THE BATTLE. When the battle begins, your units will follow exactly the strategy you defined, and all you can do then is just watching.

Different challenges are presented in different levels. One strategy won't be able to defeat them all. You'll need to learn, adapt then conquer.

Developer Note: This is my first game on Steam and I did this by myself. I wanted to avoid popular genres and do something different. Since this type of gameplay isn't popular, the game experience might be somewhat clunky. It's OK if you don't like the game and want to leave a bad review, but do leave your thoughts so that I could make this game better!

✦ AI summary

Bongo Arena is a turn-based strategy game where you preset unit commands before watching battles play out, featuring 20 levels split between Bronze and Silver leagues with varying strategic challenges. Players appreciate the strategic depth that increases over time and praise the graphics, though the game appears unfinished and abandoned by its developer, which significantly impacts the overall experience. Most reviewers found it enjoyable enough to recommend, though the ease of achievements and relatively short playtime may limit its long-term appeal.

There are a total of 20 battles (1-10 Bronze League & 11-20 Silver League), with the completion of each league granting an achievement.* Each level presents different challenges, thus requiring different strategies and adjustments along the way. While an interesting concept, it is unfortunately unfinished and seemingly abandoned by the developer (the latter of which being the reason for a "Not Recommended" review). *[i][b][u]Note[/u]:[/b] As of 06/01/2025, 2/2 achievements are bugged and unlock automatically when viewing the game in your Steam library; however, Bongo Arena will only display under your "Perfect Games" after installing and launching the game.[/i] [h1]Walkthrough & Achievement Guide[/h1] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3491848014

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.
