Arena
Deathmatch
Free-for-all carnage. Every weapon allowed, first to the kill limit wins.
The Game
An arena-shooter Souls hybrid, in armour
Lord of the Halo fuses fast arena shooting with melee timing, dodge-rolls and class abilities. Equip a blade, a bow or raw elemental power and fight across a dozen modes.
Three Combat Styles
Cycle melee, ranged and elemental projectiles on the fly. Light/heavy combos, charged bows and seven elements.
Souls-like Defence
Stamina, guarding, parries and i-frame dodge-rolls reward precise, deliberate play.
Eight RPG Classes
From a teleporting Witch to a snowballing Vampire Necromancer — each plays nothing alike.
Play Your Way
Online, over LAN, or local split-screen — with bots to fill any lobby.
Game Modes
One arena, many wars
Twelve-plus modes share one combat core — competitive PvP, round-based objectives and cooperative PvE.
Arena
Team Deathmatch
Red versus Blue. Auto-balanced teams race to fifty kills.
Arena
Precision
No shields, marksman rules. Headshots are one-shot kills — every angle is lethal.
Objective
Capture the Flag
Two-flag CTF. Steal theirs while yours stays home to score.
Objective
One-Flag
Round-based assault on a single flag. Attack and defence swap each round.
Arena
Relic Hold
Grab the skull and survive. The carrier is melee-only — hold to win.
Arena
Plague
One alpha turns survivors into the horde. Last survivor standing wins.
Signature
RPG
Class-based free-for-all — lock in one of eight classes and fight to 25 kills.
Arena
Element Ball
Elemental dodgeball. Cycle fire, water, ice, earth and air — last team alive wins the round.
Objective
Assault
Carry the bomb, plant it, defend the timer — or defuse before it blows.
Objective
Hostage Rescue
Escort the hostage to extraction while defenders hold the line.
Co-op
Crystal Defense
Wave survival. Defend the crystal together against escalating enemy waves.
Co-op
Hero Line Wars
Dual-lane economy battle — buy creeps, build income, drain the enemy's lives.
Signature Mode
RPG
The heart of Lord of the Halo. Lock in a class, then fight a free-for-all to the top — no two fighters built the same.
Before the match begins, every fighter locks in one of eight RPG classes. There are no neutral loadouts here — your class is your identity, your arsenal and your win condition. A teleporting Witch plays nothing like a snowballing Vampire Necromancer or a parrying Souls Knight.
- Eight distinct classes
Each with its own stats, weapons, abilities and signature colour — see the full roster below.
- Class-aware kill feed
Every clash is called out by class, so you always know who beat whom — and with what.
- Snowball mechanics
Classes like the Vampire Necromancer grow with every kill — damage, speed and lifesteal stack as you dominate.
- Pure free-for-all
No teams, no mercy. First to the kill limit — or the highest count at the buzzer — is crowned Lord of the arena.
