Hero Battle: Fantasy Arena is a top-down horde survival roguelite set in a dark fantasy dungeon. You pick a hero, hold back the monster horde, and try to last long enough to face the Dark Wizard. It is free in the browser, so you can play it unblocked at school or work with nothing to download.

What Hero Battle is about

You start as a single survivor against an endless enemy horde and a lineup of bosses. The loop is to stay alive, scoop up items and upgrades from the floor, and stretch your survival timer as far as you can. Combat runs at two ranges, with swords and axes for close fights and bows and crossbows for picking enemies off from a distance.

How to control your hero

Keyboard and mouse handle everything, so a run starts the moment you press play.

Choosing from eleven heroes

There are eleven heroes to pick from, each with its own feel. Every hero has four to six unique skills, and those skills unlock over time during a run rather than through character level.
