About this game
Champions of Chaxia is a text-based adventure game. Simple, gamebook-style battle and inventory management are combined with a branching story. Atmosphere and dialogue are important aspects. You will try to survive as best you can as a gladiator in Chaxia, a mighty empire feared across the world for its cruelty and ambition. Use cunning and preparation to overcome a string of opponents. Between battles, navigate the streets and alleys of the shantytown where you're allowed to roam. Make friendships or abandon allies, break promises or act nobly in order to finally become a champion of Chaxia.

Most locations can be revisited and fast travel is available through a map. There are just four stats parameters to consider: hit points, strength, armor and fighting prowess. That's it. In addition, the protagonist keeps an amount of gold and some items, including weapons. The fighting system is turn-based, like everything else in the game. Despite using dice rolls in the style of old gamebooks, all battles are largely scripted, offering room for strategic decision-making. A session uses just one save slot, meaning permadeath in theory. In practice, this is circumvented through an in-world mechanism that is akin to the bonfires of the Souls…
