Arena of Faith

Overview

Arena of Faith, or AoF for short, is a free-to-play 5v5 MOBA that runs on both mobile and PC. It’s built in Unreal Engine 4 and plays out a lot like what you'd expect from the MOBA genre like lanes, towers, jungle, teamfights, but with some added optional feautures thanks to Web3 integrations. The game doesn’t push blockchain stuff front and center, but players who want to dig into it can trade NFT-based heroes and skins, earn rewards from ranked games, and even set up their own tournaments. At its core, though, it’s a fairly straightforward MOBA experience that tries to stay competitive across platforms.

AoF is designed for global matchmaking, meaning there's no regional lock. Players from different regions and devices—whether PC or mobile, can team up or face off without restrictions. That opens up the player base and makes queue times shorter, especially if the game keeps growing.

Gameplay and Features

If you've played a MOBA before, you’ll pick up AoF pretty quickly. It follows the standard 5v5 format with three lanes, towers to destroy, a jungle to control, and a core objective to win the match. Each player strategically picks one hero, and like most games in the genre, they fall into roles like Mage, Tank, Marksman, Support, and Assassin. Matches usually last anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes depending on how balanced the teams are.

What’s interesting is how the hero roster is built. Each hero has a passive and three abilities, including an ultimate, with many of them designed around their origin inspirations. There’s a decent mix of skillshots, crowd control, and burst damage options, and the balance seems to be something the devs are constantly adjusting based on patch updates. It’s also worth noting that some heroes are more accessible to free-to-play players, while others might require unlocking through grind or purchase.

There are several game modes outside the main 5v5 ranked format. There’s an “Arena Battle” mode, which is more focused on quick teamfights, and there are custom matches where players can organize their own games or community events. Cup matches and tournaments also rotate in occasionally, and the game includes tools that let you set up brackets, prize pools, and even livestream matches if you want to run your own grassroots tournaments.

One of the stronger points of AoF is how well it runs across platforms. Mobile players and PC players share the same servers, so crossplay is fully functional. The game looks clean for a MOBA, with smooth animations and decent UI whether you’re tapping on a screen or clicking with a mouse. It doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it plays smoothly and doesn’t get in its own way.

NFTs and Blockchain

Arena of Faith runs on the BNB Chain, adding optional Web3 features for players who want to dive deeper into asset ownership and earning. The core gameplay remains fully accessible without connecting a wallet, as you can enjoy ranked matches, unlock heroes, and complete quests just like any other MOBA. However, players who connect a wallet can interact with NFT heroes and skins, which can be owned, traded, or rented. These NFTs don’t give combat advantages, but they unlock added perks like access to special events, higher Faith Gold limits, or eligibility for community tournaments and lending systems.

The game uses a dual economy built around Faith Gold (off-chain) and a planned on-chain token. Faith Gold is earned through daily logins, matches, and seasonal quests, and it can be used to unlock heroes or enter tournaments. NFT owners can also lend their assets or join Web3-exclusive competitions with real rewards. With its built-in tournament tool, referral incentives, and upcoming token features, AoF gives Web3 players room to earn and participate in the ecosystem, while still keeping the base game friendly for casual or traditional gamers.

How to Get Started

Getting into Arena of Faith is easy. Just download the game on whichever device you prefer, it's available on PC and mobile (iOS and Android). The gameplay will feel familiar if you’ve played titles like League of Legends: Wild Rift or Mobile Legends, with fast-paced 5v5 battles and hero-based mechanics.

You don’t need a crypto wallet to play. Just hop in, start queuing matches, and unlock heroes as you go. But if you're curious, you can later explore the Web3 side, like owning NFT heroes, earning extra rewards, or joining player-hosted tournaments. It’s entirely optional, so you can play casually or dig deeper if you want more out of it.
