Excel Is Much More Interesting As a Playable RPG

Excel is the domain of accountants and business types and it’s not known for being terribly exciting, but that’s about to change. Accountant Cary Walkin built a playable RPG inside Excel. It’s called Arena.Xlsm and you can download it right here for use on Excel 2007 and 2010 on PC only. The game includes:

Random enemies: Over 2000 possible enemies with different AI abilities.
Random items: 39 item modifiers result in over 1000 possible item combinations and attributes.
An interesting story with 4 different endings depending on how the player has played the game.
8 boss encounters, each with their own tactics.
4 pre-programmed arenas followed by procedurally generated arenas. Each play-through has its own challenges.
31 Spells. There are many different strategies for success.
15 Unique items. Unique items have special properties and can only drop from specific enemies.
36 Achievements.
And here you thought accountants were too serious for games.
