So much love goes into this game from such a small team, and its really great. Every addition has been great too. Some things I don't like so much (can't fully name your gladiator, balancing patrons is a bit hard when they all hate you if you don't pick their match [seems artificial] ) but it is among my favourite games and deserves your time and money. PS-- Please implement a graveyard so I can look back on former gladiators of the past, and not have to track them in excel myself like the geek I am.

If you enjoy Mounted Blade, Kingdom Come Deliverance, or Chivalry for the hand to hand combat... then you'll love this game too. People saying this has no replay value, or that it was too easy... Didn't spend 5 minutes to read and understand the screen in front of them. There are multiple stories to choose from, with perks for completing them. There are also multiple difficulty levels, from stupid easy hack and slash to picking your strategy carefully. Oh and it loads extremely fast, which is actually pretty satisfying. This game has tons of potential, very impressive for a small team.

The sole title since the PS2 era's Shadow of Rome, a neglected classic unleashed over two decades ago, to profoundly quench my yearning for an authentic gladiatorial "sim". Truly superlative craftsmanship, Jordy! No other game is better suited to feature permadeath among its many virtues. To ever more illustrious triumphs within the arenas!

I have spent about 70 Hours on this game. I have had a blast with it. It offers a range of difficulty, from cheesy easy to insanity (Condemned). I love this game for what it is. The ragdoll effect are hilarious, and makes the game entertaining and different every match. I truly hope the Devs keep adding things! WE NEED ANIMAL FIGHTS! NAVAL BATTLES! Keep up the great work on this gem!
