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!

This game intersects a lot of genres and gameplay mechanics that I dig. Single life roguelite gladiator game with Mount and Blade style combat? Pretty much tailor made for me. After twenty hours, I've learned how to pace myself, take easier, low risk fights, slowly improve my stats and equipment, pick the right perks to create a great build, chip away at whatever victory condition your poor hapless gladiator's backstory requires, and yet, once in a while, I'll still fly too close to the sun if the prize for a fight is tempting enough and meet my grisly end for the sake of public entertainment. Live or die, intra-life progression could be fleshed out a bit, you can leave some equipment for your next gladiator to inherit if you bite the dust, and some tournament and event rewards leave you with a percentage bump of money you pass down to your next character, but that's about it. There is no Hades level narrative thread that keeps you engaged life after life, this very much a 'make your own fun' style of roguelite, which, in a game about several disparate and often short lived gladiators, I'm fine with. The joy comes from the combat and the between fight crunchy, number filled health, stat, and equipment management, and the risk vs. reward aspect embedded throughout. I do like the updates the game has gotten since I first purchased it, and look forward to full release. Even in early access I find myself finishing a run, whether through victory or death, and at a loss of what else to do, just start another run.

No campaign, graphics are meh, and you basically do the same thing over and over again. Perfect recipe to give it a try, and quickly move on to something else. And then I load another match. And another. And another. Not sure what sort of Voodoo is involved, but instead of getting bored I just keep playing.

This game is what Sword and Sandals was to me in my head when I was a kid. Totally recommended. Permadeath makes every battle intense and Lionslayer difficulty is where it's at.
