Great game for true enthusiasts! Having a blast in solo1 found this helpful
It seems like this game's development has been discontinued. Though I'm not sure. The combat in this is meh. The mechanics aren't thoroughly explained but you can figure a lot out by just playing it I guess. Very boring and repetitive. You seem to only fight gladiators that you hire as in your opponent is people in your "ludus." Though to be fair that may change as you get your first arena. I just don't know as the game doesn't explain it well and its a boring long grind to get enough fame to get one. You start out in some roman camp. The technology for research is a joke as most research is another gladiator type that takes only one turn to learn and research. Animal fights are not a thing. Each day you have three time slots to make matches. You always make a main fight match with your created gladiator. In the other two time slots you can select exhibition in one and put together another fight. For the third time slot, you have animal fights, chariot races or a theatre performance that Im not sure if it is implemented. Animal fights and chariot races are not. It has a lot of potential but It doesn't seem to be being worked on and I think I was expecting somethin…1 found this helpful
absolutely horrible mouse cursor kept disappearing then the over the shoulder pov is terrible cant even hit anything in training putting in for refund
Nope. Can't even get to training fight. Just keeps cycling me through me through menus. Refund and forget.
still a little buggy, but its to be expected with early access. great set up and a whole lot of fun. three things i would suggest to developers 1- i dont like how you loose prestige when you spare another gladiator, they cost more than you typically make off of one day and it is nearly impossible to get both prestige and money at the same time. as well as having to kill your own gladiators 2- why do you spawn in some random area every time you start, and have to run a country mile to the arena. youd figure the gladiators would be near the arena 3- there should be a stall where i can sell my extra loot that is taking up space and weighing me down instead of just dropping them somewhere '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' hey, been a minute since i wrote this review. i am really looking forward to the full/completed version of this game. its off to a great start and i think it could be one of the greats if its brought to its fruition. i have not seen any motion in a while and figured let you know what i think of the game…
wish they gave a more understanding how everything works like the concept but they def got alot of work to do i hope they come out with full game soon so that 20 i payed for it will be worth it
