Gladiator's Arena

This is not a game. This is some 8th grader's project, if that. Mouse support? Nope. Controller support? Nope. Windowed mode? Well, yes if you like 800x600 (approx) and having to reselect it every time you play. This is just awful. Steam is turning into the Apple App store, filled with more garbage than quality. 0/5 Here is a tip: if you're going to make a game this obviously terrible, make it $0.99 or people will absolutely take the time to refund it.

This is to easy. Stack defense, life steal, damage, and faster attack rate with 1 or 2 upgrades into movement speed then circle around everything. Eventually you get over 100% defense. At that point you can stand around and not take damage. It took about wave 22ish to get to the point that my healing and defense were both enough that I could take damage but heal it right away. I got up to wave 82 but accidentally hit "return to menu". There was no confirmation on it, ending my run. One of the achievements has been busted since July 2023. It took about 45 minutes to get all of the other achievements. There are 5 or 6 types of enemies. The waves only increase in number. The randomnes of the upgrades means its possible to not get a damage upgrade for a long time. I got 1 upgrade after about 30 waves.

Super rudimentary game, feels like a student project. Every round is the same 4 enemies. No real challenge, no meta progression, no interesting combos or synergies. There are lots of other games you can spend your $3 on.

impressive that this isn't even worth $3. boring and broken.

Simple, fun and a great price! Well balanced survivor type. I have spent more on coffee, and coffee cant be replayed... unless you are into that sort of thing. Plays great on Steam Deck too.

6/5. This game is great to get ready for another game that you want some basic/advanced mechanics to become muscle memory. Broke the entire game at 80 levels 1st try * The AI pushed me out of the arena completely but I was able to kill all of the enemies ~ Eventually I was able to stand still during the waves and not care about taking damage until the next wave for handfuls of waves.. It seems to have infinite amount of levels. *Crossbow player. The players APM in the sense of awareness will go up from playing this.
