Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want combat to rely on careful pacing rather than combos and repeated attacks may find the kill-driven progression a poor fit.
- Players who prefer restrained combat may bounce off the gory finishers and blood-based power system.
- Players looking for a climbing or action-puzzle adventure will not find those activities in this combat-focused game.
Our take on Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance
Players who want to avoid graphic combat may hit a wall when stunned enemies become targets for gory finishing moves. The progression system also ties new abilities to kills, so players who prefer advancement detached from combat may stall at that point.
What is Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance?
Set in 106 AD, the game follows a warrior slave fighting to restore the Roman Empire under Emperor Arruntius.
The adventure moves from the streets of Rome to Elysium. Combat pits the gladiator against varied opponents, including guards and mythical creatures, with weapons described as authentic. Fighting supports multiple opponents, while kills grant experience and new abilities. Stunned enemies can be finished with special attacks, and combo attacks raise a Blood Meter according to the spectacle of each kill. When the meter is full, the player can increase strength, raise the dead to fight alongside the gladiator, or unleash elemental forces.
