Our take on Gladius | Gladiator VR Sword fighting
The game replaces conventional weapon buttons with physical VR handling: players block, throw, and strike using weapons held in their hands. Its structure also combines staged gladiator battles with leaderboard challenges, customizable training, and community-made content.
What is Gladius | Gladiator VR Sword fighting?
Gladius is a virtual reality sword-fighting game set in ancient Rome.
Players choose weapons, train against different enemies, and fight for freedom in gladiatorial battles. Combat allows direct weapon handling, shield or sword blocks, thrown swords, and strikes against limbs and heads. A bow offers another combat option, with a limited number of arrows. The game includes 10 enemy types and four locomotion options: teleportation, sprinting, arm-swing movement, and trackpad movement. The Games mode covers seven days in the Colosseum across themed stages. Arena mode has five leaderboard challenges. Training is a customizable sandbox where players select weapons, enemies, and game duration, then fight solo or in teams with other NPCs. Community mods add player-created weapons, locations, and arenas.
