Is I, Gladiator worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Action players who want arena battles against several enemies at once
- Gladiator-themed RPG fans who want a story campaign with unlockable equipment
- Players who enjoy using traps and environmental objects during combat
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a quiet or exploration-led experience may bounce off the constant arena fighting and frequent enemy groups.
- Players who dislike escalating combat challenges may hit a wall as tournaments become harder across the campaign.
- Players looking for a nonviolent game will not fit the emphasis on dismemberment, burning, and other graphic attacks.
Our take on I, Gladiator
The bounce point arrives when fights combine several enemy types, arena hazards, and lions at once. Players who have not learned to exploit weaknesses or position opponents around environmental objects may hit the wall before the later tournaments.
What is I, Gladiator?
I, Gladiator follows Rufus, an arena champion caught in a conflict between two Roman gods.
Players fight through 80 levels across different locations and increasingly difficult tournaments, facing groups of enemies with distinct combat styles, lions, and traps. Combat includes punches, kicks, stuns, impalements, dismemberment, weapons, power strikes, and combo attacks. Arena objects such as fire pits and traps can affect battles. More than 100 weapons and armor pieces can be unlocked, while the Roman crowd can provide additional income. The game offers about 20 hours of gameplay, supports gamepad, mouse, and keyboard controls, and includes cross-platform multiplayer and leaderboards.
