So the other day i dusted off the ol' xbox and started her up, scrolled through endless waves of shit and clicked on some random ad because it was screaming "FREE!". Found this lil gem tucked away which gave me about 20hrs of gameplay so far.
Anyways you are the owner of a single slave that you wish to make fight to the death for the glory of your house and of course to make money of of. You will of course be the one doing the fighting, similar to any other fighter game(tekken, mortal kombat, etc whatever), with the exception of weapons being used. Each slave may use a different form of fighting like say sword n board, 2h, or a polearm. There is also a level of customization, though small, in purchasing weapons, armor and various upgrades. As you level up through the ranks the bouts become more fierce with the crowds want for blood, eventually you will lose a fight, and when you do, if the crowd is pumped up enough, the fighter will perform a brutal execution, slaughtering your character and forever killing him(yes perma-death). The game seems quite balanced in various play styles whether you plan on being light of foot, or armored from head to toe. The Bosses are also brutally hard, slaughtering many of my gladiators in seconds.
For the downside, when i started up the multiplayer after a few quick matches, my first few matches were against Mexicans. No im serious, literally Mexicans, i chatted with the fellow who told me he was playing from Mexico and that he loved the game. Of course my ping however did not love it, and of course as luck would have it, i continued playing every Mexican in Central America for about 12 games straight. Eventually i played a guy from the east coast and found out the game had some issues with lag in multiplayer not associated to the distance of the two of us(from Maryland). The other downside to this game was that with it being free, they of course needed to make money some how, which came from microtransactions. You can buy gladiators, early access to gear, or room for more slaves.
In the end i would recommend the game to friends if atleast to entertain you for a bit, as it did me. If you do try it, let me know what you thought of it, as i enjoyed it. my score 7/10
So TL;DR
