awesome game especially with all the additions, the only downside is no addition of multiplayer, would make the game a top 10 if they added it

If you like roguelike games and like gladiator and arena games this defintely is worth a shot the combat is not bad i have played far worse games great gear options from the store it makes you feel like you truely are building a commoner from ground up into a unstoppable killing machine.
only cons i have with the game the combat at times can be hard to hit certain parts of the oppents body and i was really hoping for like a ludious area where you start and have to train first. but thats really just me swinging for the fences I loved the game and will coutine to play it thank you for doing a great job .
Sorry for bad spelling and runon sentences lol

Great game and devs keep updating the game. 10/10 what you want to see from developers and with a fresh game play idea building mechanics ground up. If you you're a guy this game is for you... if you're a girl... this game is for you, because its fun as hell!! New update really improved the feel and movement.
If you like Mount & Blade this game is like doing the fights but you keep making money to improve equipment and blocking is more dynamic. Anyway love this game over the past... however long i've had it and keep coming back!

It's a good game overall. The combat's a bit weird so I play on controller but otherwise its basically flawless (so long as graphics are not your top concern)

A really fun kinda silly passion project from the developer. Worth every cent and fun to live the dream of strength and honor. Glory lies ahead for those who partake in this game.

bought the game and it exceeded my expectations everything you could want in a gladiator game.
backstories are awesome. after you get the game it becomes pretty relaxed. Until you finish all of them and unlock condemned omfg everything is against you low money no gear hoping to the gods a weapon falls in your lap you will be sweating every fight. im in love but want to scream into the computer screen trying to make it to week 16 in this last back story. 10 fucking stars outta 5

Just to start this off I would like to say that this is a great project with a very nice idea which initially drew me in but now the game moved in a much worse direction mechanics wise ( in my opinion )
While the game was still in early development the combat felt much better, swings actually went the way you intended, the enemies moved at an appropriate pace and were attacking in a visible yet challenging manner
That is not the case anymore as I booted this game up after a long break, enemies zoom to your location or even past you, insta hit you for massive damage with out any telegraphing, your hits feel like you are in a dream trying to punch. It is sad to see this state of the combat as all of the other content surrounding it is very fun ( traits, events and so on )
I cannot recommend this game in it's current state if you are looking for a fun, replayable and enjoyable combat experience
