The life expectancy of Colosseum gladiators was low. In this game, you will understand why: the slightest mistake in combat will cut short a life that is already far from happy.

It took me a few hours to really understand the game, but the more I played, the more I enjoyed it. There are a lot of systems at first, but once things start to click, experimenting with different builds and preparing for each fight becomes really satisfying. It’s not a game for mindless fun, but if you enjoy learning mechanics and improving over time, there’s a lot to like here.

New update is a disaster. The devs were far from optimizing the previous version (which was a straight-forward rogue-like with a pretty cool combat mechanic) and decided "hey how about we turn this into a whole different game"? I really like the core idea of this game but I am afraid it will never reach 1.0. Ps.: you kinda have to guess what each skill does, game does a terrible job with information.
