Description

Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance is a third-person action game taking place during the twilight of the Roman Empire. Inspired by classic films like Spartacus and the fantasy-oriented Jason and the Argonauts, the storyline focuses on a slave who takes it upon himself to rise up against his supernatural captors. Instead of fighting human Roman soldiers, players will engage in mortal combat against armored skeletons and other monsters in the deadly gladiatorial arenas. A number of characters are available to choose from, each possessing distinct fighting styles from their country of origin. Characters are also skilled in various weaponry, including spears, tridents, and swords, among others. The main Campaign mode features a series of missions consisting of multiple objectives. A character's skills will gradually improve over time and additional moves can be acquired once players become more experienced fighters.
