How it feels

A brutal retro-style 2D action game with physics-based sword swinging and waves of gladiator enemies.

What players say

Players enjoy the short arena fights with physics-based sword swinging and a retro look. The soundtrack gets praise, bosses are a good challenge, and runs last about 20 minutes. Players note there is no multiplayer and that development stopped early, but most find it worth the low price.
