The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A relentless, top-down arena brawler where each parry and dodge carries the weight of ancient Rome and every boss demands you to learn through death.

What players say
Players are split on GLADIUM: many love its weighty combat and arcade feel, but criticism focuses on imprecise hitboxes, a grind-heavy progression where losing a boss forces replaying earlier content, and the lack of multiplayer. The game is described as extremely difficult and repetitive, yet addictive for those who enjoy the challenge.
