You physically swing swords and block strikes in an arena, feeling the weight of each blow against historical enemies.

What players say

Players are split on the game's quality. Some enjoy the gladiator fantasy, chariot racing, and mod support, while others report janky physics, collision bugs, and floaty sword swings. The enemy AI is often described as stupid. A few note that development on the Steam version has stopped.
