About this product

Product Information

In the tradition of films like Gladiator and Spartacus comes Gladius, an action RPG taking place in the world of gladiatorial combat. As one of two principal characters, Ursula and Valens, players must train and lead a team of warriors to compete in the 20 coliseums and arenas found in four regions around the world. As a gladiator team trains and fights, warriors become more experienced and eventually develop new abilities.<br><br>Each battle is fought using a combination of steel, magic, and projectiles as players recruit from a pool of 16 distinct fighter classes, including Imperial Legionaries, Galdr witches, and javelin-throwing Peltasts. Over 400 pieces of equipment can be used in combat, and Gladius offers over 100 customizable characters as players win the certificates required to enter new regions through successful battles.<br><br>Ursula and Valens both feature separate storylines, each of which offers an estimated 36 hours of play. In addition to the story mode, which ultimately has players preventing a dark god's ascent to power, a number of exhibition battles can be fought against computer opponents with support for multiple players in the cooperative mode. Once the story mode is complete, players can revisit tournaments to build their characters' stats for use in multiplayer combat.

  • Blades, shields, and javelin - Oh My!?

    I owned this game years ago. Back in my middle school days and enjoyed this game. Eventhough I enjoyed it enough to get far in it, let's just say my tactical prowess was not what it is today. So looking forward to actually beating it this time around. I can't remember how it ended up no longer in my possession but that no longer matters bcuz today it is once again. =) It blended a lot of my favorite loves together. I was always a big fan of the medieval, gladiators and sword-fighting spiel. I loved storylines. And most of all absolutely cherished turn-based, role-playing, strategy games. So we got, check, check, and check. So you could see how a love forged in the fires of Mordor came to ignite. From what I remember the game starts off somewhat easy. It slowly but surely explains it's basic details and then puts you in positions to start compounding the many tips and tricks that it gave you. And then before long you're getting your butt kicked by monsters and spell casters saying, "where can I get one of those?!" Lol I remember really enjoying this game. And if you're looking to get into a quality strategy game that you may have missed out on and your taking it back to the classics, trust me, you're gonna want to have this in your collection. You'll thank me later. Gladius is calling your name.... "Are you not entertained?! Is this not why you are here?!"

  • Gladius

    Super-fun turn based strategy game (think chess) with different character types. Why this game hasn’t been ported into the newer systems I’ll never know.
