Story of a Gladiator

Story of a Gladiator

Story of a Gladiator is a small arena beat ‘em-up game in which we try to avoid getting a bloody nose.

The story is told quite quickly: Our family and friends are killed by the Romans and we manage to escape so that we do not end up in slavery… or worse. Finally, we spend the day with fighting and drinking alcohol in the company of shady ladies - until one day we meet a famous gladiator who gives us some advice on how to become a great champion ourselves. And so our first fight of many begins in the arena…

The game is very fun and interesting, we definitely need more Gladiator games as there hasn’t been any good one’s in modern times, it’s very sad that such genre is not being looked into by developers and game studios. Ryse of Rome had gladiator mode, but it’s not like Gladiator Begins/Road to Colosseum. I am glad this game came out, and hopefully people show interest in this game, so we can get more of this genre.

As for the game

The game is very fun and actually very hard, my only issue with it is the lack of story and in depth customization, the game feels very limited in that aspect, it’s not even as good in terms of depth as sword and sandals to be honest. The graphics are amazing, the armour looks very nice, I just wish there was more depth to fight styles, weapon, character customization, story arc, training and maybe companions and such in fights. There is a lot the game can do, I played all the levels and have 3 stars in all of them, took me 9hrs total play time

Slice, Dice & Rice

Slice, Dice & Rice

Disclaimer: This game has no online support so keep that in mind when you look at its mixed review rating

Slice, Dice & Rice is 1on1 2D Fighting in it’s purest form.

On the surface, the one hit kill mechanic may seem arbitrary and make some characters feel unbalanced compared to others, but if you take the time to learn

a) the different functions of your 3 attack options (vertical, horizontal and heavy)

b) the parry button and your movement abilities

and most importantly

c) how these first two options flow, link and cancel into each other

I am a man of my word, it would appear the issues below have been ammended. I can recommend this game!

This is my first negative review on Steam. Hopefully not permanent as the basis of this game is great but is only let down by button response. And seeing it’s a game based on dodging, timing and parrying it doesn’t leave much hope.

It’s a fighting game similar to mortal kombat but you only have one hit to kill. Against friends it’s great as you can have a laugh at others misfortune but against the CPU you really notice the input issue. A mistimed dodge, parry or jump can be lethal so for it not to happen when you ask is a deal breaker.

Iron Snout

Iron Snout

Sticking to my 5 pros and 5 cons, this will be as unbias as possible.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PROS:

1. Very addicting

2. 2 maps for when one gets boring or dry. You can get in an intense street fight, or a chaotic battle in the forest.

3. Keeps count of every wolf killed. You can compare and compete with your friends.

4. Respectful developer and he engages with the community. This is one of the most important things.

5. Always being worked on. This game will have plenty of new addons in the future, and many things will change. This keeps the experience fresh and it keeps you busy.

Oh my god, this game is too perfect.

You’re a martial arts, Jedi back-flipping ninja-esque Chuck Norris badass pig. That sums it up pretty well. You fight waves of weapon-wielding-wolves, all out for your blood. Why? Who knows? Who cares? All you need to know is that only one can survive. And that’s you because you’re a ninja pig.

The game never gets boring, really. I’ve played 16 hours so far and I haven’t gotten bored. Iron Snout + Star Wars soundtrack = win. Not only that, it’s so easy to pick up. The art style is both cute and amazingly badass. Also, I can introduce my little bro to it with the Kid-Friendly setting. The developer needs a high-five and someone needs to shout them a coffee. Actually, I’ll do it. I love this game.

King of the Streets

King of the Streets

After 5 hours of play i very much like this game. unlocking characters is one of my favourite aspects of fighting games as it gives a lot to strive for and the addition of being able to see how to unlock things in the game is very helpful. Although playing through to the boss i encountered a bug where he killed me before he could preform a finisher which meant the round wouldn’t end and i couldn’t restart the match. other than that i am very much enjoying this game

Real player with 13.3 hrs in game

Old school fighting game with plenty of unlockable characters and stages. First time in a while I played a fighting game where you actually had to unlock the characters instead of buying a season pass. The graphics are pre rendered like the old Killer Instinct. So anyone should be able to run it. The main issue with the game is that controller support is buggy. Game was abandoned by the developer so whatever bugs are there will not be fixed. Can no longer recommend.

Mortal Kombat 11

Mortal Kombat 11

MK11 step aside, MKX goat. I played for 184 hours just to realize MKX is better, and MKX is way more affordable. If you want to try it, sure but it’s not worth it, maybe the graphic is good but the gameplay and mechanics are bad. Thank you for your time.

Real player with 184.2 hrs in game

first ill start with cons:

i don’t like how they changed kombo breaker, made the game feel slower, gave higher advantage to zoners, there are less combos and they added custom variations which can be fun but complicated for the new players.

visually i don’t like character design choices, some armors look like they’re made out of plastic, character faces are much less attractive, and every female character magically lost all the thickness since the previous games.

pros:

new gameplay mechanics, flawless blocking and counter attacking which demands more skill from the player, krushing blows, fatal blows, lot more skins, towers of time. MK11 is more complex compared to the previous games in the series which in my opinion is a good thing. aside from some character designs, visually game is beautiful and well optimized.

SAMURAI SHODOWN

This port is garbage…

Everyone will talk about the netcode, and how’s it’s not good and yeah that’s true, I mean, it’s not unplayable to be honest, but the lack of good netcode in 2021 is just pathetic… BUT that’s not the worst of it, the worst of it is how REALLY bad the port is.

So… first of all, it just doesn’t run very well, you’ll experience crashes and freezes here and there. Oh, you need to be always on-line to play, even if you just wanna play solo stuff, like the lackluster story mode.

Real player with 180.7 hrs in game

Gameplay: Fantastic if a slower paced fighter is what you’re looking for

Everything else: Horrible. I thought I knew what I was getting into since it’s well know the netcode is bad, but my expectations were truly shattered. I’m not gonna go into how badly SNK handled the release over different storefronts again as that is known well enough.

  • Game won’t even start without an internet connection, effectively making it useless when I want to bring it for an offline gathering on my laptop. This alone is unacceptable already. Once more pirates actually get a better service than paying customers.

Real player with 1.0 hrs in game

“Degenerate Souls” is typical Game Guru game - long loading times, default menu (look and music), same HUD.

Gameplay is exactly the same as other games and maybe even worse because of animations and lack of ambient sounds (well, we’re in forest and no bird chirping?)

You get killed pretty easily and it’s easy to avoid being killed, but it’s just more time consuming.

There is no zoom to aim remote enemies - and they can shoot you quite easily… (some of having instakilling weapons).

I don’t feel like there is much to say - it’s just working garbage.

Blades of Gory

Blades of Gory

I love this game! The polish and little details really give it a charm that makes you want to replay it over and over. The mechanics of the game itself are similar to fighting genre games that reward footsies/neutral play. You should also understand that this game is DIFFICULT. The bosses take different strategies to defeat and you have to think about how you’re going to approach it or you WILL die.

This is also a great game if you’re into speedrunning! It has a good run time for a speedrun and lots of interesting visuals for the viewer. Getting the mechanics of the fights down feels very rewarding in the context of a speedrun. There are some speedruns on youtube that you can check out if you’re interested.

Pretty fun little brawler. Best part of course is the pixel art, with detailed sprites and nice animations. Final boss is such a BS, but the journey to him is quick and fun. It’s not that hard, really, just don’t overthink it.
