| 2024-05-30 |  | | Game is awesome. But once again, business model ruins it. I did all the free part, was on to pay for full game but it's pay to win... You receive gears and techniques unavailable in classic shop. I really don't like this. I just want to pay for my game, I don't want to pay for in-game content. Paying for in-game content in solo game is so frustrating. Please make a bundle to only remove ads. |
| 2024-01-21 |  | | You can miss a 99% attack chance 4 times in a row, and enemies can revive on a 4% chance 4 times in a row. Yes, this really happened and it's common. Despite chances being attached to attacks and events and those chances being influenced by skills, they are entirely random and there is no functional way to increase or decrease their chance, despite what the game tells you. |
| 2023-08-12 |  | | After I beated the second tournament, game blocked. When I was entering in the game to play with my character there would play only "You just won the tournament" and I couldn't do anything. Then I deleted that character and made a new one. And after I won again the second tournament, the story repeats. What should I do about it? Game is cool, but that situation is frustrating. |
| 2023-07-20 |  | | The original is obviously dated and has its flaws but is a masterpiece in the way it allows you to combine thought and strategy to overcome hard arena challenges. This version however is different, it's severely limited in what you can do to strategize around different foes and opponents in the beginning and comes down mainly to RNG, you will either hit and be successful or you'll miss and block and won't be. The removed ability to switch between ranged and mellee weapons in a duel is absurd |
| 2022-10-07 |  | | The game is good, a nice remake of the original game, however, there are a few issues. Animations are sometimes incorrect, which is a smaller issue. Two bigger ones, however, are the camera and the "demo" of the game: during a fight, if you move far away from your enemy, you have to wait for the camera to SLOWLY move towards you, which is a bit annoying. The other issue is, the game says you can go up to the 3rd tournament like in the original PC version, but after you win the 2nd, demo:s over. |
| 2022-08-19 |  | | I love the game, but I'm still getting ads even after buying the full game. Like not even the optional ads when you want money or potions, after some battles it gives me ads. I reinstalled the game after buying, same thing. This is annoying enough for me to give it 2 stars, even though the nostalgic gameplay is easily worth 5. |
| 2022-06-13 |  | | Absolutely fantastic game to revisit and replay! Extremely nostalgic and plenty of quality of life improvments! For people having a hard time, try a pure Charisma build, kinda based off chance (1/5 to damage) but end game dealing 2K damage that can't be resisted is broken as all hell, with easy money for the best armor. Still funny to scream people to death though! |
| 2022-05-23 |  | | Not sure if anyone who's rated this saying "the grind between tournaments", but if you played the full version on a dodgy website back in 2007, having to leave the tab open for 2 weeks to complete it clearly don't see the fun in this game. I'm 21 and now flash is non existent it's essentially not possible to do this anymore. Love the SAS3 style graphics and style, if anything it makes the game more enjoyable. Being able to play either easier or harder games to your liking is a nice touch too. |
| 2021-09-24 |  | | The ability to respec would be great and truly shouldn't be hard to implement. It has some spelling errors in some of the text, the screen after finishing a tourney usually goes by too fast for you to read everything. There have also been some funny but still buggy instances I've encountered at least 3 times where you win a fight, the enemy begins to fall, and then gets up and celebrates like they won. Needs a little TLC and a respec addition for a 5*, but it's the nostalgia I still remember |
| 2021-03-30 |  | | It's great gladiatorial fun. I enjoy it. Though, there are a couple of bugs. Sometimes, when a character dies, it will play its win animation, and near the end game, there will be a certain point in the tournaments after leveling up that you can just bypass all armour, and hit all attacks with 100% accuracy, giving you an unwarranted landslide victory. |
