Other than the randomness that is the afflictions you get when your team is hit by a critical this is a lot of fun

TLDR; Bloodgrounds is fun, but I'm exactly the kind of gamer it was made for and the pacing even feels wrong to me. The premise is a relatively old one and hardly relevant to the gameplay for me thus far so I won't go too deep into it. You get a team of gladiators with different classes, fight them, during fighting they can die or receive traumas which means they have to skip a week resting in the infirmary or deal with pretty harsh debuffs. You can make basically any class work, but your gladiators have innate traits that make them more/less effective at their class and there's no way to change their class so you have to let people with great abilities walk or find a way to carve out a niche for them with equipment. I haven't played on anything but the hardest difficulty and even then the arena battles are mostly pretty easy especially if you're not trying to do audience favor quests, which are little conditions you can satisfy in a fight to get rewards. I should say, easy if you are patient and play conservatively. The AI is pretty good, but enemies will pursue lanes of attack consistently even if it means getting drawn into a killbox. Generally the only times I've been caught slipping have been when I've tried to speed battles up and try doing things differently, this along with some of the individual challenges certain fights receive can lead to bad things happening for you, which is good because it makes the game challenging. All your equipment shows up on character models which is a really nice touch and makes it worth getting new stuff even when the stat upgrades are marginal. You have a base to upgrade, each building offers a buff or new/modified aspect of gameplay. My only real gripe is the game can just take a lot of grinding. I've never been specifically level capped by anything but bosses are pretty difficult and you want your best with you. You have a lot of things for you fighters to do between expeditions (send them off on a % chance based on applicable talents to get rewards/buffs), so if you want your best to get these buffs they have to skip a fight, you'll be using others, they'll get traumas so they'll have to skip the following week etc. So you're fighting a lot of battles just to tread water until your main team is healthy and available but your buildings of certain tiers kind of max out after 2-3 battles once you've reached a new tier. It's still fun but some of these tune up battles can feel very low stakes and you just want to get to the bosses to progress. As said they are pretty difficult and if you bring a weak team you'll probably get mowed down (you could very easily lose with a strong team). All in all I really recommend but I don't know what cohort of gamers have the patience to see it through to the end, maybe these things are not as big of a deal on the lower difficulties but then the regular battles will probably be far too easy.

nice one!

I really like this game . No stupid story to skip through . Great theme . Would love to see some steam deck support : the controls are clunky on deck .

Juegazo de las mejores compras q hice, valio cada maldito sentavo las 85 horas q jugue las disfrute!.

I've really been enjoying the game so far. Between equipment, character traits, classes, and abilities, there's a lot of fun variation in team creation. The arenas provide different challenges that force you to use the environment in interesting ways.
