I do not understand how this game has a positive rating. Waste of money.
Greath potential love the idee characters look horible and game laggs semi aloth but hey what you expect of early access hope they add archievements to the game wil make it even more interesting whit more funding and add mods to the mix this game could blow up to be very big
Game is Fundamentally Broken, Error when choosing name, error when purchasing items, the only thing that actually works is the combat which still seems janky. has massive potential but a broken game.
I have only played 2 hrs until now, but this game has huge potential. Not much more to say. Obviously it needs a bit polishing here and there, but it feels pretty nice. I am looking forward to the upcoming content mentioned in the Road Map. :)
TL;DR an absolute blast for under $20. An indie game punching waaaay above it's weight. The perfect game to scratch that gladiator itch with the new movies/shows dropping. There's no game like it that I've seen. ROAL is a whole new type of game for me. Arena-based combat, really fun grind, and looks pretty sick graphically for an indie game! I love the concept of losing a character to permadeath if you lose a fight... it makes the stakes way higher than most fighting games I've played, and introduces a whole new level of morality... At the end of a battle, if you beat the opponent, you can either kill them (killing their character for good) or show mercy and let them live to fight another day. It's pretty wild and definitely a novel dynamic to me. I beat a level 17 yesterday, and accidentally killed(user error) them, and I felt guilty about it all night lol. The FFA mode is pure chaotic battle at its finest. Reminded me of playing chivalry but in 3rd person. The early grind is gnarly, but the payoff is so worth it. Stick to it. Play the tutorials and some practice rounds. Then get out there and earn it. Things I was pleasantly surprised by for an indie: DLSS, FSR, 240fps cap, controller support (ignore steam's tag, it was made to be played on controller). Really sick visuals built on UE5. Not a lot of the typical indie jank. I've played AAA titles with way more bugs and issues. So far pretty damn smooth experience. I look forward to seeing where this indie team takes this game. SUPPORT INDIE DEVS!!! I will see y'all in the arena ;)
Good game with lots of potentials.
Really enjoying it. Takes some time to get the hang of the combat (feels a little stiff at first), but the more you play and get the hang of it the more you start to appreciate it. It's got a lot of unique ideas that already feel well implemented even though it just began early access. It's absolutely worth checking out and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it evolve!
Very badass game even in early release of course it doesnt run perfectly yet, but so far the game is very promising so many years of no true gladiator arena games with solid character progression, this is gonna be a legendary game for sure!
Игра хорошая.Давно ждал что то похожее.Хотелось бы больше возможностей с гладиаторами.Надеюсь не закинут проект
