Versus: Battle of the Gladiator

A terrible tutorial hides a surprisingly complex combat system. While this game suffers from latency issues and some balancing issues the foundation is solid. Combat flows but is based on MMORPG stunlocky combat. This can either be a feature or a flaw depending on the person. Recommended because there are no other games like this and shows promise.

Played a lot of the Demo for a few hours and then decided to buy it and then get a refund right afterwards due to the BS meta of single sword/Dual sword where you have a 5 combo that takes away half health no matter what to an infinite combo where you literally can't do anything about it. Only people who play this often is the ones from the very start who are level 30 (max). As soon as you go into a game I bet a level 30 will be waiting for you to abuse the ♥♥♥♥ out of you with their OP gear towards a low level. Plus the netcode is utter ♥♥♥♥, dodging doesnt do anything since there is no I-Frames, plus you will rubberband back to your original position if youre stuck at anytime of getting away. Warhammer is seriously underwhelming where it only has a 2 hit combo for the damn skills while every other weapon has 3. Only viable skill is the Q but people with single sword can easily block it even during their attack phase from what I experienced. Greatsword is the only heavy weapon that can actually do something against people since it actually has 3 combo skills but even then half the time the keys dont even register and youre just left standing there with a thumb up your butt when you have full stamina. Every other weapon in the game can do an infinite combo or a bs combo where you hit 5 times and either take away half of the health or kill the person entirely. Also the game itself is super buggy and combat for heavy weapons is no where near smooth at all and feels very locked down like Monster Hunter while other weapons move in a fashion similar to Blad Symphony able to do whatever it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wants. Game is not fun getting your ass handed to you by max level people using gear that does insane and bs damage. But hey if youre into getting utterly raped then go ahead you sick ♥♥♥♥.

This game is not pay to win, at all. Altough, it has an high learning curve and - in many cases - veteran players will have a better equipment. The developers looks really dedicated to their game and the player base, even if small, is really good. Plus, it's free. Try it yourself. :-)

I bought this game and I hate to say it but....it was my first requested refund. The controls were clunky, the game felt dated.....reminded me of a "Bargain Bin" PS3 game. It wasn't worth my $15, and it isn't worth my time to say anymore than avoid this one.....

Low population, for the first hour I thought I was the only one playing. Then I realized everyone is on the EU servers. And it was still low. The combat controls are fluid, yet stiff. I can't really place my finger on it. I don't know if it's the smaller-than-character hitboxes or weird netcoding. But some clean hits just don't connect sometimes. More likely to be the small hitboxes. I might just be bad and not get how it works. Then again grappling can connect feet away from characters, so there's that. It's a fun game nontheless. But it needs to be worked on for a better experience. All in all I can't reccomend. It just feels incomplete and untuned in all aspects.

This game is really really really good and exactly the kind of game i looked for ... but theres 2 big problems.. 1. Theres alot of buggs 2. theres very few that play the game I hope we get some more players in the game soon and thanks for an awesome game

I MISS THIS GAME

This game is as dead as the people killed in the trailer... dead dead dead and dead.
