Total:
An excellent game in which we have to go from Rome to the Brits - in search of revenge for the murdered family. And be a pawn in the game of the Gods!
Great graphics - looks great even on the lowest settings. The developers also took care of optimization - thanks to which you will find smooth gameplay without freezes.
Linear levels - filled with thoughtful environment, which corresponds to the era, as well as the situation taking place around the player. Fully voiced dialogues perfectly convey the emotions of the characters, making you sympathize with them.
In addition to the main plot, the players have access to the Arena, where they can, together with a friend, participate in amusing battles for the public and the Emperor. Victories that bring gold - which you can use to unlock more bloody executions for the main game, or purchase equipment for your gladiator.
A pleasant moment is that all 4 additions are already sewn into the game - allowing you to try on new looks for gladiator fights.
