TIPS

  • Too slow for you? Increase the Game Speed by dragging the slider in the Main Menu!
  • Beat 9 enemies to win the tournament. 3 losses means game over!
  • Hover over skills to see their effect (tap when playing on mobile)
  • Can't beat an enemy? They have access to the same skills as you. So check out their skill cycle and try out their build in another run!

DESCRIPTION

Welcome to the Colloseum! Here the mightiest warriors battle it out in gladiatorial combat.

Gladiators automatically fight each other.

They loop through their skills, until there is only one man left standing.

After every match, you get to choose a new skill and place it in your skill loop.

Win 9 rounds to emerge victorious!

KNOWN BUGS/ISSUES

  • After winning 9 rounds, the game sometimes freezes instead of showing the You Won popup.
  • There are certain matchups (when using a lot of Block-based skills) that can lead to a stalemate, where neither side can damage each other. Unfortunately, you'll have to restart your run if this happens.

Got to round eleven on swift strike, +2 buff, triple strike, then another swift strike! then the game crashed. but still, very fun to figure out what order to drop the new skills in! The twist that you can’t rearrange them is really interesting.

Swift Strike is definitely a very strong ability, especially when you manage to get multiple of them!

Sorry about the crash, a last-minute bug fix to another part of the game seems to have caused the You Won popup to not appear sometimes when the player reaches 9 wins. I hope it didn't affect your enjoyment too much, congrats on beating the game!

Did you manage to beat the game? Please to share your winning combo's with us :)
