Gladiator: Blades of Fury

Positive: - I laughed really hard at the character models. - They tried to make a game. Negative: It's not worth $10. It's unplayable and really doesn't make much sense. This is a prototype. A college project left unfinished. I wasted my time so you didn't have to!

Honestly this game COULD have been alright if they would have just spent a bit more time on it. BUT the cameras are terrible, your fighter float like they are in spaces, turning around is like harder than stone and a few too many glitches. So all in all this is a NO GO!

I wanted to like this game, because it looked like an indy medieval fighting game. The environments are decent, I like the music, and there are enough characters to play. HOWEVER, it is currently unplayable. The character weapons are floating outside their hands, the camera has no lock-on feature, the controls are janky, and all character movements/actions are clunky. The hitboxes make no sense. After 12 minutes, I was ready to write a review saying this game isn't ready yet and needs more development time. I then checked and saw this is an actual release, not Early Access. This game isn't ready. I won't say it's terrible, because I still want to like it, but it is completely unplayable. I'd almost recommend trying it, if only to see how unfinished it is. I wish the developers well, and hopefully next time they'll be allowed more development time.

My full critique: https://youtu.be/MtrYrNMpdeU While YFT have provided a decent User Interface, this time around, the game itself is a broken mess. The Souls-like combat is poorly implemented, level design is a mess and the character models clash like crazy as far as artistic cohesion goes. I feel like this is one of their few games that they tried with but at this point, I really don't care after playing some of their terrible car games. Bad game enthusiasts may enjoy this game, especially for its horrible characters. You can just take one look at my video to see how messed up some of these faces are but the rest of this isn't really worth £7. If it goes down to less than £5, then I'd maybe recommend it as a bit of a laugh.
