Gore is prevalent in this game, and when you reach a high enough level, you can buy “Decapitator Weapons” that cut the heads off your opponent when you win a match. This is ok when it’s an evenly matched or just a little more experienced opponent, but on the killer gladiators this can cause you to lose. Something that’s annoying in this game is that just when your gladiator is starting to get the good hits in on the opponent, it goes to a cut-scene, stopping your character sometimes in mid-slash. If you can learn when to dodge and when to parry, well then you can be pretty invincible. Skill can sometimes make up for lack of good arms and armor. The game insults you when you lose, telling you to get better equipment so you can try again. There are something like sixty fights in Blood and Glory, some opponents are your level, some are above, and some are pretty much made to squash you. ![]() What will draw most people to play this game, besides the price tag (free) is the combat. The gladiators all spout Latin phrases, and I know I heard the one from Poe’s The Cask of Amontillado: Nemo Me Impune Lacessit “No one provokes me with impunity.” The others are all a mystery and aren’t always very clear. I would’ve liked to be able to have more control over the look of my character, and why are there no female gladiators? It doesn’t make much difference really, because the weapons and armor are well-detailed and you only really ever get to see the back of your character and the weapons mostly. There are Celtic-looking fighters and even a few that look at home in horror movies. The character models are detailed and varied. The parry can be tricky because you have to time it right, otherwise you get smacked for the damage anyway. For those not familiar, there are Dodge Left and Dodge Right buttons, a block button, and the ability to parry opponent’s swings. Combat may be familiar to those who’ve played Infinity Blade, it’s the same mechanics as that game.
