KEY FEATURES:
- Sword fighting: Hold weapons directly in your hands, block enemy strikes with your shield or sword, throw your sword at the enemy, and cut their limbs and heads! The longer you play Gladius, the more you'll hone your skills.
- Bow and arrow: If swords are not your thing, you can still open your way in the arena with a bow. Use your arrows wisely as you have a limited number of them!
- Ten different enemies: Gladiators, Legionaries, Praetorians, Barbarians, Archers, Tigers, Lions, Skeletons, Mummies and Minotaurs.
- Four locomotion options: You can either teleport, sprint (dash), arm-swing, or use the trackpad movement.
- Energy system: allows you to teleport and to slow time for spectacular moves that will wow the crowd.
- Armory: Unlock new weapons, shields and helmets in the armory as you progress through the levels.
- Dynamic crowd: People in the stadium react to your actions, they root for you if you do spectacular moves, they get bored, and throw you food if you deserve it. Win the crowd, and you will win your freedom!
GAME MODES:
- The Games: Survive for 7 days in the glorious Colosseum fighting the most formidable enemies in a variety of themed stages (Egyptian Temple, Naval battle, Maze, …).

If I could give this game a Star rating, I'd give it 3 out of 5.
It's certainly not a bad game by any means, and especially for the price, you get a reasonable experience.
However, there are a few quibbles I have with it from various angles.
The animals' animation is super janky, and the enemies oftentimes Blade And Sorcery level stupid. Like, in some of the campaign levels they'll just stand there like an absolute stapler while you're shooting a ballista at them.
The physics are also super wonky, and I've encountered several collision-related bugs.
In addition, the weapons included in the game include some very, VERY anarchronistic weapons, if they're going for Roman-era gladiatorial combat. Poleaxes wouldn't be a thing until the late Middle Ages, and rapiers wouldn't be a thing till *the Renaissance*. Having rapiers in the game would be as anachronistic (assuming that this is roughly around the time of Augustus/early Empire) as having a US Army NGSW show up when the medieval period started. Longswords are similarly anachronistic by about a thousand years, and didn't exist in this time period because the Romans simply couldn't produce advanced spring steel blades that size with their level of technology.
We are just going to ignore all the fantasy elements in this because no and also because this is supposed to be the actual Rome we actually had.
Speaking of which, the whole gladiators-were-slaves thing the story has going on is a myth (with some asterisks). Most gladiators weren't actually slaves, most of them volunteered, much in the way we don't send prisoners to professional [insert sport here] teams in the modern day. They were the Michael Jordans of their day, not usually slaves.
The campaign is also stupid short. 7 missions is great, but this is the story mode and the 7th mission is grabbing an item. Anticlimactic, to say the least.
Also I don't like how most of the game is locked behind grinding in the same arena over and over again, with no crowd mechanics. It gets tiring and boring eventually. The entire experience I was able to get in about the same time as watching a movie.
That being said, if it's on sale, it can be decent for the price. Not amazing, but I would recommend it if it goes on sale again. You can do a LOT worse for VR-based melee combat games, but you can also do a LOT better (IE. Blade and Sorcery).
its fun but 99 percent of the time after i skip or watch the intro, the game just doesnt show on my vr, but it shows on my pc and captures my hand movement
Great slasher VR game, swordplay is well done and collisions are fairly accurate, the concept is great and honestly throw it in endless mode and you can get quite the workout!
This game doesnt work for Quest or Pico it seems... DONT BUY if using either.
fiya
yop, very impressive game indeed..
nice mechanics, good cinematic atmosphere, really nice sword fight, better than B&S hands down..
but still not very smooth - I'm also missing some flow in the fight - as they hit and bounce back - stay and keep defending, you..
all in all def. recommend..
I Dont do reviews but i feel i had to with this one. Hats off to the devs! I though it was fun at the start and then i unlocked the ball and chain, game changer. If you like carnage this is for you. Physics works very well. Movement is smooth. If your way to close your sword can get caught. but other than that. im gonna log some serious hours on this one.
