I rented Gladius by chance the first time I played it. The day I had to return it, I went and bought it.Gladius is first and foremost a strategy game, and the way it is put together — every type of fighter can best another type (sort of Rock Paper Scissors) — makes it challenging. The graphics, the settings, and the player depth are all wonderful. There is a great number of types of fighters, all of whose appearances and skills are customizeable. The game is very addictive, and most aspects of the game deserve thumbs up. Great game all-around.I would have liked to have seen more animation cut-scenes with more action (the character poses were always the same) and less text — not that I’m against reading, it just takes away from the game.I do suggest that if you purchase Gladius, you also get the strategy guide… unless this is only game you own. It will take quite a while to complete even with the strategy guide. Also, the strategy guide may clue you in on things you might have otherwise missed.

Gladius is a turn-based tactical strategy game. That is, your gladiators and your enemies each take turns moving and attacking in a grid-based arena. Gladius is very deep and can be complex if one does not take the time to learn how to really play it. I had this game for a month before I really discovered how great a game this is. I would reccomend the strategy guide as well, to help you spend your gladiator’s earned Skill Points more effectively.There is so much customization and character development – it is great! The gold you earn from battles is spent on better Weapons, Shields, Armor, Helmets, and Accessories. The graphics are very good, and the "paper doll" representation of your character looks great as you try on all the different equipment. Just like in Japanese RPG’s, your character stats change colors, red or green, to indicate if the equipment will help or hinder your chance of success in the arena. You can also customize the color of your character’s hair, skin color, armor, and clothes. They also have four different styles of outfits you can choose from for each character – you can make all your gladiators the same color (i.e. team colors) or just make them all individually completely different. It’s really cool.As you earn more Experience, your Level or stats goes up – Hit Points(HP), Defense(DEF), Power(PWR), Damage(DAM), Accuracy(ACC), Initiative(INI), Constitution(CON), and Move Rate(MOV). As these abilities go up, the better your gladiator will p.

I’ve had more trouble pulling myself away from this game than anything since Gauntlet Dark Legacy. It is really more of an RPG and a strategy game than a fighting game. You lead a gladiator school in a long series of battles throughout 4 different lands. The fascination comes from the endless possible combinations of gladiator types, weapon types, different skills and moves, and other factors such as terrain and strengths/weaknesses. One of the many great things about this game is that it’s good for a lot more hours of play than other games. Before starting this I was in the waning interest of a 4th complete run-through of Dungeons & Dragons Heroes, a good game that is way too short. I’ve spent more time on Gladius than in my 4 times through D&D, and I’m still only a little over halfway through!I thought it was fun that the lead character’s voice was done by Michael Rosenbaum, who plays Lex Luthor on the Smallville TV show. I didn’t recognize any other voices.There are a few minor flaws with Gladius. I’ll just summarize them, although none has decreased my enjoyment of the game very much. The comments from the characters during battles are limited to a small number of phrases such as “For the Glory of the School!” Those same comments are repeated over and over, which does get annoying. Fortunately there is an option that lets you turn off the voices. I thought the graphics were pretty good, but there are some flaws, such as the very wooden and fake facial expressi.
