Gladiator: Sword Of Vengeance

Throwback Entertainment have announced that they will be bringing old PS2 and Original Xbox battler Gladiator: Sword Of Vengeance to Xbox One sometime this summer.


When gamers have finished being overcome with waves of indifference at the news of this release, they can assume the roll of ancient Roman Gladiator Thrax and wreak combo based havoc on your foes in order to spread the glory of Rome.

The game will apparently include:-

An advanced combat system that allows a huge variety of gladiatorial moves and multiple opponent targeting.

•"Death Blows" - more than 60 gory killing moves based on authentic historical data.

•A huge variety of opponents, including powerful gladiators and terrifying mythical monsters.

•Scripted cameras and dynamic lighting, creating a truly cinematic gaming experience.

•Amplified elements in combat mode, feature decapitation, fatal wounding, dismemberment and a dynamic "blood spray" system.

•A diverse array of gladiatorial weaponry that expands through game play.

I may joke about the in-difference but the game actually scored quite well back in the day so it will be interesting to see how this shapes up and whether it offers itself as a good alternative to RYSE: Son Of Rome or whether the combat system is ultimately out dated in modern times.

Thanks for the news dude I never caught the original but it sounds like it may be worth checking out when it arrives.

I will no doubt enjoy this as it combat with swords, but blimey it looks truly awful graphically, not even good enough for 360

Pfft should of been Capcom's epic Shadow of Rome. Thanks for the info Clone

Nice one clone, thanks for the share, although, I kinda hope they are the super old graphics
