What players think
The recurring themes across 97 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
That said, I do like the simple gameplay, the art style, really like the music (particularly the title screen).
-Only nice thing about this game is the decent art style.
There are options to rebind controls that literally do nothing, you can change all the buttons on controller and the game ignores it and just keeps the default controls lmao.
Personally, I would have liked a couch-coop mode so that I could have beat up gladiators together with a friend, but overall, Story of a Gladiator is a nice little game for spending some time.
