Gladiator Rising 2

Ok so I’ve beaten the first game. Spent countless hours on it. Recently learned there was a second one. I’ve currently done roughly 20 roaming matches in the capital (love the fact that now I can grind). I’ve also done about 4 matches in the capital arena. So, maybe I should hold off on the review until I’m at least half way through the game. But, the game prompted my review, so here we are. Imma review it before I forget. The game keeps a lot of the charm from the first one, love the continuation of the story. It feels more on the nose with the commentary. Morb breaks the fourth wall repeatedly, while I believe that’s in character for him, it’s done a bit much. That’s really all the gripes I have with the characters, it’s the controls I have an issue with. The buttons are so small for mobile. I feel like I’m pressing the x on a mobile game ad. That’s also the only complaint I have with the controls lol. Overall, it’s a fun game, that stays faith to the first game (so far, like I said, I’m in the beginning and there are a bunch of new classes). It just as a small UI with no feature to increase the UI size. Love the game though!

This game is a ton of fun! It’s quick to pick-up/put-down, though putting it down is much harder to do ;) Simple controls, challenging combat, not terribly repetitive. I would love to see stack-crafting, so I can drag stacks of items into the crafting queue and come back for all after, rather than only being able to do 1 at a time, but it’s a minor inconvenience for such a fun game overall.

An easy play with fun gameplay and dialogue. Reminds me a lot of swords and sandals from back in the day but slightly more fast paced with much better stats and item set ups and options. It was the dialogue just before the second arena got me to write this review haha. I really did make a face lol. If I had any criticisms, they’d be about a couple spelling errors (who really cares it doesn’t affect gameplay or enjoyment) and some of the buttons and text could be enlarged. Not hard to read, but could be a little larger. Overall, this is a great app with no pay to win features, fun gameplay, funny dialogue, awesome art, and a ton of things I could go on about.
