Description

In Gladius, players choose to become one of two heroic characters - Ursula or Valens (voiced by Linda Cardellini from Scooby Doo and Michael Rosenbaum from Smallville, respectively). Ursula, from the northern land of Nordagh, is the daughter of a great barbarian king. Valens is the son of one of Imperia's greatest gladiators of all time. A bloody conflict between their two homelands gave rise to a vengeful dark god, which nearly destroyed all of mankind. With the help of the revered Valkyrie, and at the great cost of many lives the dark god was defeated giving rise to an uneasy peace between the two lands. Now, darkness threatens again and the two young heroes must fulfill their destinies to keep the world from heading into another disastrous war. Ursula and Valens join forces and travel across many lands, competing in gladiator tournaments where they recruit a variety of warriors. Inadvertently, they become immersed in an evil plot to revive the dark god. Once this wicked plan is put into action, the gladiator games cease and the small band of fighters go on a challenging quest to solve the mystery of the sinister god and defeat those who would bring him back to the land of the living. The enormous scope of Gladius provides more than 36 hours of play in each of two story lines, which take players on a challenging journey across four diverse geographical regions - Imperia, Nordagh, the Windward Steppes and the Southern Expanse. Each land has a unique look and feel and contains a variety of warrior classes that players can recruit and train. Players move from region-to-region on a 3D world map and battles occur in 20 different arenas and more than 12 other locations. In addition, players can choose to participate in random encounters and side quests as they travel through the world. Within battles, players apply earned skills and weapons to control the power and ferocity of attacks that are measured by an arcade style swing meter. A successful fight earns the player new skills, highly coveted awards, fame and fortune that can be bartered for additional gladiator teammates, better weapons or advanced training. Every success or failure advances the story and brings the player closer to his or her destiny. Players can recruit gladiators from more than 50 unique classes, including: the powerful Imperial Legionary class, highly-skilled and classically-trained Roman warriors; the witches of the Galdr class, whose Celtic underpinnings enable enchantment with magical songs and spells; and the crafty javelin throwing Peltast class. In all, the game offers thousands of skills and more than 950 unique weapons, helmets, shields, and other accessories with which to equip warriors. Gladius features story as well as cooperative player modes. Upon completion of the chosen critical path, the tournaments continue allowing players to build their gladiator team and carry on exploration of the four unique territories.
