  The long awaited swords and sandals Immortal is finally here! Swords and sandals is a game series created by Oliver Joyce and this is the 6th instalment in the franchise. The art and design has been much improved since previous games and the music goes hard. The combat is really fun and is a bit more in depth then other S&S games which I really appreciate. The game is still in early access (Literally released today) so there are a few bugs here and there but there is still a long way to go until full release and i'm sure these will be ironed out. Had a really fun time playing it so far so I would highly recommend.

  EDIT 6/2/22: I think the problem described below got fixed in a patch on Monday, May 30th... ----------------------------------- This game is great, but holy fuck this is annoying: I have not once, not twice, but THREE times lost an uncommon/rare item in the weaponsmith's store, selling it "by ACCIDENT" while not even trying to sell it. For example: I went into the store, went to sell my extra Iron Mace because I had bought an uncommon (green) one... I go to select to sell the Iron Mace (I triple check that I click IT, and not the green item)... and sure enough, it sells the green item which was EQUIPPED. This also happened with a breastplate in the armour store, and the other third item which I don't recall anymore... Initially I thought this was my fuck-up, but, after the 2nd instance and my paying closer attention to this third instance I just listed, it HAS to be a bug. I don't know if I'm making sense writing any of this, but please investigate this if you can - this is kind of irritating because we have to wait 3 days to refresh the shops... and MAYBE get a decent item to buy from there thereafter. An issue like this doesn't really correlate when considering that the game is 'on a timer'. Maybe also consider adding a "buyback" feature for the store, so that people can buy back items (up to a limit - say 4 items at a time available to buy back) in case something like this happens. Another idea is to add a prompt that asks you to CONFIRM which item you are trying to sell (so that you don't blindly sell the thing you actually want because of inattentiveness). Hopefully this makes sense. Otherwise, this game is fantastic - thank you for bringing it.

In S&S3 your character defeats Ultratus Omega and then you get lifted in to sky and appear in a spaceship. In year 640CM Automatons and Robotic Invade our world once again and in just 300 days the StarBound Gladiator will return to Tritonia to destruct the world. Be the next Grand Champion and save the world! From Oliver Joice, you could only expect a game for the fans so just enjoy the game and the fantastic new journey that awaits you Gladiator. [h1]General Gameplay[/h1] The prime activity as a Gladiator will be - you guessed it – to defeat other Gladiators from one place to the other in the different arenas around the world map of Brandor If that sounds boring, you couldn’t be more wrong. Create your Gladiator and then show who is the boss. Not only that but you will get a chance to defeat the Regional Champions of each arena and the Grand Champions. You will progressively unlock, skills and encounter other fellow friends that will help you get stronger as the dangers and hindrances become consequently more complex. Choose your skill points and stats points wisely and manage your gold. Buy weapons and armors in the shops with a random chance to appear gear like in Diablo or S&S 3 with different stats and buff bonuses that will benefit your gladiator. [h1]Combat System[/h1] You start a weak but you gradually grow more powerfull! The combat is refreshing and yet plays simple like the other games in the S&S franchise. Definitely requires more tactical thinking than the previous S&S games with the stress meter mechanic and climate effects and traits for specific races. Different from the other games, this installement when you loose a fight the only penalty for it is a day wasted and some gold lost, which it’s not bad but can make a difference in the future. [h1]Multiplayer Component[/h1] Not available at the moment.

  This is my childhood right here, whatever I may think I would give a positive review Not the best Swords and Sandals game but It just quenches that thirst, everyone knows that thirst if you ever played any Swords and Sandals game. Not many game gives of the feelings this series give, and that is special. Might be better to wait for more updates but still at least playable.

  For a lot of people, Swords and Sandals is a pure hit of nostalgia, myself included. I still remember when I first played Swords and Sandals I: Gladiator, I'd never really played anything like it, I remember staying up late on school nights and grinding out progress on my character, watching him slowly grow from a lowly prisoner to a true gladiator. That was the beginning of my long lasting love for this series, and when I saw there was a new entry on Steam, I was elated. The iconic sounds and music never truly left me and the first time I booted up Swords and Sandals: Immortals I was immediately hit with a comforting feeling, like the embrace of an old friend. I was pleased to see that the game in many ways pays homage to its roots, without spoiling anything if this game means to you what it means to me I think you're in for a treat. Some people might think the art style looks dated and samey, but I think it's progressed in all the right ways while staying true to the essence of the games; after all it was never about the graphics, at least for me. If you're a longtime fan of Swords and Sandals like I am, I'm confident you won't regret dusting off your sandals once more to step into the arena, and I think you'll feel right at home.

  i like how not a single hit would connect for me for 6 straight turns, at a 60% + chance of hitting
