Review

A gladiatorial combat game combining fast-paced action, strategic movement, and a unique control scheme, all while featuring some of the most graphic violence ever seen in early computer gaming. You can play versus a computer controlled robot or a second player. Players can move forward in the direction they are facing and have controls that allow them to turn and rotate their axe and shield individually. The controls are difficult to master in this one. Combat gets pretty gory with blood and severed limbs. It pioneered mechanics that would later become staples of the fighting genre.
