In other words, this game is HUGE. Not only in the amount of territory to explore but also in the sheer number of stats to tweak and customize with each character. To give you an idea of just how much depth and complexity the game offers, let’s take a look at what we can do with Valens, the young hero of the saga. Along with Ludo, Valens is the first gladiator you acquire in the game. When the time comes to manage him, you first have the option to peruse his hit points, damage, power, attack, defense, connect and movement capabilities. Scroll to his equipment, and find that you can equip weapons, capes, shields, helmets and special tokens. Move on to his skill chart and decide where to spend your hard earned ‘Job-Points’ (aka experience points) on affinity attacks, combo moves, physical evasions and other tricks (there are actually three different kinds of skill points that level your character up in unique ways).
