The grannies from the Armchair Empire have knit together a preview of Lucas Arts' gladiator themed action RPG 'Gladius'.
Here's a teaser:The movie “Gladiator” opened up a new appreciation in me for not only the brute strength but also the intelligence and strategy that was required to survive and be a champion in the Roman Empire sporting arena. LucasArts will try to bring that same appreciation to gamers next year with the action RPG scheduled for release next spring, Gladius.
Known for its Star Wars line of games and adventure titles like Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max, and Grim Fandango, LucasArts is delving into developing into a new genre with Gladius. The game will combine an RPG that follows the path of two heroes (Valens and Ursula) who must recruit and train a team to compete with the actual action of battling in the dangerous gladiatorial ring. Your units must learn new skills to improve their abilities to become an efficient gladiator. Victory in the arena will give you certificates that will help build experience points and unlock new levels to progress through. |
