HYPE! Dev here. Thanks for the love Splat < 3 We worked really hard on this update, I'm glad you like it. Its scary to change fundamental stuff but we're trying to stay fearless as we go towards 1.0. Sidenote, would love to see you play third person some time! It looks like this is the original Spectacles Update release, in the last 2-3 weeks I already released like 5 patches, fixing many issues seen here + another going up tonight probably. One of them is a regular update that further tweaks balance on the new mechanics, and expanded Draft (military service mission) a lot

@Salvo_Your_Problems 2 месяца назад

Domina is STILL the best gladiator game out there. Unfortunately the dev had to push his politics in the patch notes and it got review bombed as a result leading him to quit developing it. Nothing beats the feeling of that game with the music, the heckling from the crowd, and the explosive action

@Hudson316 2 месяца назад

Uh, no, he STARTED with putting his politics into patch notes, then he put hate speech into his patch notes, got review bombed for it, then got himself kicked off steam and his game removed because Steam banned his ass for what he put in the patch notes. Was a shame, I'd had that game for years before his brain imploded.

@alexkaplan1136 2 месяца назад

Yeah there probably should be. It’s a reference to Ancient Rome, where the slaves say “We, who are about to die, salute you.” to the emperor before their fights. Popularized (at least for me) by the movie Gladiator.

@mikew735 2 месяца назад

I just started a game of gladius again on my old gamecube, such a criminally under rated and incredible game and since disney owns all that lucas arts stuff i am terribly sad it wont see the light of day again, even a remake and a re-release like what happened with monster rancher would be beyond awesome.

@vegard2000 2 месяца назад

It's fun, but it gets a bit stale after a few hours, but I'm not really sure what they could do with the gameplay loop to improve it

@cfilorvyls457 2 месяца назад

Prob some elite gladiator types for harder fights I guess. It gets really stale past a certain point because it's just the same fight over and over again. Having some more variety like a faster jumpy enemy or a massive hulk type barbarian each with different AI.

@TheAzrai 2 месяца назад

More fluid animations and weightier impacts, just an overall polishing of the combat would go a long way.

@MrAgmoore 2 месяца назад

I believe when Gladiator 2 the movie comes out, (which looks promising btw), there will be a market that publishers will RUSH to fill. At least, that is my hope and my prediction. A lot of "Roman" games came out when Gladiator 1 came out with Russel Crowe. Everything from combat games to strategy games and even city building games because people were Roman hungry then.

@amergingiles 2 месяца назад

4:00 Woooah now, hard stop. Disappointment? It's still one of the best gladiator management games ever made, it's just that Steam selectively decided he didn't get to have opinions. He got banned for questioning the Covid response the world went through and for calling Keffals (a transgender canadian streamer) a child groomer years before Mutahar did the video that got it mainstream, showing off the Catboy Ranch, the discord sexting, and worst of all, the DIY HRT storefront run by actual child pornographers, and that is what got him banned. You can still buy Domina through Gumroad and it comes with all the DLC for base price. He only got banned for being and edgy bastard and pointing out weird shit.

@TheRealXartaX 2 месяца назад

There's not much to complain about regarding the gameplay, but the ban was justified. Not because he has opinions, but because he was using dev status to bypass bans and pushing political opinions unrelated to the game to the players through the patch notes and stuff like that. It's enough of a justification for me. If he was posting those things on twitter and got taken off of Steam for it for example, I'd agree with you. But he was abusing the tools given to him by Steam/Valve.
