I really like the concept, it brings a roguelite experience to the physics of swinging and timing throws to the gladiatorial scene, and it does it perfectly, however the one big thing i really wished we had were more caestus/hand weapons, the claw is cool but I really think certain builds could benefit from such a simple style! One really big talking point in my honest opinion is any of the draft sequences in the game, it'd be awesome if a spin-off of just those sections existed, along with a army management type of gameplay, it could even be called We Who Are About To Die: Conquest or something.

The point being, we who are about to die implements the physics game into a somewhat unfamiliar setting and runs with it, and i love playing it, still have yet to beat any of the character specific goals but I will soon!

good, needs some 4 player co op and multiplayer tourneys to be great

Flung a sword end over end into a guys forehead from twenty yards. It jammed into his skull and he came at me, sword waving around. Desperately picked up an apple and launched it at him. It his his butt and killed him. Fell off chair laughing. Amazing game.

Despite the very few hours I have on this game we are about to die has the most unique gameplay fighting mechanics and a very fun campaign.
It reminds me of one old school PC puzzle games with the pictures and the dialogues with the random person standing over with different facial expressions, but except there’s actual gameplay here. The scenarios that pop up could range from someone realizing you’re getting hurt more for some reason and then they force you to train with certain people and then you lose hell from that so that you gotta spend a little extra money to heal up to give you a dialogue from old school games that I referred too and would add a combat scenario in where you could be robbed . It shows the level of rng a game could have and this game used it well. Keep doing ya thing devs 🙏

If theres a method to this madness, it isn't made clear.

Decent idea, rubber arm flail feel combat is a deal breaker for a rouge like this.

If you had a roster of gladiators to heal or bring back, ok

If you could bring upgrades forward, ok

But dying over and over again with this bo bo ass combat system is a no go for me

Game is ♥♥♥♥ the traits are recycled no matter what dont buy this dumpster heap

C

fun!!

A unique fun little game : )

Best Gladiator game on the market, so much room to grow too. Great Game
