This game is weird. I’ve had my sights on it for a while but never got around to actually finishing it until today. It doesn’t do anything particularly wrong or right it just kind of exists. If you’re REALLY looking for an adventure to just shut your brain off for a while and enjoy a sub par generic story about Rome then maybe give this a shot. Otherwise I wouldn’t recommend.
A very pretty but ultimately hollow hack n' slash game.
The story is a collection of your usual sword and sandals vengeance epics, starring an array of British Romans chopping each other up, swearing vows, and dying dramatic deaths. It's nothing special, though the actors give it their all and there are some out of nowhere supernatural flourishes that are...memorable, if tonally out of place.
The combat makes a good first impression, but it doesn't take long to figure out it's basically a series of the most lavish quick time events ever produced. Things flash a color, you press the corresponding button, and an impressive animation plays out. Rinse and repeat ad nauseum. It looks exciting, but gets boring very fast.
The audio and visuals are still spectacular and hold up well for an over 10-year old game. One particular standout is the level that takes place in a creepy dark forest, with an ominous wicker man looming over the sea of trees. The atmosphere remains on point throughout, and you'll see a surprising variety of environments over the game's otherwise short runtime.
I can see why this was torn to shreds when it was released at full price, but now that you can pick it up for cheap in most places I'd say it's a mindlessly fun way to kill a couple afternoons, especially if you're into bonkers takes on Roman history.

If you look up the phrase "glorified tech demo" in the dictionary, you'll find a picture of this game.
Simple, yet fun
Apesar das criticas e analises negativas esse jogo me surpreendeu muito, eu simplesmente não consegui parar de jogar, a gemeplay é repetitiva más satisfatória e o ambiente romano me agrada muito também.
