End of the Year Catch up #3 Spartan: Total Warrior
Spartan Total Warrior is one of those nostalgic games for me. I feel like this game never gets talked about and when I find someone to talk to they are immediately my friend. My history with this game is your once upon a time typical teenager experience. I went to Blockbuster (or equivalent) and my dad rented it as I was certainly was under the age of 17 lol.
Once I got home and played it and even playing it now. It brings back all the memories. I don't remember it being as hard as a remember but teenager me had all the time in the world after school. Honestly, its a pretty good hack and slash game. So much chaos and enemies (like 20-30+) is thrown and you in one arena and constantly upgrading your spartan and getting new weapons makes the repetitive nature of the game super exciting as you try new combos and enemies become strong as well. As the game box mentions, there are about 60 types of enemies. From Gladiators and barbarians, to skeletons and zombies. I think this game is certainly hidden under the radar as games like god of war certainly took the trophy home in this genre. If I had a criticism for this game I would say the checkpoint system and health items. Sometimes the checkpoint puts you at a disadvantage as it saves your health state as you had when you crossed it. Sometimes you might have to repeat the level because you are stuck as a one hit and you are dead. Also the health shrines at least in my game were bugged at times. Not a turn off but after restarting the game and loading up they were fixed so YMMV.
Spartan: Total warrior is fun and it will always have a special place in my heart for this game. Even my dad asks to borrow this game almost 20 years later. It is that fun for both of us.
