Capcpom Chrornicles ~ # 4 ~
Never forget that Agrippa was considered for Tatsunoko vs Capcom
A middling combination of a 1v1 Roman gladiator inspired arena action combat recontextualized with Capcom's patented Stylish Action (or Character Action if you prefer) and stealth game that unfortunately is lesser than the sum of its parts. There are some interesting highs in there, but it's best remembered as a curiosity in Capcom's Bizzaritorium of the late sixth generation / early seventh generation of console gaming where they tried to hard to make games look / feel like Western developed games but ended up being uniquely Japanese in their design. With that in mind I can certainly see the appeal for History nerds, as there is more than just lip service to keystone events of the Roman Republic referenced here.
I can see myself picking this up again in a couple of years or so after looking at my shelf and going "oh yeah, that game," maybe a second playthrough when I'm even more lenient on games than I am now it will grow on me a bit.
