Gladiator Guild Manager

I have no problem with difficulty. I have no problem with weird combos; finding them to use or them being used against me (training for using them myself). I actually love the upgrade system and overall auto-battler style. The the lack of keybinds in (seemingly) obvious locations, the inability to set starting battle speed (so i can watch the starting fireworks instead of the occasional "fight is over in 3 seconds and wth happened"), the crashes in monthly arena causing you to LOSE ALL FIGHT PROGRESS effectively locking you out of achievements "because", the instant saving after every click (do NOT misclick or right click; turn it off if you have a custom keybind app)... I can't recommend this game. it's infuriating in all the wrong ways. Absolutely ridiculous to get 30 hours into a long carefully planned run to have the crashes, bugs, and impossible (with the units available) events suddenly lock out achievements and destroy a run.

1. I have to drag my gladiators to board every time. I would love to have a one click deploy button, could be the highest level ones or a preset etc. 2. Every time I open the game, it is going to show the devs+publishers+kickstarter backer. Just stop showing them after first time or one esc could skip them all. 3. You get a huge ad in the starting screen. I understand this is a good way to expose your new game, but it's so big, to the point of being annoying. However the overall experience is solid. so this is a positive review.

This game is what could be called a "Click end turn" simulator, as the majority of your time is spent repeatedly waiting for the next event, which is rarely any different from the 500 previous events. I love the look, and premise of this game, but there's SERIOUS balance issues. I can't overstate that strongly enough. There are several incredibly powered units, and many, MANY you never need to use. The skill upgrade resources are insanely tight, and you'll never max out more than a couple unit skills. You'll never fully upgrade more than a few gear pieces. You don't get refunded material when you decide to take a different upgrade path, so experimenting is incredibly punished. The combat in this game is so broken... There's one way to play this effectively--BURST DAMAGE. Most fights are over in seconds, so any skill, or item that benefits from drawn out fights is just pointless. Every fight is a messy explosion of instant kills, so strategy never really goes beyond exploiting that fact. There's no inventory sorting, so prepare to manually be doing that over, and over. Overall, this is a fun little time killer, but it needed more development time to balance EVERYTHING about this game, and streamline the sheer number of units that you never need to use. 5/10

I like the concept but there is too little variety in builds, units dont matter and u have to manage alot of em. All items are basic. Far too many things to choose from when its all the same anyways. A better approach would be to have a smaller team, stay with the gladiators u choose for a while and give em some more variety or perks that makes em stand out and not just be another basic unit of X type. The matches are also basic since u fight the same glads but just more of em etc, its a grinding game disguised as a game where u actually have a choice and no real challenge or reason to get a good team.

Скрытый гем, очень приятное взаимодействие с интерфейсом, неплохое количество контента, приемлемая локализация. Стилистика хорошо выдержана во всём контенте. Довольно большое количество предметов, расходников и перков, хотя довольно четкая привязка к уровню некоторых из них криво работает на практике. Если часто посещать магазин, то видно, что на некоторых «уровнях» просто отсутствуют предметы под нужные атрибуты. Взаимодействие с тремя фракциями хорошее, но не очень интересное. Квестов и диалогов довольно мало, и при этом, выбирая ту или иную фракцию, они не заменяют друг друга, а наслаиваются. Через несколько прохождений они будут приедаться. Учитывая необходимость опыта для пешек, отказываться от квестов «другой фракции» часто нет смысла, поэтому сидеть вы будете на всех стульях. Из недочетов могу посетовать только на две вещи: 1) Отсутствие баланса у любых противников выше 25–30 уровня. Они прокачаны нелогично, они не имеют сложности в привычном смысле. В частности, на последней арене происходит хаос: за пару секунд может аннигилироваться вся команда противников вместе со всеми саппортами и дамагерами твоей команды. Режим перманентной смерти в этом ключе выглядит сомнительно. 2) Отдельно я бы говорил о поведении ИИ. Проблема в том, что иногда они ведут себя абсурдно: противник пару раз побьет твоего танка, а потом просто пойдёт стукать саппортов, не обращая внимания на ближников. Это довольно глобальная проблема, и несмотря на наличие способностей танков агрить на себя противников, все равно все фокусят остальных, причем иногда это абсурдно настолько, что в танках нет смысла. Также часто бывает, что при воскрешении противников на другом конце поля твой саппорт, несмотря ни на что, пойдёт героически кидать щит на них, обрекая себя на смерть. Я могу сказать, что геймплей на первых стадиях действительно приятный, но чем дальше, тем меньше ощущается контроль над прокачкой или тактикой. Также я бы говорил, что сам по себе проект очень забавный и мелочи типа своих имён для пешек или кастомных голов создают невероятный комичный вайб, особенно если не пренебрегать этим.

Trata-se de um jogo de notável qualidade, cuja dinâmica exige considerável capacidade estratégica por parte do jogador. Além disso, sua narrativa é envolvente e bem construída, conferindo à experiência um apreciável valor artístico e intelectual.

I thought I might get about 5 hours of fun out of this, but the gameplay wears of pretty fast. I got bored after 2,5 h. I mean, it is really cheap when it is on sale, but still: I wish there was more to do. And I wish the game had more personality.

I like to play on normal difficulty with permanent deaths and maximum 70% coins back after someone dies and it seems to be the best way to play but then a quick road block hits when 1 or 2 of my warriors die. Items become scarce, materials seem harder to get and enemies seems to grow in level pretty fast. I wish there was a little bit more balance with this sort of mode then ill come back to play. But it is a fun little game that i wish to continue under my circumstances.
