Gladiator's Arena

If you like Vampire Survivors, Bounty of One, Army of Ruin, Brotato, Bone Raiser Minions, & Soulstone Survivors then you'll like Gladiator's Arena. It also plays great of the Steam Deck. You get a selection of weapons at the start. Your character also has the ability to dash to dodge attacks from enemies. You fight off waves of various animals, & other gladiators. Between waves, you can upgrade your abilities such as attack rate, armor, attack strength, & even acquire special abilities. Your character starts out moving slowly & can't dash very far. With some of the right upgrades, you can remedy that. On a scale of 1 to 5, I give it a 3.5. Its a fun game for a few minutes at time, largely because you fight in the same stage all the time. I get the fact that its in an arena (suggested by the title of the game). It would be cool if in an update, extra stages would be added with variations or shapes to make it more wide open or more confined. At the very least, different looking arenas could be added. There are other games out there that were done better. Its not a bad game & it is definitely worth the price, but its hard to put it above Vampire Survivors, Bounty of One, Army of Ruin, or Soulstone Survivors. EDIT (07-16-2023): I still recommend this game, but I wanted to make a few extra notes that I discovered. Once your character gets really powered up, the game doesn't become a challenge anymore. I managed to get my defense up to 100% & was able to fend off waves while standing still without moving. While the enemies become more numerous, they don't get anymore powerful. This prevents the game from becoming a challenge as you go further. I got to about Wave 66 & got bored because I couldn't take any damage. I'm going to amend my rating from 3.5 to 3. Maybe with a future update or patch, this can be fixed.
