Spartacus: Legends on XBLA/PSN

So I saw this when I was scrolling through the game sections. Loved the show, and apparently I'll be the first to play it. Hopefully it isn't bad.

Near all licensed games are bad.

Eh, it's a decent hack 'n' slash casual fighter so far. I'll keep playing it though.

Oh, keep me updated!

It's actually isn't half bad. It's definitely not the best game but it's very addicting! It actually provides a decent challenge too. If it didn't force pay to win options on you it would be much better.

It's just like a REALLY good flash game.

Apparently it's on PSN too...

Hehe.

Cool.

this is a very good game, FREE TO PLAY, and doesn't bog you down with buy this or buy that. You can parry and each weapon has different move sets. I can see a lot of similiarities in dark souls even though this is a fighting game.

If you want a break from Dark Souls, try this one out. It's challenging, tons of different weapons and move sets. Oh did I mention it was FREE? The only thing you buy is gold (which is really expensive) but you don't need to buy it, you get gold every time you level up. You can upgrade you weapons using silver that you win and only really need gold to buy weapons outside your level.

GET THIS GAME, it is awesome!!

I'll agree that it's fun, really fun actually. But it really needs balance as in terms of weapons. If you have longer reach, you're going to win. That simple. If you get hit once, you're stunned, and with the longsword's two hit quick combo, people just stand back and spam that in PvP.

Also, it is HEAVILY pay to win. Not to the point that it ruins the game, but to the point where it's just ridiculous. The biggest "gold package" you can buy is 12000 MS points. Which roughly calculates to $150 US DOLLARS. Very fun, but frustrating when you get into the higher levels and there are spears and such.

Also, have you gotten to the pits yet? If you need some extra silver just fight there. You get around 4000 gold per fight. 700 if you lose. And you get 10000 for the legend fight there. Only bad thing is your gladiator automatically gets slaughtered if you lose no matter what, but the risk vs. reward ratio is pretty nice.
