only thing thats not so good is that the game doesn't save so if I want to quit and do something else I can't come back work on the last game I played
Reviews for "Sands of the Coliseum"
I love the game but there a lot of annoying things that the AI does. An example, which I wish you would change is the amount of turns the shield bash blocks for. It gets really annoying when the entire enemy team is just spamming shield bash and they are AI. They can pretty much shield bash, and then attack and go back to blocking. Please change this, I beg of you to.
Other than that problem, the game is great besides for the bug that when you like the facebook page it won't really give you the blue ingot but it will say it did. Also, everytime I refresh the page (Restart the game) I get a free copper ingot. That NEEDS to be fixed unless it was intended.
Overall, I give the game an eight for all around being an addictive game. There are more problems that could be mentioned but I don't really need to address those.
Overall this is a great game. I'm currently a level 35 squad fighting with level 48's, yet i can still easily over power them with rarely losing one member of my team. To me it doesn't make sense. Though, it does come to a point where you can recognize the type of opponent you're against and choose that one specific limb to make him useless and bleed him out. A few things that are bugging me: The net throw special can still be be done by the NPC even though their weapon arm is destroyed. Lastly the new popup in the upper left corner.
My only complaint is with the gold and shop system, and only with the costs themselves( the item system is actually really neat, reminds me of Diablo :D ). It seems that once you get to mid-game the shop armors and weapons become way too affordable, you can buy anything so long as its in stock, and the slave market prices become extremely outrageous as you progress, buying a base slave, without proper gear, near or under your current level even mid-game is almost out of the question I felt. Maybe just selling pre-equipped gladiators once you have progressed to certain point would be better? Also, it would be cool to have a meter on the side that shows the crowds favor, which side they lean towards, and maybe that give some kind of advantage? I just watched all 3 seasons of Spartacus and it was always about "winning the crowd" lol but now I'm just rambling >.<
Other than that GREAT GAME! I've been playing for about 4 days now. Very high caliber work, A flash game that holds anyone's attention beyond an hour is an impressive feat in itself. Other minor things have been covered by other reviews I believe. All together there is a ton more good about this game than there is bad, keep up the good work!
P.S. Pro-Tip guys: save all your metals until you are much higher in level before you take them to the Blacksmith if you can so they will yield more potent items, kinda like our friend Charci ;)
Great game, but how do i save my character? i press "save" after every match but when i close this window i can just start a new game.
