About
The Gladiator is an extremely late-generation weapons-based arcade brawler from IGS. Like most of their games, it's heavily inspired by Capcom's D&D games. It has six playable characters, huge movesets with advanced techniques, large enemy waves, and a magic/inventory system. It has high-quality pixel art, fluid animation, and a fantasy medieval China setting.
