Rage of the Gladiator was in the “trending” section from Google Play. The “trending” section is listing the new apps that are successful (they are installed by a large amount of users and it has good stars rating).
About the game. You play as a gladiator inside an arena vs. AI heroes. By using touchscreen gestures, you can evade attacks, block, counter-attack, use special abilities and so on.
You won’t move your character, it is not possible.
The gameplay could have been much better but is far from engaging. There are no combos, some things seem not to work like the stun ability of enemies where you have to tap the screen. Nothing happens if you tap the screen.
As you defeat enemies, you gain experience and gold. You can level-up, buy gear, potions etc. It seems that there are only passive abilities, I always ended with having the same “hammer” ability when starting every fight.
Rage of the Gladiator is free, you can buy some crystals with real money and exchange them for gear and other goodies.
It would have been a great game but sadly, it isn’t.
Final score: 4/10.
