RPG Gamers summary!
We Who Are About To Die is an unforgiving Gladiator Roguelite experience that puts you in control of a gladiator with a single life. You must fight your way from the Pits to the Arena into the Stadium, pleasing larger and larger crowds until you finally become a legend of the Grand Stadium. This game features a physics based combat system with directional attacks that requires practice and skill to master. You will have to slow down and pay attention, pressing random buttons in a panic will only send your gladiator to an even earlier grave. You will learn how to move, how to use momentum to hit HARD, how to hit targeted weak spots and eventually, you will make up your own moves and fight in your own style. You will also have to deal with random events, choose your next matches, please the rich patrons, please the crowds, expand your school, setup your training regime, bribe for information, hire professional help, and more. You will progress and purchase/loot weapons and armor, and master 8 weapon classes that all play differently. You will also step into over a dozen arenas of different sizes and styles, each with random variations. Fight in group battles or take on tense one-on-one duels that test your skills. How long can you last before your inevitable glorious death?
