Gladius Windows game

Gladius is an immersive sword fighting game set in the ancient Rome and developed from the ground up for the HTC Vive. As a gladiator, you will choose your weapons, train against different enemies, and finally fight for your freedom in an epic battle against the mightiest warriors and creatures of the ancient world.

KEY FEATURES AT EARLY ACCESS LAUNCH:

• Sword fighting: Hold weapons directly in your hands, block enemy strikes with your shield or sword, throw your sword at the enemy, and cut their limbs and heads! The longer you play Gladius, the more you'll hone your skills.

DISCLAIMER: This is an area of very active development right now, so there are some features that still are NOT developed yet:

• Enemies don't try to avoid hits
• Collisions are not 100% accurate (e.g. from time to time you might get hit even if the a sword is bloqued by a shield)
• AI is basic for now, enemies don't straffe or try to surround you for instance
• Weapons physics are still not fully implemented

These features are going to be included in the coming weeks but are not included right now.

• Two Game Modes: engage in casual training in the small arena, or fight in campaign mode in the glorious Colosseum.
• Seven types enemies: Gladiators, Legionaries, Praetorians, Tigers, Skeletons, Mummies and Minotaurs.
• Energy system: allows you to teleport and to slow time for spectacular moves that will wow the crowd.
• Armory: Unlock new weapons, shields and helmets in the armory as you progress through the levels.
• Three locomotion options: You can either teleport, sprint or use the trackpad movement.
• Dynamic crowd: People in the stadium react to your actions, they root for you if you do spectacular moves, they get bored, and throw you food if you deserve it. Win the crowd, and you will win your freedom!
