I played Age of Gladiators 2 for a bit, its ok. A fair amount of depth to be discovered, in upgrading your space ludus. I had fun equipping my gladiators and discovering what the racial special abilities were, and upgrading your base, ala xcom like also had some interesting choices. The combat is decent 3D, and is challenging, probably a little too much at first, then later its too easy when you trained your squad and turned them into uber soldiers. After winning the championship for the first season, I lost interest in playing more though, nothing new to discover, just tweaking and replacing worn warriors and equipment. Worth a play if you LOVE the idea of running a ludus, especially a space one. Otherwise better games to play, with better legs…
Why all the humans are bald…I have no idea…hair loss from the future version of steroids maybe?

It wasn’t always like that.
Fabio was a Space Marine before he was a model. When he left them to pursue modeling, the Space Marines cried and were very sad. From that day on they all shaved their heads to forget about the brother they lost to modeling.

There was a show on it by 3 Moves Ahead. It sounded like a good game. Very good. They gave glowing praise of it,and said it was evocative thematically.

It’s been a long time since I played a WEGO turn system. I love how they play out. I wonder why more games don’t utilize this.

Definitely going to look into when I switch back to a PC instead of Mac next week!
Yup! If you don’t mind…
Truly one of my favorite games of the year so far. Just so fun.

Why is this in the “bargain” thread exactly? There’s been some discussion in the Brian Rubin space game thread and he likes it. But this is no “bargain” :)
It’s a steal at $40 good sir. Clearly a $60 game.
You can’t stop Brian. You can only hope to contain him!
You could stop me with Oreo ice cream. Or anything Reese’s.
Have you tried the peanut butter Oreos yet?
The PB oreos were a total disappointment for me, but they had Reese’s oreos for a bit that were awesome. Better ratio I guess and there was fudge and pb in the cream instead of just pb.
Tom Chick fave Agents of Mayhem is currently 20 bucks or so on Steam. I feel like this doesn’t say good things about its success.
I would think the layoffs at Volition said as much.
Thanks for the quick take on AoG II.
Space Ludus just sounds funny.
“I had space ludus, but the doc gave me some pills that cleared it right up!”
Surprisingly meh, I have to say. Never got to try Reese’s Oreos. I actually avoided them, worrying they’d be too dangerous.

In defense of Brian, he did not make the post I was questioning :)
