The controls are absolute dogshit and that's kind of the point. You're this gladiator chick, Spartika, with tits that have their own gravitational pull, and you're supposed to fight these other warriors in a sandy pit. The briefing screen tells you the buttons but your fingers just won't listen. I spent the first five fights just spinning in circles while some guy with a trident kept poking me in the back. The blood sprays are over the top, like someone's throwing ketchup packets at the screen every time you land a hit. It's messy.

What sticks with me though is the weird rhythm you fall into once you stop fighting the jank. There's this one opponent, a big bald dude with a net, who kept catching me and I'd just watch Spartika's chest bounce while she struggled. The nudity isn't some big reward at the end, it's just... there. You lose a piece of armor when you take a hit, and suddenly you're fighting half naked and trying not to get stabbed. I wish the camera would stop freaking out when you get close to the walls. Sometimes it clips right through her body and you see inside the 3d model, all hollow and wrong. Reminds me of that old browser game where you'd fight stick figures except now it's got jiggle physics and grunting.

The reward scenes are whatever. You win, she poses, the end. I kept expecting something more interactive but nah, it's just a looping animation. My cat jumped on my keyboard during one fight and somehow that made me win. I don't know. The gladiator theme is cool I guess but the melee combat feels like two action figures being smashed together by a kid who doesn't know the rules. The sound design is just clanging metal and wet thuds. I think there was music but I honestly can't remember.
