    Spartacus Legends is a free-2-play that deserves attention for a number of interesting features, such as the management phase and a certain tension attributed to the fact that you may lose your gladiator.

    It is theoretically enjoyable, but there are some issues, mostly online related, that spoil all the fun. We encourage you to give it a try, since it has a lot of entertainment to offer.

    Spartacus Legends has an interesting combat system and character progression, but fails with its servers problems, poor netcode and some graphics issues.

    Better exploitation of the license would allow Spartacus Legends of becoming a title unavoidable at least for fans of the TV series.

    Legends has missed the point of the business model entirely, giving unfortunate players a choice of grinding through shallow, unfulfilling and downright ugly combat, or forking out substantial amounts of real money to bypass said mediocrity. [Sept 2013, p.71]

    Most free to play games are engineered for compulsive play, but Spartacus Legends is about as addictive as swallowing sand. Thumbs down.

    It's a bad game compromised further by awkward monetisation. [Issue#101, p.84]

    Great for fans of the series...if the bugs and server issues get fixed. A patch is vital to this game being more than mediocre. I would haveGreat for fans of the series...if the bugs and server issues get fixed. A patch is vital to this game being more than mediocre. I would have paid the 60 bucks for a smooth and complete Spartacus fighter. Instead, the developers urge players to go to the bank and pay 150 bucks for gold coins for the full game experience. This game as of now is not worth one dollar as it is nearly impossible to get on the servers. I am a die-hard Spartacus fan and a so-so fighter fan, so this game should be perfect for me. But will it get fixed? If it does and you can look past the pay scheme and the somewhat clunky fighter responses, this Tribute to all things gladiator might be just what the summer ordered. Right now, I think I will play some borderlands 2 or injustice, at least until the servers get fixed. I give the game a 8 based on it getting fixed. No fix, this game gets a 3.… Expand

It took me an hour to actually get ontoThis game has gotten off to a really bad start, The first day and the servers prove to be appalling. It took me an hour to actually get onto the game and when I finally do. I don't get a fast-paced action fighter, I get what feels like a repetitive facebook game, I'm rank 10 and have already grown bored of the game, About Rank 7 the game just becomes a grind-fest because of an outrageous difficulty spike. Some of the weapon-types seem to be very underpowered whilst others destroy all in its path with great ease. Due to the awful servers their is no point attempting an online match, because you'll be lucky to complete it due to disconnections and lag. The game requires an Internet connection even for its single player and the only thing that really makes it worth playing is if you're more of a casual gamer, One that doesn't play for more than an hour or so a day.… Expand
