Arxel Tribe has launched today the US retail version of The Gladiators in North America. Already available in Europe since several months, The Gladiators is a 3D RTS developed by Eugen Systems. Read our review for more details. A playable demo is also available here.
The people have grown weary of the endless power struggles at court between the pretenders to the throne. The pretenders to the title, the Regent, Princess and the Chamberlain, resolve to use circus games as a means of settling the succession, and each selects a champion to defend their colours. Callahan and his commandos, Fargass and his cohorts and General Maximix and his cyborgs are to face each other in the arena in a fight to the death, where their lives but also the survival of their species are at stake. But while combat rages, the Powers themselves do battle in the wings to spur their heroes on to victory. Features: * A new generation RTS Action game with a strong RPG component, with three races of combatants: - the US Army / Aliens / Galactic forces. * A cutting-edge 3D engine: 4 million polygons/second, dynamic control of particles, shadow, light and atmospheric conditions in real time, 4 layers of texture for the units, objects and terrain. * 3 campaigns with 20 missions that see you at the head of up to 500 units. * Help your gladiators advance by collecting artefacts, spells, and experience points and win the crowd’s favour! * A totally interactive environment: use and destruction of the surrounding countryside, vegetation, and buildings. * Network mode supporting up to 8 players in LAN and Internet : skirmish, deathmatch, capture the flag...
