Conclusion:

Graphics of the game is fairly good. Battle scenes are animated but not remarkable. One downer of the game is game items. The game doesn’t have inventories where you can change available equipments. Old equipments are lost when equipped with new ones or..have I missed something here? It will be more interesting to customize equips before battle..hope the developers will update the game with such feature soon.

Spartacus: Gods of the Arena game is one hell of a game. It’s well laid out, fun, challenging and addicting. You should absolutely try out this game if you haven’t.
