The game takes place in the future, and players take control of gladiators fighting for sport in a death match setting. It's an arcadey free-for all deal similar to Unreal Tournament with three arenas, and players can either play against computer bots or against each other. Of course, the major emphasis is on customization, which makes this feel more like Eliminate Pro. Before the round and every time you die, you get to choose which of your weapons will be most effective, how much ammo you have, how high you can jump, etc. Everyone has 100 points to divy up among these attributes as they please. The thing that makes the mechanic most engaging is that leveling up one particular attribute could serve a variety of strategies. For example, leveling up jump height not only works for sniping because it allows you to get to high places, but also can be employed much differently for a rocket-jumping strategy. There's a lot of overlap between the strategies. Lots of room for tweaking. |
