The Consensus: Is It Worth Playing?

Bloodgrounds is a turn-based tactical RPG with roguelite and city management elements, developed by Exordium Games and published by Daedalic Entertainment. Players recruit and command gladiators in grid-based arena combat with permadeath while managing a city and pursuing revenge against a tyrannical emperor in a dark fantasy setting.

my closing thoughts about Bloodgrounds are that it's a really, really good game. It cleverly has a lot of ideas from games like Gladius, a lot of ideas from games like Dominus, a lot of ideas from games like Diablo. It mixes them together in a very, very satisfying mélange.

I'm really impressed by this demo. I'm ready for this. Hell yeah, you have my attention. I don't really see anything to complain about. It's a tactical RPG Gladiator game that's just like one of the greatest Gladiator games ever made on the PlayStation 2.
