Play Here: Gladiator 1

They say that warriors are not born. They are made. Although that maybe true, only one thing is certain. That is that they make really good video games. Enter Gladiator, the Arena flash game.

This is a whacky way of playing the all time historical dilemma of a warrior stuck in Roman captivity. Here, you play the part of a Gladiator, enslaved by the Roman Empire. As such, you spend your life in the coliseum, battling soldiers and special warriors with every darned day of your life. Of course, as a gladiator, you have your own sets of weapons. You can either use a mace or a sword to decapitate the life out of your enemies. Switching weapons can be done through pressing the letter M on your keyboard, while actually utilizing them can be done through a simple press of the space bar. You also have to use directional keys for movements which can bring you left, right, down or up. This will come in handy, especially when the enemies swarm at you.

What makes the game so special is its simplicity. The graphics is an ode to classic cartoons, making it whacky and exaggerated. Even the bloodshed depicted with every hit will tickle your funny bone. After three short stages of sword- swinging and mace- bashing action, the game is as good as done.

Try it now and see warriors in a whole new now. With Gladiator, you’ll be so hooked… you’ll never ever want to play another Flash game again!
