The story in this game is widely criticized for being extremely minimal and lacking depth, with players noting that it consists of little more than basic text before each mission. Reviewers express disappointment over the absence of a compelling narrative or character development, especially when compared to previous titles in the series that featured richer storytelling and mission variety. Overall, the repetitive nature of the missions further detracts from any potential engagement with the story.
“Meanwhile, every previous game in the series has had a full-blown story mode with interesting characters, and while usually a basic plot, it was interesting enough to keep you engaged in what was going on.”
“Whereas in Gladiator Begins, you see your character rise from a slave to a hero and it's all rather gratifying, this game is really just a slog with little story to get invested in.”
“First of all, this game does have a story and a story mode, but the story is as barebones as you can possibly get; it's literally just some text before each mission.”

The gameplay is a mixed bag, featuring a multiplayer 3v3 arena format that encourages teamwork through unique character skills, reminiscent of classic gladiator games. While some players find the mechanics engaging and rewarding, others criticize the lack of depth in the overall experience and express dissatisfaction with the server activity and significant gameplay changes, such as the shift from leveling up to equipment upgrades. Overall, opinions vary widely, with some enjoying the fun aspects while others deem it lacking.
“This is a multiplayer 3v3 arena fighting game using similar mechanics to the classic gladiator series.”
“This mechanic is clearly built to encourage teamwork, with each player bringing their own skills or spells to the fight, and is a really nice addition.”
“- gameplay 9/10 (just do the Harlem Shake with your mouse and keyboard; it's fun)”
“While many of the mechanics are shared with the gladiator games, this doesn't even attempt to compete with them.”
“But while these mechanics worked for a gladiatorial situation, they don’t always feel quite right here.”
“Not recommended, server is dead and gameplay is bad.”
