The game's story mode, known as the "tournament of doom," features a decent narrative about becoming a king in a land where revival magic is common, complemented by humorous commentary from a bard narrator. Players navigate through eight levels, each with five opponents, across various themed arenas, while also facing challenges in higher difficulty settings. Overall, the story adds an engaging layer to the gameplay, despite some frustrations with AI behavior.
- “The game offers three game modes: story, survival (unlocked by beating story on insane, which is not that hard but can be annoying when you face AI with 'turtle-like' behavior) and local multiplayer, plus plenty of fun options to choose from such as playing speed, the ability to switch the regular claymores for Star Wars' lightsabers, and even a much welcome first-person view.”
- “Story mode offers a series of eight levels with five opponents each (got killed by the last one, though? Back to the first) with plenty of neat arenas such as deserts (both hot and cold), taverns, dungeons, castle gardens, and even an (empty) colosseum.”
- “Either way, the slow down helped me survive long enough for my cheap tactics to win, which got me through the faster difficulties of the story mode (which has a decent story about becoming the king in a land where revival magic is apparently super easy, plus some bawdy humor from the bard narrator) and after about a hundred tries the final fifty.”
