Swords and Sandals

An RPG developed by Whiskeybarrel studios and eGames.com. You play as a pirate that had their ship wrecked by a mighty storm and end up on an island called Doomtrek. Doomtrek has a brutal arena in which you must defeat other combatants to the death for gold and fame. You use gold to purchase weapons, armor and other necessities that increase your survivability and better the chances of defeating the champions in the arena. The game lets you taunt, beat, shoot, mutilate and, among other things, completely disembody opponents of their limbs and ultimately, their lives. It's quite gory and relentless. If you die, you die. You have to start over. There are other installments of the series which include: Swords and Sandals II: Emperor's Reign Swords and Sandals Crusader Swords and Sandals III: Solo Ultratus Swords and Sandals IV: Tavern Quests Swords and Sandals V: Grail of Antares Swords and Sandals V: Redux Most of the installments of the series are home to many game-breaking glitches. For instance, in the second installment, even on the full version, some players aren't able to save their characters. In Swords and Sandals 4, the game breaks over the simplest of player interaction. The first one, though, is legendary and if you're into rogue-like action RPGs it's definitely worth checking out.
