DESCRIPTION

Colosseum: Road to Freedom is an arena combat game set during the height of the ancient Roman empire, when grim warriors would fight to the death for the amusement of thousands of fickle spectators. Players take the role of Narcissus, a self-assured gladiator who appears far less self-absorbed than his mythological antecedent, and who has made it his life's quest to avenge the destruction of the small village where he lived as a child. The story begins as Narcissus trains in the ways of the warrior, learning new skills as he collects better weapons and more protective armor pieces. By the time he encounters Empereor Commodus, the master of the coliseum, Narcissus is ready to prove his mettle on the battlefield. Match types include duels, team battles, beast fights, and last-man-standing bouts. Two-player combat is supported in most modes of play. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
