A mixed review from someone who actually enjoyed the game – Swords and Sandals 5 Redux Review

The game was a big part of my childhood! It’s great to see that it was converted into a mobile game. I didn’t mind the dungeon part of the game and there were a couple bugs/ typos here at there. Overall would highly recommend to friends interested in this genre of games because this franchise has done extremely well over the years. Saying that, I did have some major issues with the game... Some of the quests definitely felt like chores and the ones where the player was required to fork over copious amounts of gold for convoluted quests were infuriating!! One bug/typo I encountered while playing was when the player is required to pay 40,000 gold to HeChaos for war funding. At the time, it was a lot of gold for the level I was at!! And then later the game said that the payment was only supposed to be 10,000 gold.... Some of the ailments encountered such as vampirism or poison were so punishing while in the dungeons I ended up avoiding those features all together. The arena champions being animals or monsters was kind of a let down for me as well, I was hoping to fight those unique formidable gladiators that the games are centered around. There were other little things here and there but once again this game was fun and amazing aside from all the problems and I wouldn’t take the time to write this if I genuinely did not like the game. The last major complaint for me is THE COMPLETE LACK OF VALUE AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE MAIN STORYLINE THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTS NO MORE BATTLE PIT BATTLES NO DUNGEON FREE-ROAM WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH MY GLADIATOR AFTER EVERYTHING IS COMPLETED AND I HAVE NOTHING LEFT
