Sharpnel Games gives gamers a taste of their gladiatorial simulation.
Shrapnel Games and Stormcloud Creations announced today the release of a full-featured demo for the upcoming fantasy gladiatorial management sim, Coliseum. The demo can be downloaded from the Shrapnel site at http://www.shrapnelgames.com/stormcloud/coliseum/6.htm.
The demo gives players a taste of what to expect in the full title to be released in December. In terms of features and gameplay elements the demo is almost exactly as the final game will be, with two exceptions. One, the game halts halfway through the fighting season, allowing players to try out twenty days of the forty-day season. Two, players cannot save the game. Other than that the demo and full game are enough alike that you'll be able to walk away with a very informed opinion of what to expect when the full game ships.
Coliseum is a text-based sports management simulation where you attempt to manage a team of gladiators. Coliseum is set in a fantasy world where players can dabble in magically enchanting their fighters, either through eldritch sorcery or bubbling brews.
