First Archimpressions: Spartacus Legends

 AKA Gladiator Manager 2013.
 Spartacus Legends is a Free to play fighting game based on the show of the same name(Minus the legends part). Actually, it's based on the first season of the series, Blood and Sand, as it's all about the Gladiators. Fights are fought one on one, and the fighting feels a bit... loose. Moves come up fast, and every now and then the action slows down, like the show, which is kinda cool.
 You don't create your Gladiator however, instead you buy them at the streets, as slaves. Better slaves are more expensive, and eventually you'll be able to get "Legendary" gladiators from the show, like Crixus. Although there's no Create-a-Gladiator, you do choose their equipment, all which must be bought. Money is easy to come by, as you earn it even if you lose a battle, and you get some free gold(The real money currency) too.
 The graphics are pretty alright, and some of the executions are downright gruesome, fitting for a Spartacus game. Armors and stages are based on their counterpart on the TV series, which is really cool. Even some of the movements are reminicent of moves from the series.
 All in all, it's an average game, nothing too astounding, yet a decent time waster.
