Being able to attack different parts of the body is a nice touch, but loses its novelly quickly as you just read all of the armors and attack them in order of easiest to take down, a little more variation in what would be the best spot to attack, maybe through weapon types (e.g.: slashing, blunt, piercing) would be cool.
Having a skill tree is nice, but this one is a bit bland, and confusing. Like Karma Cat said, put in a tooltip for what extra points in skills do, I can't even tell the difference between my 5 points in combo 2x and when i only had one point, other than i can now put points into the next skill. And having each subsequent perk/skill unlocked by putting points into that specific tree discourages variety. You could make each level be a level requirement, and lower the amount needed.
Overall, you need to make information in this game clearer. As is, i give it a 3/5

I love the game, but it needs work. The loot rate is really low, I get about one piece of crappy armor every 5-6 battles, maybe I'm just really unlucky, but you should put in a minimum drop amount or raise the drop rate or something.
What does speed even do? It says makes you attack faster so I assumed it would put you in the attack que more often, proportional to yours and everyone else's speed. But this doesn't seem to the case, as my main with 26 speed (and two points in the +4% speed perk) shows up with the same rate of my slave with 10.
The battles are fun, but they get repetitive quickly, especially when you've already beaten two of the enemies and know you've won, but you still have to kill the guy with the highest armor.

I'd love to see the shield bash block buff last the amount of turns it shows rather than disappearing next turn. On enemies, it lasts 3-5 turns, but when I use it it works like a standard block.

25 Refreshes and 500k later, I now have STRONG SUPERIOUR top tiered (Final City Shops) orange coloured gear in every slot for all my gladiators :D

I've gotten to a point where the game is too glitchy and unbalanced to play. Maybe I'll come back in a few months. Hopefully you'll actually have a functional game by then. :(

The Tarsus goal "Win a combat without losing a gladiator" doesn't seem to be working. I've won many matches with all of my gladiators standing. I also won with all my men standing and no deaths on the other side.

This game needs a hardcore mode: if your gladiator dies, he's dead and you have to replace him from the slave market.

This game is balanced.
Stop moaning about the start, I dont even use metal they suck compared to the Legendary (orange coloured gear) I can buy in Rome

I think it would be great if you changed the reset stats penalty to either be static or based on the level of the character, or at least the compounding penalty should be tied only to each individual character. Knowing that I'm permanently raising the price for all characters is slightly distressing.

Multiplayer would certainly be an interesting addition with plenty of potential, but I think there are still some fundamental flaws (balance, level/money curves, detailed explanations of stats/skills, etc.) that should have a higher priority.

Oh, and please remove the "Do you want to sell/buy THIS?" confirmation. The user's dragging it to the sell/buy area should be confirmation enough.

Can you make it so characters are saved to a database or something, so that we can play across multiple computers, on the same Kongregate account, on the same character.

putting your warriors on auto is great until they hit an opposing decapitated gladiator and bring it back to life. this seems to happen a lot and drags the battles out and causes unnecessary deaths for my own gladiators because they weren't focusing on the correct opponent

why do my people attack in auto-mode dead enemies instead of the only survivor who is attaking them constantly. what's wrong with the ai?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Don't know if others suggested this, but it would be good to know how far along you are in certain goals. For example, if the goal is to cut off twenty arms, how close I am to reaching that goal. (e.g. 13 out of 20)

It would be nice to be able to rename the slaves you buy so that you can create a team with a specific theme besides just the team name and your starting gladiator

Can you please make it so taht speed lets u attack more than once before the other person gets a turn? Otherwise its kinda useless
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I mostly playing in auto mode, which allows me not to control much of the game but let the gladiators decided their next move. It would be nice if Berzerkstudios added a feature such as switching from manual to auto or vice versa during the game. It would be a great feature for SotC since you can't pause or speed up the game. Just a suggestion.

Starts off interesting but is ultimately a boring game. One just keeps pressing Attack-Strong-Chest all the time. No depth. The Slave Market bug makes the game even more tedious.

the coliseum screen is bugged for me, it appears that the game resolution is larger than the frame resolution for that page.

3 teammates, 3 opposite teammates, 1 dead opposite teammate members, 2 alive, 3 gladiators are beating the dead teammate. Grounded,, the dead teammates managed to get on her feet again. 2 others remained untouched by the gladiators. Wow. Unbelievable.

A multiplayer would be excellent. Like most games there is an award for winning them. Maybe 1 bronze per 5 games won? Or maybe An GP award. Just put any award is you ae putting multiplayer please :D

it would be so cool to have some kind of juggernaut perk or something that increases health and size so in the end of the game your going to be one BIG Bad@zz gladiator (but it would probably be something for novelty maybe for solo game play?)
