About COLOSSEUM: ROAD TO FREEDOM

With second century Rome serving as its backdrop, COLOSSEUM: ROAD TO FREEDOM takes gamers back in time and into the sandals of a slave turned gladiator. Players will experience first-hand the thrill of fighting in the violent and often gruesome spectacles of gladiatorial combat. In between battle days, players are taken to the gladiator training ground. There, gladiators will master fighting techniques, earn points, and increase their status by engaging in a rigorous training regimen.

The Colosseum is a world unto itself with many challenges. In the game's six styles of battle, players will fight man and beast, or reenact glorious military victories true to history. Key features of COLOSSEUM: ROAD TO FREEDOM include multiple battle styles, including bouts with tigers and bulls, a weapon and armor purchase and upgrade system, and a dynamic 360 degree fighting system.

COLOSSEUM: ROAD TO FREEDOM has been developed by GOSHOW and has been licensed to Koei Co., Ltd by Ertain Corporation.
