Gladiators of the Underworld Windows, Mac, Linux game

The story

For ages, gladiators have been competing in the underworld arena. You are a Necromancer and you need to prove yourself in battle against the most foul creatures, including Demons, Warlocks and Grim Reapers.

Weapons

From the start, you have a skeleton staff which you can use as a ranged weapon by shooting fireballs. It can also be used as a melee weapon, by striking your opponents. You can also perform a force push attack, by slamming it into the ground.

Furthermore you can obtain special weapons like bombs and lightning to attack your opponents with more devastating force. You can also get a hold of the flying demonic skull, that will help you in battle by flying out to, and attack all enemies in the arena.

Abilities

The game features multiple enemies who get stronger as you progress in the rounds. They will improve on the following abilities: Melee, Ranged, Speed and Toughness.

You can also increase your abilities as you progress through the rounds. Next to the Melee, Ranged, Speed and Toughness abilities, you have two additional abilities: Forcepush and Magic. After two rounds of battle, you'll be taken to the upgrade screen, where you can choose one ability to upgrade. The abilities start at level 1 and run al the way up to level 8.

Forcepush
The Forcepush ability determines the size and impact of the shockwave that your staff creates when you slam it to the ground.

Magic
The magic ability determines how much magic is needed to use a weapon that requires magic, and the speed at which your magic will recover after usage.

Melee
The melee ability determines how much damage you do to your opponents when you strike them with your staff.

Ranged
The ranged ability determines the speed your fireballs travel at and the amount of damage they do to your opponents.

Speed
The speed ability determines your walking speed.

Toughness
The toughness ability determines the amount of damage you will suffer from your opponents attacks.

Pickups

When you kill an enemy, it could give you a heart that will recover some of your health. It can also give you a gemstone that will recover all of your magic.

Multiplier

Whenever you kill an enemy, your score multiplier goes up by one and a countdown will start, if you manage to kill another enemy within the countdown time, your score multiplier will go up again. If you don't kill within time, it drops back to one. This way, you'll get a score reward for killing multiple enemies in a row.
