An RPG developed by Whiskeybarrel studios and eGames.com.
You
play as a pirate that had their ship wrecked by a mighty
storm and end up on an island called Doomtrek.
Doomtrek has a brutal arena in which you must defeat other combatants to the
death for
gold and fame. You use
gold to purchase weapons, armor and other necessities that increase your survivability and better the chances of defeating the champions in the arena.
The
game lets you taunt, beat, shoot, mutilate and, among other things, completely disembody opponents of their limbs and ultimately, their lives. It'
s quite gory and relentless. If you die, you die. You have to start over.
There are other installments of the series which include:
Swords and Sandals II: Emperor's Reign
Swords and Sandals Crusader
Swords and Sandals III: Solo Ultratus
Swords and Sandals IV: Tavern Quests
Swords and Sandals V: Grail of Antares
Swords and Sandals V: Redux
Most of the installments of the series are
home to many
game-breaking glitches. For instance, in the second installment, even on the full version, some players aren't able to save their characters. In Swords and Sandals 4, the
game breaks over the simplest of player interaction. The first one, though, is legendary and if you're into rogue-
like action RPGs it's definitely worth checking out.
Guy1: "Swords and Sandals is the worst
game that I've ever enjoyed."
Guy2: "Real shit. First time I played it I thought it was one of the ugliest games I've ever played but for some reason, I couldn't
stop until I slaughtered the last
champion."
