Siegius Arena
Bloodshed, achievements, upgrades, and the adoration of the crowd await in this bloody action-packed hack-and-slasher! As a centurion betrayed by one of his own men, claw your way up from obscurity and evade your fate in the arena. Simple to play and queerly satisfying, Siegius Arena is a little slow and clunky, but still a fun and addictive bit of coffee-break carnage.

I'm really not a fan of the controls allowing for fat finger mistakes costing you whatever item you have a finite supply of. I also don't like that changing direction involves stopping movement to do, when I'm fighting in one direction and it propels me forward to do so, I expose my back, I should be able to turn around more easily and quickly.
Another thing, I have to leave the arena, walk to another screen, then walk to the other 3 screens to get upgrades, then switch to mouse control to do so. Lame. Oh yeah, same steps required to switch up what items you equip yourself with.
Mindless button masher, no real strategy. I agreed with previous comments, using mouse and keyboard is distracting. You end up with too much cash quickly and the upgrades stay locked for too long. Good visuals, but that's about it.
The difficulty ramps up too quickly, in my opinion. Also, while it's an RPG, you have to win rounds in order to unlock stuff, which tends to be a problem if you can't beat those rounds. For example, I've got the best gear of what's been unlocked so far, yet I'm very much having difficulty in beating the round to get to the next set of equipment to unlock, which doesn't do me any good.
