GamePro got a chance to spend some time with a playable demo of LucasArts� turn-based arena combat RPG Gladius, which is slated for release on all major consoles this summer. Following a period of bloody wars that rocked the land of Gladius, a tenuous peace prevails and all disputes are settled within the confines of Imperial gladiator arenas. Hither come two warriors�Ursula from the North and Valens, each on a quest to keep the world from plunging into another age of darkness and bloodshed.The game's turn-based combat showcased some cool strategy elements�where you position your character in relation to an opponent can yield tactical advantages, as can certain environmental factors. A swing meter determines the strength of an attack, and by hitting different buttons at the right times you could execute combos that can inflict heavy damage. Keep an eye out for more information in upcoming issues of GamePro.
Note: All screens shown are from the PlayStation 2 version.
