Fans of the series will find all their favourite gladiatorial combat, as well as a whole lot of new features. For the first time, players can manage multiple gladiators, building them up individually. Coming shortly, players will name and run their own gladiatorial ‘House’ and compete for honours against other houses. In addition to fighting arena foes, gladiators must also complete quests, battling dragons and scorcers, navigating dungeons and mazes, to increase their levels and gain strength, intellect, dexterity and endurance.

Currently in single player mode, the new title will soon introduce multi-player combat with Facebook Connect integration, allowing players to challenge both their friends and other players within the game.

Swords and Sandals V is free to play and features a virtual currency where players earn ‘Gold’ and ‘Gems’ as they progress. They can also increase their weapons and strengthen their armour with in-game purchase of Gems using PayPal or credit card.

Swords and Sandals V is the latest in the RPG series which includes six other web and dowload titles plus an iPhone version. It can be played on swordsandsandals.com
