released on Apr 18, 2019
"Gladiator ... gladiator ... gladiator ... Swords and Sandals, Gladiatorrrrr!"If this refrain means anything to you, then you grew up playing the legendary Swords and Sandals turn based combat game series. These games have been played over half a billion times, and for good reason.

I used to play this game as a kid in the browser, and in retrospective, it was quite violent...? lol!
Legendary
Legendary game series from my childhood.
you're the cool kid if you finished any of the game
Flash game, great for its time, done
I'd review each game in the collection separately if I could, but Backloggd seems to be missing the first one. So, in short:
Sword and Sandals 1 - Is pretty good but very short in content compared to the 2nd entry.
Sword and Sandals 2 - Great and definitely the best game out of the collection. Much like the 1st one except there's more content and much more progression.
Sword and Sandals 3 - A truckfest. We got lasers, guns, and all the random shenanigans... not good.
Sword and Sandals 4 - Somewhat interesting for a table game. Good enjoyable addition.
Sword and Sandals Crusader - A strategy turn-based game this time commanding an army instead of a singular unit. Fairly enjoyable.
Sword and Sandals Mini Fighters - Sword and Sandals 2 but with miniature fighters. Haven't beaten this one but all that's changed it seems is the visual design of the game, which is made to look as if the developers made a SS game that has crossed paths with My Little Pony. It is not good or at least doesn't look pleasing to the eye.
Gross out - Some spinoff that wasn't really all that great.
All in all, I bought the collection solely for the 2nd game of the series. Somewhat enjoyed 4 and Crusader but if I had to rate the whole collection it'd be a 4/10.
