Description: Arena: Blood on the Sand – virtual action game with exciting mechanics of melee combat. The game takes place in the ancient land of the cursed empire. You play as a rising star of the mystical arena. Make your way to perfection and defeat epic monsters. Gladiators from early childhood were taught the art of combat to challenge an ancient arena, liberate the souls of killed in cursed lands, and conquer all hordes of the evil dark emperor.
Review: If you think Arena: Blood on the Sand VR is going to give you a chance to become a virtual Spartan you are in for a whole load of disappointment. This is a very raw sword swinging game that looks and feels unfinished (probably because it is). While some of the enemies are cool it is the action that lets this game down. There is no way I could recommend this for £3.99 and I would struggle to recommend it for a single quid, but maybe if you get it for cheaper than a quid it might be a laugh to play for 5 mins.
