Spartacus Legends Will Be Free-to-Play

Spartacus Legends Will Be Free-to-Play

The free-to-play revolution continues

Written by Lexual on 08 September 12 at 18:03

Following in the footsteps of Ascend: New Gods and Happy Wars, Ubisoft has recently announced that Spartacus Legends, the upcoming fighting game that follows the journey of gladiators from their training to combat in the arena and based on the popular TV series, will now be a free-to-play XBLA title.

As well as all these details, we’ve also been treated to a new selection of screens for the game, as well as a new trailer.

Looks quality in screens.
Suspect it'll be boring as anything to actually play.

That is unless they supplement the core experience - bring animals into the fights, different ranges of weaponry...anything that extends it above a simple button-masher slasher fighter thing.

Why don't I believe this? Last time they 'claimed' something was free they turned them into full retail games or sneakly added a price tag later down the line.

Free to Play just means Microtransactions. Wasn't that game Crimson Alliance Free to Play also? Yeah.

what exactly does free to play mean ?

I mean once you buy a game they are all free to play unless its something like WOW where you need to pay for servers

Free to download and play is something else

I hate Ubisoft, but this is FREE so I won't be supporting them in large ways if I do play this.

Micro transactions tends to be very expensive, so i refuse to buy a game this way.
I will play to unlock some achievements for free, then delete the game.

Hopefully it was a typo and it's this year lol

If this is free to play will it have achievements or will I need to pay mspoints to complete it? If so then screw that!!!!
