Gladiator combat has been revived in this new age. while trying to maintain the spirit of the original roman gladiator combat, something new has been thrown into the mix of blood and brawn..
Mutagens.
these mutagens are added to the combatants by the event staff, there is a long list of current "Modifications" you can add to your teams fighters or add to the enemy teams fighters, not all of them are beneficial though, the spectators can pay for mutagens of their choice to be used, or the combatant himself can earn them by putting on a good show.
using a procedural animation system each mutagen will change something about the fighters
some examples of mutagens are as follows:
-Long arm of the law:
The combatants arms grow 3 meters long and in order to fight they must flail their arms around wildly. lasts 60 seconds.
-You know what they say about big feet...
The combatants feet grow comically large making it hard for the combatant to move or dodge around the arena.
-big brains?
the combatants head grows 3 times its size and now makes it difficult to stand let alone keep balance.
-Pool party!
the combatants weapon turns into a pool noodle.
-gravity check
turn the gravity in the arena higher or lower depending on your mood.
-Polymorph
for 20 seconds you can turn any combatant into a random animal, it is truly random and does not mean you will always turn your opponent into something harmless..
-sugar rush
movement speed increased by 800%
AND MANY MORE
this is a multiplayer game and you can have turns being the combatants or the spectators, win money by defeating enemies or winning bets. you can use money to buy mutagens.
