Agrippa can whip his horses to give a speed boost, but doing so drains the horses stamina gauge. In this mode, Agrippa must race against other chariots, and can win by either crossing the finish line first, or eliminating all of his opponents, either by killing them or destroying their chariots. The other component of Agrippa's sections in the game involves chariot racing. At the end of each arena battle, Agrippa will be given a ranking based on the total number of salvo points he achieved in that battle. If he calls for their attention when it is not full, they will throw normal weapons, shields, food, or often, nothing at all. If Agrippa calls for the attention of the crowd when the bar is full, the audience will throw him rare and powerful weapons. When Agrippa performs a salvo action, he is awarded salvo points, which fill up the salvo bar. His salvo meter is on the bottom right of the screen.Īn important aspect of the combat gameplay are "SALVO points." Salvos are specific actions or combinations of actions which excite the crowd. Agrippa has just cut both of his opponent's arms off, earning the "Disarmed" salvo. If Agrippa stands behind a groggy enemy he can perform a suplex on them. He can also attack from the ground by flinging sand into an approaching enemy's face, and he can attack downed enemies by stomping on them or stabbing them. If timed correctly, Agrippa can also steal weapons from his enemies, or knock their weapons out of their hands using a shoulder tackle.
Agrippa can also throw weapons at his enemies, and can fight with his fists, using strong and soft punches as well as shoulder tackles. The player can lock on to enemies to make Agrippa target them. Agrippa can attack with his main weapon, his sub-weapon or shield, or with a two-handed weapon. During combat, a meter indicates the remaining vitality of Agrippa's weapon(s) and helmet (if he has one equipped). However, weapons can only be used for a certain amount of time before they break. If Agrippa has severed the arm of an enemy, he can pick it up and also use it as a weapon. ĭuring combat, the player character is Agrippa, who can use various gladiatorial weapons such as swords, scimitars, maces, spears, bows, slingshots and flails. Stealth gameplay is also included alongside rudimentary puzzle-solving. The game features two forms of combat melee-combat which involves close combat with melee weapons, and vehicular combat that comes in the form of chariot racing. Shadow of Rome is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective. However, due to poor sales, particularly in North America, executive producer Keiji Inafune decided to scrap the franchise, and Shadow of Rome 2 ultimately became Dead Rising. Originally conceived as the first part of a franchise aimed at a specifically western audience, the sequel was in the early stages of development when the first game was released.
The plot is a fictionalized version of the assassination of Julius Caesar, focusing on two characters, Agrippa, a soldier whose father is accused of murdering Caesar, and who is forced to fight in the gladiatorial arenas, and Octavianus, who sets about proving Agrippa's father's innocence. The game was released in Europe and North America in February, and in Japan in March. Shadow of Rome is a 2005 action-adventure game developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation 2.
