Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Hack and slash/Beat 'em up
Themes:Action, Historical
Game modes:Single player
Story:Taken into slavery, you are now a gladiator. Your only chance at freedom is to earn enough money in the arena to buy yourself back. Whether in a lowly arena on the outskirts of the Empire or in the Colosseum itself, a wide variety of opponents await: heavily armed charioteers, wild bulls, fellow gladiators and more. In a series of battles, from battle royales to one-on-one duels, you must entertain the crowds by spilling blood.
After battles, it's time to train. A series of minigames improves your attributes and your diet perfects your body. Study your rankings, play around with your special skills, and await the next battle.
Colosseum: Road to Freedom is a self-described Action RPG, controlled in the third-person and works as a gladiator simulator.Show more

This game is basically a gladiator simulator, it was released on the ps2 and it had several issues with the save data, since it would´t save, but trust me when I say that this game was and is awesome, I really hope this game gets a chance.
This game has almost no chance of ever being resurrected; an obscure PS2 exclusive gladiator simulator, originally titled "Gladiator: Road to Freedom" in Japan—obviously changed for western markets to avoid copyright issues with the film—that only ever accumulated modest sales and was quickly forgotten about. But it lives on in the memories of those who played it.
There is actually an upgraded version of this title called "Remix". If GOG somehow ever manages to get this game ported to PC I would love to have the Remix version officially translated into English, as it was never released outside of Japan. Thankfully most of the translation work is already done since the work done on the original could simply be applied to the Remix version.
Anyway, this game has a somewhat niche appeal but is incredibly fun with a fairly deep combat system. You play as a gladiator in an attempt to gain enough fame and fortune to earn your freedom from being a slave, which you have to do within a certain time limit of in-game days before reaching the conclusion.
I love that the game has dynamic combat, where you can lose your weapons mid-fight and have to resort to desperate measures, using anything you can scavenge from the battlefield to defeat your opponents. It truly captures the desperation and struggle to survive as an arena combatant and makes victory feel absolutely glorious—like you overcame the odds in a desperate struggle for survival.
If my memory is correct, the game has multiple endings based on your decisions in the story and performance as a gladiator, and it has high replay value due to its character creator. I originally bought this game back near launch, and I'm pretty sure I bought one of the only few copies released in my area. It's a pipe dream that this will ever get ported and released, but this is the "dreamlist" after all, isn't it? I'm simply doing my part in helping to see the games I love get a second lease on life and the attention they deserve.
This game was epic and the best of the gender, this game should be remember as the fathers in the video game history.

Wolfenstein RPGWolfenstein RPG is a first-person shooter and role-playing video game developed by id Software and Fountainhead Entertainment, released in September 2008 for mobile phones and in May 2009 for iOS. In 2013 the game was removed from App Store.
The gameplay follows the recipe from Doom RPG as it is shown in the first person while being a turn-based role-playing game rather than a shooter and puts emphasis on the plot. Combat and movement are turn-based, allowing the player time to select their responses in combat. The player turns at 90 degree angles and moves space by space. One step or action by the player allows all other characters in the area to take one step or action themselves. The game takes advantage of its deliberately slow pace, encouraging players to take their time and check out every little corner, read the books on every bookshelf, and destroy all the furniture to see if anything is hidden within. Levels include underground passages and weapon development laboratories plus a level involving a moving vehicle.
The game also includes two mini games: the card game War as well as Chicken Kicking, where the player is awarded points for kicking a chicken into a score area.Action Historical
