| Patch 2.5.0 is here! | 2020-12-18 | "Son, let me tell you something. Either you can move the wooden block, or you get fired." - John the Butcher, Arena Champion I True story, the real life John the Butcher was my first boss as a teenager and he said this to me. I got fired, so I've dedicated this patch to him. Here's a long overdue update with tons of game balances, bugfixes and finally, achievements! Obviously not everything can be fixed in one hit but I've done my best to fix a bunch of the long standing issues many were having with the game. Let me know what you think of this patch in the discussions - if more things need tweaking, I shall keep at it as obviously I can only |
| Classic Edition Update is here! | 2019-01-23 | Version 2.0 just went up with a few big updates! Hey gladiators, been a while since the last update. I've listened to all of your feedback and while I can't change everything (I'm just a solo developer), I understand many of you miss the old Flash art from the original. Well this update has you covered! Not only is the old Flash art back in the game, but so are the animated shopkeepers. There's also a new tournament which serves as a prelude to the events of Emperor's Reign. It's actually the tournament from Swords and Sandals 1, from way back in the day. You can toggle between classic edition and redux edition in the settings, or when starti |

| Post 1.8.2 is live! | 2018-01-24 | Hey gladiators, just a small patch to address a few issues I found recently. Version 1.8.2: * Fixed a bug where runes of strength, stamina, etc did not allocate a stat point correctly * Updated some quest descriptions to more accurately reflect quest goals * Added low res arenas for devices with low specs (will look more pixelly but you won't see the grey/black screen on arenas) * Fixed a bug where enemy gladiators sometimes timed-out while thinking of their next move May your sandals be sturdy! |

| Swords and Sandals: Official Tome of Lore | 2018-01-14 | Hey gladiators! As some of you may know, the Swords and Sandals series spans over five games and two spinoffs ( Crusader + Medieval ) - with at least two more titles either planned or in development. This, of course, can make for some interesting and confusing timelines and lore! For those of you who are interested in a finding out a little more about the Swords and Sandals universe, I've started writing an official 'Tome of Lore' document. In this document, I've written more about each Arena Champion, what happened to them after the tournament, a little about the famous places and heroes of the world and so on.

| Patch v1.8.0 is up, also Swords and Sandals 5 launched!!! | 2018-01-09 | Hey gladiators! Patch 1.8.0 is now up - huge apologies for the delays. I've been building S&S V in tandem with maintaining this game, so something had to give. There's a ton of small things that have been fixed / improved and balanced. Most importantly * No longer a time limit between turns in the arena. Gladiators can take as long as they need to choose their next move! * Transitions between screens are sped up, levelling up gladiators should feel a lot faster * Some skills have been balanced ( this is a constant work in progress!) * Lots of other small UI changes and bugfixes. Also, a special announcement -Swords and Sandals V has just gone |

| v1.7.5 is live - a big thankyou (and a small update) | 2017-08-26 | Hey everyone! Just a note to say a huge thank you to everyone who has tried the game so far and left feedback, I read every review and try to improve the game as often as I can. I've been away (on honeymoon!) the last month but am back now - about 75% of the way through Swords and Sandals V Redux ( a familiar game to S&S 2 but also features a dungeon crawl - it actually takes off right where S&S 2 finishes ) I'm also continuing to patch S&S 2 when I can. The latest v1.7.5 patch is a small one but includes a few nerfs to bosses who constantly spammed Colossus etc, they should no longer do that ( however, if they do, let me know!) - as well as |

| v1.6.0 is live (Game now runs in windowed mode) | 2017-07-12 | Greetings gladiators! Just wanted to let you know I've uploaded patch 1.6.0 to Steam - it addresses a bunch of bugfixes. PC patch just went up and Mac should be there soon. Most important to many users, the game can be played in a windowed mode. Just go to the Settings screen and click the Window / Fullscreen button to toggle between them. Other fixes include some game balancing, nerfing of the Phalanx skill and a fix for that annoying bug where you could sometimes level up without gaining any stats. As always, thanks for all your feedback and I'll continue to work on improving the game ( as well as develop Swords and Sandals V Redux, due out |
