Hey gladiators, this is a small maintainence patch for Swords and Sandals IV.

When Steam updated its UI recently, it broke compatibility with the S&S Classic Collection - I've been able to fix that, let's hope this fix doesn't open the floodgate to other issues! I think it should be alright, I tested all the games and the Steam Overlay shows up again.

Also a small fix for enemy gladiators in S&S IV appearing to have no armour/weapons.

Thanks as always for your continued support of this ancient and hallowed series, haha :)

I've taken a break from the series for a little while ( as I've been working on the remakes, sequels, spinoffs pretty much non-stop since 2016 ) to work on my new game Tower Shield but I hope to return to Brandor in the days ahead!

Cheers, Oliver Joyce

By far one of the S&S questions I am asked most is "When are you going to do a remake of Swords and Sandals III?" (The other question I always get asked is "What's up with the S&S 2 comma glitch, was that on purpose?" - nope, that was just the work of shoddy programming!) I'm thrilled to at last be able to announce a Swords and Sandals III remaster is in the works…Major update24 Jul 2024Fan Mods arrive in the Classic Collection!Greetings gladiators, and welcome to version 1.5 of the Swords and Sandals Classic Collection !
