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 a few other tiny fixes. Game is always a WIP so if you see things, let me know and I'll try and squash the bugs.

Just for fun I also added some billboards in the game ( football stadium-style ) that appear in the Arena and the town, advertising the blacksmith, or famous gladiators etc. Funny enough , this actually happened in ancient Rome too - gladiators endorsed things and became celebrities!

If the billboards in the arena are a bit much for you , you can turn them off in the SETTINGS screen ( as well as set the game Full-Screen etc )

Cheers and thanks again, much more S&S to come in 2018.

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…
