This is the main protagonist of the game. Barging (with Chariot Wheels or shoulder).Competing in any arena battle unlocks it in the Battle Selection menu this allows the player to replay any arena battle for fun or to increase skill for the harder battles. These ranks unlock many different secret mini-levels, quests and cheats. There are 3 ranks that the player can achieve in arena battles: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. However, most of these are decorations for Octavanius' room and serve only to increase the number of costumes and haircuts that may be unlocked. With Octavanius, the player has the option to collect special silver and gold coins which are used to purchase special and unique items at the City Gates from various merchants. Players must learn to juggle multiple weapons, as well as appeal to the crowd at special moments in order to get new weapons.
No weapons are permanent though,as after extended use, they often break. As the game progresses, the player will find new weapon types and enemies, as well as new arenas. There are 4 chapters which make up the game: "The Wickedness of Men", "Baptism by Fire", "Wrath of the Gods", and "Restoration to Glory". However, once the player beats the game, an Extreme option is unlocked. The player views the the hero in third-person view and there are two difficulty levels, Normal and Hard. The player also controls Agrippa in chariot based races, and battles that took place before he was confined to the arena. These sections take place in the main quarters of the Roman Empire and its vicinity of power. Secondly there are puzzle-solving stealth-based adventure levels where the player takes control of Octavanius, Agrippa's friend, and the newly deceased Caesar's nephew. You start off by competing in weapon-based close combat battles, where the player, Agrippa, fights in several gladiator arenas throughout the Roman Empire. There are 2 main types of game play in Shadow of Rome.
The supposed sequel project to this game (probably due to low sales) was turned into a different themed game with different approach but it retained some of Shadow of Rome's DNA, the game is 2006's Dead Rising. The action also leaves the arena sometimes and cuts to battles that take place in the wild. The story takes place mostly in the gladiatorial arena, but there are several sections that have the player exploring smaller town-like areas, or the inside of Roman Palaces. Shadow of Rome is set in the Julio-Claudian dynasty in the Roman Empire and gameplay alternates between gladiator combat and stealth sections.
