 Shadow of Rome (Video Game)
comment
A PlayStation 2 Hack and Slash set in Ancient Rome. Julius Caesar has been assassinated, and the father of Roman General Agrippa has been accused.This ultra-fun game is split between combat scenes in various arenas (Agrippa becomes a gladiator, since the winner of eventual games will have the honor of executing Agrippa's father) and stealth scenes where you play as Caesar's nephew Octavianus, trying to unravel the mystery.

Suplex Finisher: The "Human Catapult" Salvo, which is actually a Release German Suplex and deals massive damage. In addition, it can be used to throw opponents from high places or into a pit of spikes.

Octavianus can be killed with a single attack during the stealth missions. Not so in the Syracuse Prison, where you play as Agrippa, while he is controlled by the AI.

Mysterious Employer: The person who is employing Iris and Charmian to help Antonius and it's only vaguely referenced as a female. However, it's heavily implied by them to be none other than the ruler of Egypt, Cleopatra.

Playing with Fire: First you get the target soaked with oil (contained in oil slings and in some barrels), then you attack them with a torch or Arrows on Fire. Later on, you gain access to the Epic Flail that can set things on fire (War Chain) and fire traps that burn enemies standing over them when you press a switch.

Batman Gambit/Gambit Pile Up: Maecenas suspects that Vipsanius is not Caesar's murderer, then he learns that Caesar is still alive, and that Decius killed an impostor under Antonius' orders, who had learned that Caesar was passing him over in favour of Octavianus. He proposes the gladiatorial games as a way of revealing the plot to a wide audience, and introducing the people to the true heir of Caesar, Octavianus.

Gameplay Roulette: Not satisfied with the sudden, often criticized switches back and forth between Hack and Slash and Stealth-Based Game styles, the game also has one part when you play a Driving Game with chariots. Granted, it's still far easier to win it by killing all opponents as the player always does, not to mention the player is forced to do that in the race against That One Boss, but it's still different enough from the rest of the game that it warrants a totally different set of controls.

comment
Improbable Weapon User: Sticks, roses, and severed limbs are all usable as weapons, though roses break in one use and cause minimal to no damage, so, there are better ways to use them. The stealth scenes take it a step further; advancing will often require that you knock people out with jugs, ropes, and the dreaded Banana Peel. The final stages will have you breaking oil jugs for the enemies to slip on, flour to create an opportunity to strike an armored soldier with a jug, and rats and frogs to scare the shit out of women (as well as force the silly guards to follow them and try to console them).

Guide Dang It!
 Shadow of Rome (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: 100% Completion of the Salvo List will require you to guess some very specific Salvos exist, especially the ones that require you to be holding an exact set of weapons (e.g. Dimacheri, though you're likely to bump into this one accidentally). Also, Rolling Thunders are hard to time, so most players don't bother trying to pull them off, let alone figure out the Rolling Thunder based attacks.

Sins of the Father: Sextus ends up being revealed as a traitor later in the game due to being the son of Pompieus/Pompey the Great who was killed by Caesar before he ruled Rome. As such he took on an assassination job from who is implied to be Cleopatra to garner support to destroy Rome and Caesar's legacy as revenge.

So Much for Stealth
 Shadow of Rome (Video Game) / int_7831c048
comment
So Much for Stealth: During the battle against German tribes in the beginning of the game, at one point, Agrippa can sneak up on a German camp whose men are asleep. One step too close and they're awake — the only way you can score a stealth kill there is by throwing a weapon.

Taking the Bullet: Vipsanius takes an arrow for his son when a not so friendly Sextus returns after the tournament and mayhem ensues. Don't worry; he lives. You can also grab a weakened or dizzy opponent from behind and use him/her to shield yourself from arrows and other attacks.

 Shadow of Rome (Video Game) / int_a414c3f0
comment
One-Hit Kill: The Whiplash and Fifty-fifty Salvos. To pull them off, you'll need either a Morningstar/War Chain or a Magnus, and some sharp timing. Octavianus can be killed with a single attack during the stealth missions. Not so in the Syracuse Prison, where you play as Agrippa, while he is controlled by the AI.

Breakable Weapons: All of them — from the big badass Magnus, to the jugs Octavianus can strike guards with. Justified because there has to be some reason why you can't just plow through every stage with a big awesome two-handed weapon that kills every foe with a single charged hit (or, in the stealth stages, any weapon). Also, if they're throwing that stuff to the gladiators, it must mean they've been used more than enough.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story: The game is very loosely based on the Roman Empire roughly around the rise of Emperor Augustus. Knowledge of the time period gives some hints on just who is and isn't out to take out Octavianus also known as the future Augustus.

Video Game Cruelty Potential: The game rewards you for doing terrible things in the arena, so you might as well get it done. Some of the more noteworthy Salvos, in no particular order: No Mercy: Attack an enemy immediately after they begin pleading for their lives. The Fires of Rome: Set an enemy on fire. Stand and Deliver: Pick up a downed enemy and sock him. Heads Up Bonus: Appeal to the crowd while holding an enemies' severed head. Fresh Ham: Throw a severed arm or head into the crowd. Take One For The Team: Force an enemy you are holding to take a hit. Take Some For The Team: As above, but do it several times. Bed of Nails: Throw an enemy into a spike pit. Final Press: Crush an enemy to death in a press while they are pleading for their lives. Fried Chicken: During the fight with Valcross Arcanus, light one of her vultures on fire with oil. Collateral Damage: Run down a slave during a chariot race.

Attack! Attack! Attack!: It doesn't matter if you've broken and/or cut both their arms off thus rendering them unable to use weapons; they will probably still be attacking you. They will also occasionally try to fight you with shortswords and maces in hand while you have a Grand Halberd or Magnus seconds away from slicing them apart. They don't even bother staying out of range (save for bosses occasionally).
