Resumen de la comunidad
Texto original · InglésA 2D hand-drawn roguelite platformer by Blobfish (the studio behind Brotato) in which quirky potato-like prisoners fight through procedurally assembled gladiatorial arenas on the alien prison planet Tartarus.
Texto original · InglésSteam players rate it Very Positive (about 90% of roughly 480 reviews), and the people who stick with it praise the tight movement, the variety of characters and the tough, customisable difficulty. It is widely described as an overlooked hidden gem that never found a big audience: the SteamSpy estimate is only 20-50k owners and revenue calculators put it near $118k gross. Critic coverage is very thin. Metacritic has one critic review (But Why Tho, 70/100) and only 4 user ratings averaging 7.8, and I found no OpenCritic entry. It launched in Early Access in October 2019 and hit 1.0 on 10 March 2021, with console and mobile versions following (the Metacritic page lists a May 2023 release on PS4, Xbox One and Switch). Recent Steam reviews from 2025-26 mostly compare it to Brotato, and several ask the developer to revisit and rebalance it, mainly because of slow progression. Note: the web-search quota ran out mid-task, so this is built from Steam data, Steam store and community pages, Metacritic and a revenue estimator rather than a wide sweep of outlets and Reddit.
Lo que elogian los jugadores
- Texto original · InglésButtery-smooth movement and controls; you start with a dash that has i-frames plus a double jump, which players say makes platforming combat feel great
- Texto original · InglésEach of the playable characters (eight per the store page) plays noticeably differently, with easy and hard characters
- Texto original · InglésLarge item pool (300+ weapons, pets and trinkets per the store page) with risk/reward unlocks
- Texto original · InglésDifficulty is customisable and deep; a reviewer with dozens of hours had only cleared the second of five difficulties for most characters
- Texto original · InglésGoofy, charming space-potato humour and hand-drawn art that contrast with grimdark roguelites
- Texto original · InglésStrong replayability and achievement hunting (100+ achievements; some players have 70-190 hours)
- Texto original · InglésVaried levels built from hundreds of hand-crafted rooms, with 50+ enemies and 10 bosses
- Texto original · InglésShort-session charm: many reviewers with 70-190 hours call it a favourite and a hidden gem, with a few rating it as high as 9/10
Lo que critican los jugadores
- Texto original · InglésProgression is slow: you level up and collect items so gradually that runs can feel like a slog before any build comes together
- Texto original · InglésItems feel sparse early in a run, so the game leans heavily on the core combat being fun, which some players find merely okay
- Texto original · InglésSome players found the movement and combat unsatisfying or unhappy-making (short negative reviews)
- Texto original · InglésSteam community describes it as light on content overall
- Texto original · InglésReported technical problems in the forums: the game not launching for some and progress not saving on exit
- Texto original · InglésThe mobile version reportedly does not feel good to play compared with PC or console
Características distintivas
- Texto original · InglésPlays as a potato-style prisoner gladiator in a space prison, with deliberately absurd cast and tone
- Texto original · InglésMix of arena-style combat and platforming with dash i-frames and double jump, closer to Nuclear Throne or Hollow Knight than top-down arena shooters
- Texto original · InglésRisk/reward item unlocks and a five-tier difficulty system with extra difficulty customisation
- Texto original · InglésComes from the same studio as Brotato, so players frequently frame it as the less famous sibling with a very different (platformer) format
- Texto original · InglésRoom-based levels built procedurally from many hand-crafted rooms, plus treasure rooms and merchants
Opiniones divididas
- Texto original · InglésPace of runs: fans call it addictive and balanced, while others find it a slow slog
- Texto original · InglésComparison with Brotato: some see it as underrated, others say it is only decent next to that hit
- Texto original · InglésDifficulty: praised as deep and challenging by veterans, but a barrier for players who want faster payoff
- Texto original · InglésCore combat feel: described as smooth and satisfying by most, unsatisfying by a few
Repetición y obstáculos
- Texto original · InglésSlow levelling that makes the mid-run feel grindy and not worth the time, even for players who enjoy the game
- Texto original · InglésLong runs before item impact is felt, described as boring by a Brotato fan who stopped after minutes
- Texto original · InglésHard characters and upper difficulty tiers can be punishing, even on the easy characters according to one reviewer
- Texto original · InglésUnlock grind for items and achievements is a long haul, though some like it
- Texto original · InglésSave and launch issues mentioned by community posters
Mejoras esperadas
- Texto original · InglésRebalance or speed up levelling and item acquisition so runs reach their payoff sooner (most commonly requested in recent reviews)
- Texto original · InglésA developer revisit or content update; several recent reviewers explicitly ask Blobfish to update the game
- Texto original · InglésMod support to extend content, requested in the Steam community
- Texto original · InglésMore content depth, since some players say it runs out of things to do
- Texto original · InglésClearer explanation of how to unlock higher difficulty (danger) modes
- Texto original · InglésFix launch and save-progress bugs reported in discussions
Texto original · InglésEarly Access in October 2019, full 1.0 on Steam on 10 March 2021 at $14.99. Steam reviews are consistently positive and the game has a small but loyal following; the critic record is almost empty. Metacritic lists a 2023 release on PS4, Xbox One and Switch where But Why Tho scored it 70/100, calling it simple yet satisfying, easy to start and hard to master. The developer Blobfish later became far better known for Brotato, and recent (2025-26) Steam reviews often reference that game and request a rebalance or update. Forum complaints mention launch and save issues and light content. I could not verify a recent patch history, and the Metacritic page may mainly reflect the console release.

Texto original · InglésTier list Part 2 (2024)
Texto original · InglésSpace Gladiators is a 2D action dungeon-crawler roguelike from the developers of Rotato, reusing many of that game's items and characters in a new genre. The gameplay is very basic (whack, dash, jump, or cast spells from range) and can feel slightly clunky, with the real focus on a large pool of items and unlockables. He finds it cute, funny and highly replayable, and thinks many players would love it, but the minimal combat got dull for him. Overall he calls it a good game that just is not for him and places it mid-B.
