Mortal Glory 2 released this past [[link]] week, a tactical battle game about fantasy gladiator teams battling to the death on an arena circuit in pursuit of fortune and fame. It's a vicious game all about making your best attempt, getting further than you thought, dying, unlocking cool new stuff, and then making another [[link]] go of it.
...but there's a ton of variety of weird fantasy species to recruit then mix-and-match with equipment and weapons and potent relics to fight with. There are wizards, vampires, trolls, minotaurs, halflings, dwarfs, dryads—all kinds of weirdo fantasy things to play as are unlocked the further you get into a campaign. There's even a spell called "Detonate Blood" which is obviously metal as hell.
It's also roguelike in structure, so you'll inevitably die and come back at it. The tournament circuit is a randomized tree of fights, events, money, and shops each time. (A big upgrade if you played the first game, which looks similar to but is very different from the first in its deeper particulars.)
