I played AURE and I agree with some of the points already mentioned here.

I played two fights, one in manual mode and one in automatic.

The core idea is good and feels fresh. I haven’t seen a gladiator game where you’re the one watching and supporting instead of fighting yourself. What I liked most were the character animations. They’re slow but impactfull, and so every hit has real feel to it. Showing attacks and blocks as slot machine reels also works really well and fits the theme.

The biggest issue for me was the UX at the start, before the first fight. As Nadatarama mentioned, you read on the left and click on the right. At first I didn’t even notice that I was supposed to read the text on the left. On my laptop I also had to scroll down to see the whole page. These are small things, but they shape the first impression a lot.

The tutorial would work better if it guided you step by step through actual gameplay. Right now you click through pages of text and have to click again to get all the information, and by the time the fight starts most of it is forgotten.

Overall I think the core idea is strong, but it still needs a lot of polishing, mostly on UX and onboarding. I’d be happy to try it again once that’s tighter. Good luck with the development!

I went in open minded, but I struggled to like this. It felt very AI-generated in a negative way: wordy and with weird UX. It starts off with dialogue to read on the left and buttons to press on the right. It goes into a very lengthy description of the combat rules, and before you can grasp them, gratefully, it offers an automatic option, where the voice narration can't pronounce the gladiator names. The combat itself is clean, which is... fine, I think, but there's no real difference that I immediately detected between a hit that connects and one that doesn't from the swinger's perspective. So now I'm trying to follow the sword combos above, the result of the fight below, ignore the voice, and... that's kind of where I gave up. But as per the comment below, it's clearly someone's cup of tea, even if it isn't mine. Sorry I don't have more to offer, but I do suggest cleaning up the UX which has all that intro dialogue so far from where the clicking happens, with separate text to read on each half.

The game is beautiful! I appreciate the mood-setter in the beginning, meeting the 10k gold girl. 

At first, I thought I would play a Swords and Sandals copy but quite directly understood you really brought your own original ideas. I like being someone betting on the gladiators for once!

The strongest suggestion for improvement that I have is the introduction/tutorial part, which is very wordy in my opinion. I found myself getting lost in all the details and forgot them as I started playing the game for real. I think the intro could be cut to half or a third in text length. You don't have to explain everything, just basic principles such as "more swords in your roll is better", etc. Ideally that would be matched with some actual gameplay to really make it stick. 

A couple of small things I noticed as well! Unos frases no son traducidos a inglese! The canvas suddenly didn't fit on my screen (laptop) in the middle of the tutorial, and I had to scroll to see all UI components. I also don't know if you're supposed to have infinite support but I used my support a lot in gameplay!

Cool concept, and I'd like to play it again when the description and UI is tighter!

Hey! I gave your game a try!

I have to admit I struggled a bit to understand what was going on and what I was actually supposed to do. The main issue for me was the UI. It feels a bit like an AI-generated dashboard rather than a game interface, with too much text and too many elements competing for attention.

I think simplifying the interface, making the main actions more obvious, and adding a short interactive tutorial would help a lot. Some animations or clearer visual feedback during fights could also make the experience more engaging.

Right now, I feel like the presentation makes the game harder to understand than it needs to be.

So essentially it is a slot machine prototype for some sort of crypto gambling stuff :)
It can do the trick but you would need to add a lot of great looking 2D or even 3D animations.
The AI interface is cluttered for my taste. It feels like I'm at some sort of sports betting website rather than in a game. But I don't know. Maybe it is okay.
I would add some online elements to it. Where players place their bets on scheduled fights. So during that fights they can spend their "something" on gladiator buffs/heals/etc.
