Horrible Histories: Ruthless Romans

Horrible Histories: Ruthless Romans is a mix between an adventure and a party game based on one of the roman volumes of Horrible Histories, a series of books by author Terry Deary and illustrator Martin Brown. In this game the player takes up the role of a young gladiator called Rassimus who is making his way through Rome. In order to obtain his freedom, the player has to defeat seven types of gladiators having a different fighting style each.

In the Story Mode the player has to pass the three minigames linked to each one of the gladiators and has to do some plot quests solving other minigames. The navigation section - in which Rassimus explores Rome, talks to other characters and interacts with the scene - presents a third-person perspective with a mobile camera. On the other hand the minigames section has a 2D fixed camera scene, so that other players can join the minigame and help Rassimus to pass it. The whole game needs only the use of Wii Remote controller.
