One day, Veleus, was sentenced to fight for his life in Atixa’s Grand Colosseum, run by a powerful mage by the name ‘Parthax’. Veleus fought valiantly, but was severely injured and incapacitated following his defeat.

Press reviews: “A Wonderful Hark Back To A Simpler Time” 8.5/10 – GameRVW “I’ll admit that gaming and I have been in a bit of a weird place lately. Without naming any specifics, I’ve started to feel like “fun” has been pushed aside to make room for flashy lights and shock value. Luckily, Gift of Parthax may have restored my relationship with my favourite hobby.” 4/5 – HeyPoorPlayer “Although the spring levels may not be all that challenging for players depending on their experience with brawlers, the summer season ratchets up the difficulty with alacrity.” 8.5/10 – Gamingcypher
