You play as a Spartan warrior in Spartan: Total Warrior , set in the epic battle between Sparta and Rome, where your freedom is at stake.
The game features fast-paced, arcade-like mission-based gameplay, where you must complete minor objectives such as killing enemy generals, escorting sappers to destroy siege equipment, and preventing the enemy from crossing into your territory. The storyline unfolds through cutscenes shown between each mission.
Your success in these missions earns you "tokens", which can be used to upgrade your character's health, damage, or power. As you progress, you'll unlock special moves that can be learned throughout the game. Some of these moves gain their powers from the Spartan gods, granting you an edge in combat. You can also find various weapons such as swords, bows, spears, and shields to aid you in battle.
