The games basic premise is that you are a gladiator; There are creatures and other people that want to kill you. It's a basic premise that every single game, big or small, usually follows to some extent. The entire game revolves around fighting in arenas through a regular deathmatch or capturing kegs. So with this basic scheme that has been done before is it really worth it?"
Dealspwn reviews five Indie games that slipped under the radar last year.
Creed Arena is an indie game that tries to be a retail game, and actually does a good job of it. The game may not look polished in certain places, and suffer from a number of small errors, but it does manage to capture what multiplayer gaming is all about.
It has that old-school feel that reminds me of my early days on Goldeneye and Red Faction. Sure, the genre has come on leaps and bounds since then but the core mechanics are the same. Capturing the fundamentals of good multiplayer gaming is something that even the high financed games have often failed to do. You want something that is easy to pick-up and fun enough to make you play more.

Creed Arena pits you, the player, in Gladiatorial showdowns in a futuristic tournament, and politely asks you to destroy your enemies with a variety of weapons across numerous game types."
