Every swing is physical.
Laurel & Bone is a gladiator brawler where nothing is canned. You aim each strike, weapons and shields really collide, and a wound changes how the rest of the fight goes.
Find the opening
Aim your attacks, control your distance and get past your opponent's guard. Reach matters. So does the shield in the way.
Back into the arena
In Endless mode you fight until you fall or retire with honour. Gladiators, beasts and changing encounters wait behind the gate. Between bouts you choose equipment, treatment and talents.
Together or against each other
Play solo, team up in local co-op or settle it against a friend in local versus. The practice yard lets you try every weapon first.
