Spartacus is one of the better entries in Ultimate Games’ stable of Switch releases, although, given the publisher’s track record, that’s not saying much. Given Spartacus’ Roman origins, it feels both accurate and suitable to compare it to a fancy pizza: it’s quite good, but it could’ve done without the extravagant toppings.

- 6.0Swords and Sandals: Spartacus is a great entry into the long-running series, however its issues are glaringly apparent. While its level design missteps can make the experience frustrating at times, its swiftly responsive gameplay and Ancient Rome setting makes it an enjoyable time overall, with the caveat of not playing on a hard difficulty.
