Gameplay

''Bloodsports.TV'' features a departure from the squad-based real-time strategy gameplay of ''Krater: Shadows Over Solside'', and replaces it with that of an MOBA. The player takes control of one of a number of Gladiators, alone or together with up to 4 other players, and loads into an arena. After a short time, waves of enemies will come out and the Gladiators will have to defeat them. After all outlaws are defeated, the players have a short time to restore their health, purchase upgrades, and do side-objectives. Then the next waves comes. At waves 4, 7, and 10 there is a special boss wave. The game features 5 difficulty levels (Amateur League, Pro League, Master League, and Apocalympics) with several sub-difficulties for each level. The game also features 4 different game lengths; 4 waves, 7 waves, 10 waves, and Endless Mode.
