Update: New Weapon Blunt and Solo Map Item Reward Adjustment
Hello, Gladiators!
This update includes new weapon type Blunt, and item reward adjustment for Solo map.
New character will start with an additional sword, which allows them to play with Duel Wield combat style.
New weapon: Blunt (clubs and maces) was added to the game. Blunts will be considered as a weapon for Onehanded/Shielded/Duel Wield combat style. They are better at destroying armors, but weaker in terms of damage, and also heavier/slower.
Item reward from Solo maps were adjusted as following:
- The Lost Diggers: Raw Materials/Mod Recipes
- The Magia Cult: Crude/Normal/Fine Weapons
- The Excalibur: Crude/Normal/Fine Armors
- Borjamel Arena: Raw Materials/Recipes
A bug where a helmet Skull of the Fallen was not visible was fixed.
Thank you for playing Versus!

Numerous bugfixes and improvement
Launching Versus would have been impossible without supports and feedback of Early Access players.
Your harsh but fair and honest feedback made us stay awake, and drove us to the right direction.
We are going to reward Early Access players as following:
Early Access players will be eternalized in the game credits by their character name.*
Early Access players will receive an item "Bounty of the First Gladiators", which includes the following items:
Veteran's Golden Halo: Lv. 1 Mystic Ring, which grants both EXP and Gold boost. It cannot be obtained in-game.
Skill Retraining Ticket: You can reset the skill set of one of your character with this item.
50,000 Gold
500 Ruby (in-game cash worthy of $5)
* If there are multiple characters, the character ranked highest in the leaderboard will be named in credit. If none of them are ranked in the leaderboard, one with highest EXP will be named in credit. Players without characters couldn't be named in credit.
Initially, we were going to send rewards on launch. But we have found a critical bug from Skill Retraining Ticket, and had to delay sending Early Access reward. It will be sent as soon as we fix the issue. Our deepest apologies.
Versus is going to officially launch on August 26th!
Versus: Battle of the Gladiator will come out of Early Access and officially launch on Steam on August 26th!
Netker has been updating the game ever since the Early Access launch. On launch, we are planning to add new maps for both Versus and Solo mode, along with UI/UX improvements including the party system and account-based storage.
An awesome community was formed during Early Access period, which Versus was lucky to have. Early Access players will be added in the in-game credits by their character name, and will be granted other rewards including exclusive items which will not be obtainable after Early Access.
