Last week, GameSpot checked in on LucasArts' Gladius to see how production was going. Seemingly impressed by what they saw, the article points out some of the more promising aspects of this RPG.
... while combat is obviously a core element of the game, Gladius will be a multifaceted package.

The game's story will be told through two narratives: one that focuses on Ursula, the daughter of a barbarian king, and another that focuses on Valens, the son of a great gladiator.The article also goes on to discuss the battle system as well as who will be providing voice overs for the characters. Mmmm, Linda Cardellini...
