Will your group like it?

Yes

Pairs who want short sword fights against waves, with a gladiator that improves bit by bit.

No

Anyone who wants to play the campaign as a group, since it's single player, and groups of more than two. It's also not for anyone avoiding blood, since the executions are very graphic.
