'Deadliest Warrior: The Game' released on this day in 2010. A fighting game tie-in to the best TV show ever. Pits warriors plucked from various eras of history against one another, where single blows have the potential to end fights. Criticized for a lack of depth in combat.

This was just a worse Bushido Blade, but damn if it wasn't how I wanted Bushido Blade to progress

The concept has so damn much potential. Being able to set up simulations with historically accurate equipment? So much meat there.

I suspect guys from later eras usually had better chances.

I played this in a card shop back in the day. We spent a couple hours doing round robin while the winner stayed. SpikeTV was pretty good: shit like this, UFC, and Star Trek: TNG. I think it became subsumed with Cops like G4, but I can't remember.

Didn’t the show do a tournament and the us army soldier sweep it?

Peak cousin game™️ material

Wasnt this game developer ina feud with Spoony over this game?

Didn't they get into a pissing match with spoony over his review of the game..

For what it was, it was at least a fun 20 minutes every couple of months.

Legends was a blast with friends for an afternoon never played this one
