Gladihoppers

Looking for a bloody, chaotic, hilarious arena where characters can only move by jumping like grasshoppers? Then Gladihoppers is your perfect match! Gladihoppers is a great blend of classic 2D pixel visuals in a 3D setting, with laugh-out-loud ragdoll physics. Hack and slash your enemies, entertain the Roman Emperor, and try not to lose your own head.

How to play Gladihoppers

Instead of blindly charging into a melee, apply these physics-based and psychological tactics to become the champion of Career mode.

The Tactical Backhop

A fatal mistake for new players is constantly jumping forward and spamming the slash button.

Jump backward at the start of the match. Wait for your opponent to jump at you. When they are in mid-air or have just landed, that's when they can't defend themselves. Unleash a downward slashing blow right to his head.

Javelin Cheese

Never enter the arena without a throwing weapon.

Before engaging in close combat, take advantage of the distance to throw your spear. Don't throw randomly! Wait for your opponent to change their stance or prepare to jump to Hitbox Geometry

In Gladihoppers, the location of your slash determines the amount of health your opponent loses.

Many AI fighters wear chest armor and helmets and are incredibly tough, but their legs are bare. Switch to Low Stance, use weapons like maces or axes, and continuously slash at their legs. Your opponent will lose health rapidly, and their expensive upper armor won't help.
