StickSkills said, "Clan of Champions first released in Japan this time last year under the name Gladiator Vs. It was met with enough popularity to justify a move to American consoles, following the trend of the series’ previous games Colosseum: Road to Freedom and Gladiator Begins. This one follows a slightly different storyline, taking place in a pseudo-post-apocalyptic environment in which humans, orcs, and elves are in a constant struggle to control land. Naturally, when the factions hear of an abandoned town with powerful artifacts, they can’t resist going to investigate. This is a fun idea in theory, but without solid gameplay to rest upon, it falls apart."
Various NISA titles have received a price drop on PSN,including titles like Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory and The Guided Fate Paradox,
John Whitehouse writes: I find it amazing that games of this quality are still released on a console that is over six years old. Surely by now the developers have got a grasp of the whole ‘making a game’ thing, and even if the content isn’t great, the game will still have a certain level of polish. Not so, if NIS’ Clan of Champions is anything to go by.
Japanator: "Clan of Champions was released by NIS at the end of October this year, featuring the vague plot of conquering evil-doers at a previously abandoned castle town. In this game, you get to build a character and beat the snot out of all kinds of baddies, gank all their gear (and upgrade your own with it), and then fight some more baddies. All in the most spectacularly satisfying ways possible."
