A prototype of Gladius for the PlayStation 2.

Notes

• An NTSC demo build dated six months before the final.
• Seems to be a very limited combat demo.
• The game boots straight into gameplay after an intro video.
• The phrase "GLADIUS PRE-RELEASE BATTLE DEMO" is seen on the left of the screen at all times.
• Problem with first cut scene in emulation. On PS2 TEST, it doesn't even boot; but works fine (including the first cut scene) on the PS2 TOOL.
• Miscellaneous Notes:
  • Game is emulatable (in PCSX2): Issues (as of March 17, 2021).
  • Game contains dongle protection: No.
