Flash games have had a ton of different genres, some of which were fully original to them. For instance, the "trainer" genre was one that really took off in the Flash game industry. This genre-focused around training a character's stat up so it can defeat its opponents in automated combat. While it's not automatic, the Swords and Sandals series. Let's look at the first Swords and Sandals game.

To play Swords and Sandals, just run it with whatever SWF player you have.

This game has one of the best gameplay loops around. You create your gladiator who has the goal of taking over the gladiator's arena. He has a number of statistics that all affect his performance in the arena. He starts off with nothing but a loincloth. You have to defeat enemies in the arena to earn money and purchase better gear.

After defeating some enemies in the arena, you will level up and gain stat points for you to invest. These stats aren't exactly balanced, however. Investing points in strength and attack are some of the most efficient stats to have, as you can always wait for the opponent to approach you and then destroy him quickly in melee combat.

All in all, however, this is a fantastic entry into the series. Swords and Sandals is an incredibly addicting game.
