The Gladiator

Dreadhunter has always been mainly a twin-stick shooter. But after the melee combat rework, we’re introducing a variety of melee-focused item variations that finally make melee a fully viable option!

Check out the items below, collect them all, and brawl with dreads like never before!

Happy Holidays!!!
