GAME FEATURES

JUMP BACK TO TOP

Get ready to re-learn how to fight. This game features a physics based combat system with directional attacks. It'll take time to master! Don't worry, gladiators exist to be sacrificed. You control your character fully, at all times, based on complex inputs - you will never sit there while an animation plays.
This game's combat will take practice: at first you will find it hard to even hit anything properly. To win and master combat you will have to slow down and pay attention, pressing random buttons in a panic will only send your gladiator to an even earlier grave. You will learn how to move, how to use momentum to hit HARD, how to hit targeted weak spots and eventually, you will make up your own moves and fight in your own style.
Take control of a gladiator with a single life, that you lead to an inevitable dea-- I mean, to victory and glory! Fight from the Pits to the Arena into the Stadium, pleasing larger and larger crowds until you finally become a legend of the Grand Stadium.
There are many roads to becoming champion. Try different approaches and improvise through the randomisation to survive in the long run.
Deal with random events, choose your next matches, please the rich patrons, please the crowds, expand your school, setup your training regime, bribe for information, hire professional help... and much more!
Progress and purchase/loot weapons and armor. Master 8 weapon classes that all play differently. Spend hard earned gold and influence and outfit your character piece-by-piece.
Step into over a dozen arenas of different sizes and styles, each with random variations. Fight in group battles or take on tense one-on-one duels that test your skills. How long can you last before your inevitable glorious death?
Starting backstories with different traits and goals
Permanent bonuses for each backstory's victory
Dynamic audiences that respond to your actions. Don't just win: entertain!
A ranking system with rewards (levelling up)
Character skills that grow as you perform the relevant actions
And much, much more!
