Rise as a Dominus
Rome thirsts for blood.
Take control of a gladiator school, recruit men from the markets, forge them into gladiators, and prepare them for the brutal arenas of Rome. Build your Ludus, manage your roster, and make decisions that can mean life or death on your road to becoming Rome’s greatest Dominus.
Will your gladiators become champions… or die forgotten before the crowds of Rome?
Blood in the Arena
Watch savage duels and team battles unfold in brutal auto-battler combat.
Train, equip and prepare your gladiators before they enter the arena, then watch your decisions play out in blood. One mistake can cost a gladiator his life.
Choose Your Dominus
Six Domini compete for prestige, power, and survival.
Choose one to lead, then face the others one by one through a deadly 160-day tournament. Each rival Dominus has their own strengths, methods, and ways of disrupting your Ludus as you fight your way toward the grand final.
In Rome, only one name will be remembered.
Build Your Ludus
Your Ludus is the heart of your gladiator school.
Expand it with new facilities, train your gladiators and develop their skills. Manage morale, injuries and fatigue as you decide who needs rest, who is ready to fight, and who can be pushed further.
A well-run Ludus creates champions. A careless one buries them.
The Slave Market
The markets of Rome are filled with desperate men and future champions.
Recruit new gladiators, spot hidden potential, and strengthen your roster as the battles grow deadlier. Every gladiator brings different strengths, weaknesses, and possibilities.
Arm Your Gladiators
Equip your gladiators with weapons and armor suited to their role in the arena. The right gear can mean the difference between victory and death.
Win the Crowd
The crowd is ruthless, and Rome remembers spectacle.
Win their favor and they may turn the arena to your advantage. Turn them against you and the crowd can become another enemy. In Rome, survival is not decided by steel alone.
Become a Legend
Only the greatest schools will produce champions worthy of Rome.
Build your Ludus, prepare your gladiators, overcome rival Domini, and survive the bloody road to the final championship.
Glory awaits in the arena.
