7 itemsAbout the Game
Gladiators Manager is a game set in the ancient Roman Empire that leads you into a brutal world which can only be escaped through death or wealth. Should you choose the latter, you will rebuild a failing school of gladiators to forge your path to glory. You begin with managing a school on the edge of bankruptcy and slowly expand it by adding and upgrading buildings. Providing the best staff and facilities for gladiators fighting in your name will quickly pay off. To succeed in arenas you need to prepare suitable equipment and teach your gladiators skills that allow them to survive. Test your might on less prestigious arenas before you take on the mightiest warriors of the known world in the Roman Colosseum. Further in the game you will be facing diverse challenges. Your best gladiators might die or retire as you pursue significant goals, such as earning the patronage of the local governor. You might also be forced to relocate your school to avoid local conspiracies and seek fame in more wealthy regions.
If you remember that fortune favors the bold we will soon meet among the Roman elite.
Expand your ludus (gladiator school) to unlock new weapons and training options for your future champions. Will you take massive loans and try to make fast money on risky bets or will you ensure that no coin is wasted and all losses are calculated?
Acquire and train your slaves to have them become true gladiators. Combine different schools of combat to create the deadliest of combinations. Teach your best ones to use signature gladiator weapons such as the net and trident. More advanced techniques will come in handy when facing multiple opponents or against the claws and teeth of arena beasts.
Gladiators fight in simultaneous turns – before each turn you choose the best move for the gladiator to counter a tactic chosen by enemy AI. Enemy behavior will be radically different depending on what your enemy is fighting for. Is it gold, glory, or the pleasure of taking lives?
