About the Game

Gladiatory is an action roguelite and tactical gladiator arena game where, as the master of your own gladiator school and the first gladiator, you forge your own path through brutal arena battles, leading, commanding, and fighting your way through them.

Prepare for each upcoming arena battle, strategically purchase new gladiators, expand your ludus, unlock new stuff and tactically change the build of your first gladiator.

Every fight is about positioning, timing, survival, and smart tactical decisions. Your warriors can act on their own, but with the Lanista Command Function, you can step in and issue direct battlefield orders when strategy matters most.

The game also includes a Digital Comic Book that expands the story of Gladiatory. Comic pages are unlocked through progression, connecting arena success with narrative rewards. As new arena levels are reached, new pages become available, giving players a growing story experience alongside the battles.
