Glory of the Colosseum is a turn based tactical strategy game set in ancient Rome. Take on the role of a Lanista and lead your gladiators to victory in the Colosseum.
The game features a world map of the Roman Empire and surrounding lands, as well as beautiful handcrafted arenas to battle in.
On the worldmap you can travel throughout the Roman Empire to hire and train gladiators from different cultures and disciplines, invest in equipment to improve your gladiators and give them new abilities and battle in spectacularly staged arenas in the big cities or makeshift arenas at the empire's borders and beyond.
In battles you can experience a deep and innovative combat system that is weighted heavily towards player choice with minimal randomness. Fight other gladiators, slaves, animals and legendary bosses that will prove a real challenge even for veterans of the game.
The glory of the victor will last through the ages and it is yours for the taking.
