About the Game

2D deck building

You've played 0D deck building in Slay the Spire, you've played 1D deck building in Cobalt Core, but have you tried 2D deck building? Grid Gladiators is a 2D deck builder where you can use terrain elements and positioning to your advantage, block or simply dodge enemy attacks, and blast groups of enemies with AOE attacks.

Robust terrain system

Every run is a mix of 3 different biomes with their own terrain elements, enemies, and bosses. Collect sand dollars for extra energy in the South Beach, or catch your enemies in a choke point in the Ruins. Choose your starting location carefully or you may end up surrounded!

Push your luck with battle modifiers

Want money to spend at the shop? You're gonna have to take some risks. Before each battle, you'll have to decide how many battle modifiers you can get away with. Each modifier makes the battle harder in some way in exchange for cash after the battle. Modifiers combine exponentially to bring variety to every battle.

Upgrade your cards with tons of different stickers

From standard damage/block increases to terrain modification to wacky effects like turning a card into a power that triggers each turn, stickers add new abilities to your cards. Improve your cards to double down on an archetype or cover for a particular weakness of your deck.

Join the fight to conquer the Grid

A world map shared between all players lets the community work together to conquer the Grid. If you're the first to clear an area your name will be recorded on the map for all to see. The farther the community progresses, the more features they'll unlock for everybody. (new cards, stickers, battle modifiers, etc.)
