About the Game

Ludus Magnatus: Gladiator Manager Simulator is a classic management experience set in an alternate Ancient Rome.

Start in Division VII with one of sixteen clubs, recruit fighters, equip them from the market, and climb the ladder through fully simulated seasons and matches with AI that plays exactly like players. Build momentum, overcome rival ludi, and carry your team toward promotion and the ultimate title of champion of the Empire.

Every match tells a story. Watch recruits grow into legends or fall forever in fast and dramatic arena fights

Your fighters are the heart of your Ludus. See their fame grow with victories, upgrade their weapons and armour, and shape their journey toward greatness.

Invite friends to manage rival ludi and compete in synced battles to see who earns the ultimate glory.                        

Invest in scouts, doctors and trainers to build the strongest Ludus the Empire has ever seen.
