About
Age of Gladiators II: Death League is a single-player strategy game set in 3000AD; a violent and unpredictable future where the gladiatorial games have surged in popularity throughout the known galaxy.
Hire scouts to scour the planets for potential prospects – once you have recruited your gladiators through the draft, scouting, missions, trades, or waiver wire acquisitions, you will need to manage their morale and personality while equipping them for battle on the harsh combat environments of various worlds. Recruit support staff, upgrade your headquarters, collect bounties, research technologies, build your headquarters, partake in side missions, and manage the wealth and reputation of your empire as it grows each day.
As your fighters win battles and increase in level, it will be up to you to decide how to focus their abilities by spending attribute, weapons, and expertise points. Compete, trade, and interact with other in-game owners as you fight through fifty-nine grueling, regular season battles in order to reach the playoffs, vying for the chance to etch your name for all eternity on the coveted Blood League championship trophy.
Build your story. Build your empire.
Eight different species with their own specific combat bonuses and abilities.
Control your gladiators with the new 3D isometric combat system, where fights can have hundreds of different outcomes. Utilize dozens of different combat styles and abilities –employ unique species abilities, combat stims that increase physical stats, and special equipment such as force fields, weapon jammers, armor shredders, nano-leeches, and more.
Construct a headquarters to your exact specifications in order to maximize the efficiency of your operation. Medical bays, training centers, cloning tanks, cybernetics labs, weapons ranges, equipment workshops, and more.
Gladiators are born with their own dynamically generated physical attributes (twelve in total), weapon specialties, and personalities. It is up to you to draft the best prospects from the academy, make astute trades with competing owners, or hire scouts to scour for fringe fighters on nine different worlds.
As your gladiators level up, they gain points to spend on their attributes, weapons training, and expertise. Expertise allows you to build and customize your fighter according to their appropriate strengths. Weapons training allows you to specialize your gladiator with a specific weapon (pistol, carbine, or rifle for ranged sharpshooters, or 1-handed sword, 2-handed sword, or axe for melee brawlers). The physicality of your gladiators will increase or decrease with age, depending on if they are in their prime or declining.
Track the progress of your recently-drafted gladiators in the Rookie League, carefully developing and preparing them for their eventual promotion to the deadly Blood League. You could have the next unstoppable superstar in your farm system!
Clone dead fighters back to life or fit them with cybernetics if they are grievously wounded.
Be sure the check the bounty board. An opposing gladiator in the arena may have a price on their head, yielding millions of credits in payouts if they are killed in battle.
Manage your gladiators carefully – their morale, greed, injuries, fatigue, weapons training, and more must be taken into account before sending them to battle.
As your gladiators gain glory from battle, they will become more widely recognized and adored by the crowds. Win enough battles and they may even get voted into the Blood League hall of fame after they retire (or die).
Become a mogul outside of the arena. Purchase property for fame or businesses through which to further increase the efficiency of your operation.
Purchase, recruit, draft, trade, or claim fighters off the waiver wire.
Rob credit shipments, kidnap enemy fighters, assassinate your debt holders and more with the proactive mission system. Increase the odds of success by sending reliable gladiators on the mission as well. Lawfully aligned gladiators will only partake lawful missions, while criminally-inclined gladiators will assist in unlawful activities.
Engage in five different branches of research: combat, medical, weapons, armor, and scouting.
Search for deals on weapons, armor, combat stims, special equipment, and credit loans on the marketplace.
Hire staff such as scouts, doctors, trainers, weapons techs, and armor techs to help your gladiators achieve victory.

I'm gonna skip the details for now because I haven't scratched very deep on this game, but so far liking it. It seems to deliver what it promises. I do wish there were more camera angle choices, as of now it is pretty horrid.
Жестокий футуризм, стратегия, прокачка — хочется в бой!
While I played the first "Roman" version, I liked this one much more. Not sure why, just felt a little more about to grow things and I was able to create more of a sense of story.
Good!
I recommend. It's a bit complicated and there are a few bugs that could be worked out, but overall it's an engaging gladiator simulation.
So far I like it. a bit different then how I thought it would work but it was worth the money
Compared to the first game, this one is a significant step forward. Unfortunately, the developer lacked the patience or willingness to polish the game and fix the bugs. Positive aspects: - League System: Instead of traveling between cities, you now participate in a league. The league is modeled after North American professional sports leagues, with a regular season and playoffs. There’s a draft, a waiver draft, and trades. At the end of the season, individual awards are given to gladiators. It’s quite engaging. - Extensive Statistics: You can track hit rates, blocks, dodges, critical hits, and more. This is very helpful when looking for a strong gladiator to trade for. - Draft System: The best gladiators enter the league through the draft. They start in a special rookie league where they compete until they turn 21. You can monitor their stats and win-loss records. However, if you want, you can promote a gladiator to your main team immediately after the draft. - Weapon Types: Weapons are now divided into melee and ranged categories. Since there are no classes or weapon preferences, you can decide ahead of time which weapon type a gladiator will specialize in, based on their attributes. - Alien Races: The game now includes a variety of alien races. Each race has a unique ability (e.g., boosting damage, defense, accuracy, healing, etc.), which can influence the gladiator’s role. For example, a ranged specialist benefits from a critical hit bonus, while a melee fighter might prefer damage resistance. Negatives: - Turn-Based Combat: The most significant addition to the second game, turn-based combat, is also its biggest flaw. The AI is clumsy, and the battles are dull. The only tactical decisions you’ll make are whether to land an extra strike or run behind your opponent for a bonus damage hit. The combat is also buggy: sometimes a gladiator skips a turn for no reason, or you might be awarded a loss after winning a fight. Thankfully, you can simulate battles, which I ended up doing. But why doesn’t the game show the battle summary after a simulation? - Difficulty: The game is quite easy. I managed to win the league in my first season by making a few smart trades. The AI is terrible at trading, and it’s easy to swap a couple of weak gladiators for one of the league’s top gladiators or a highly-drafted rookie. Money was never an issue, either. In this regard, the second game feels much easier than the first, where I frequently went bankrupt in the early stages. - Unused Mechanics: Because the game is so easy, certain mechanics, like cloning, researching technologies, and missions, feel unnecessary. To fully enjoy the game, I recommend tweaking the settings: enable a poor economy, activate auto-leveling for gladiators, and use battle simulations. This makes the game more challenging, engaging, and less buggy. Conclusion: I liked the new setting and most of the new features. However, I’ve decided to leave a negative review because the developer abandoned the game without finishing it.
Age of Gladiators II is a single-player strategy game set in the futuristic year 3000AD, during the resurgence of brutal and hyper-competitive gladiator games. Manage your company by crafting weapons and upgrading your warriors. Build your own story.
I was captivated by its harsh atmosphere and unexpected twists in the gladiators' careers. The game makes you care about each character. A powerful and dark work.
It's bad
