I Love This Game.Easy to Learn,And fun to come back to.And you can watch the other fights when you want to take a break.
If you are looking for a surprisingly fun game with a little bit of a learning curve to kills some time, check this out! This is a simple Gladiator management game. You can choose if you would like to control them or not. I've had a lot of fun mixing and matching different classes and weapons. There is a large amount of RNG in the slave stats/classes/weapons/skills/traits. This leaves tons of replay value. Update: This game is a lot of fun and has more strategic depth than I originally realized. I got it on sale and even with the DLC it was under $10. Totally worth it in my opinion. PS: There are still some bugs, texture issues, text problems, kill cut scenes that don't work properly... but nothing game breaking so far.

Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Jul 24 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

一个小团队难产出来的半成品,充斥着各种小漏洞。但是,只要你能忍耐各种各样的bug,你会发现这个游戏非常上头。期待完成品!
bug: 精灵的种族特质描述错误 蓝色品质的两个盾牌(纤长筝型盾)和(红色筝型盾)属性一模一样 建议: 角斗士个人界面的特质板块增加滑块功能 刑讯室消除特质功能的选择面板增加上下拖动
круть!!!!! разрабы красавцы ....не закидывайте игру и добавляйте больше контента!
还不错
Vale o din. Pra quem gosta de gerenciamento.
1 étoile sur 5... Si vous avez un problème de son et les options qui sont tout ♥♥♥♥♥, faut mettre votre Windows en Langue d'affichage English (US). À l'intérieur du jeu, tu peux mettre la langue que tu veux... En français, l'affichage est vraiment dégeulasse... des moitiés de mots partout. Ça règle presque tous les problèmes de son... Le son des voix parcontre lui ne fonctionne pas plus. Le jeu est truffé de bug divers... Quand tu sélectionnes de tuer les gladiateurs ennemis dans une arène, les champions tire une flèche en plein milieu de la foule et le gars en face de lui crève... il y a tellement de bug que ça enlève tout le plaisir d'y jouer... et pourtant ça serait un excellent jeu... Au moins si j'avais des voix, je mettrais 1 étoiles de plus, si je pouvais mettre mon windows en français sans que tout le son et option plante (très mal codé là...) 1 autre de plus. Si je pouvais sélectionner un des esclaves sans tous les bugs visuels une autre étoile de plus, on serait à 4 étoiles et ça serait quand même jouable. Même le tutoriel est bourré de bug visuel...(et on aurait une 5ème étoile) Faut le faire, la moitié des affichages est décalé ou inexistant. Jeu qui mériterait d'être encore en Beta, c'est majoritairement des bugs qui date de plusieurs années qui n'ont jamais été réglé...
I really loved playing Gladius on Xbox back in the day. Since then, no gladiator game has really scratched that itch until Blackthorn Arena! The sheer control you have over your team. One keeps getting to be a problem? Sell them off! Watch as your gladiators grow and become true badasses of the ring under your guidance. Most of the clipping issues have been taken care of and this game has truly evolved from when it was first in early release. I'm up to 68 hours (nothing compared to some of my true faves in my library) and am rapidly putting more and more hours into this. It is truly enjoyable for the money!
