About

Lead your team of Gladiators in turn-based arena battles, recruiting, training, and sometimes sacrificing them for glory. But remember, your Gladiators are mortal - If they fall in battle, they are lost forever... though their legacy will live on.
As a noble heir, you'll manage your city by unlocking, constructing, and upgrading buildings that provide new services and mechanics to aid you on your bloody quest for vengeance.

You fought tooth and nail for survival, driven by a burning hatred and a thirst for justice. Now, as a wealthy patron and a gladiator trainer, you plot your revenge against the tyrannical Emperor who stole your freedom and murdered your father. But the path to redemption is fraught with peril, and you must navigate a treacherous world filled with deception and danger.
Recruit new allies and expand your gladiator team to climb the ranks of the brutal tournaments. Each victory brings you closer to the grand Capitol, where your ultimate target - the Emperor, lost in his madness - awaits on his throne.

Before each battle, assemble a team of gladiators from various classes: physical, ranged, or magical. Will you pay gold, duel them, or show mercy in the arena to recruit them?
Level them up, increase their stats, and learn new abilities to ensure they're battle-ready. Don't forget to address any negative statuses or traumas, and equip them with shiny new weapons, armor, and consumables.
Use powerful Deity abilities to aid your Gladiators in battle, or make a shady deal with a local crime lord to sabotage your enemies before the battle even begins.

Combat unfolds in turn-based battles on a grid, where units act in order of initiative. Strategically move your gladiators, attack, and position them to outsmart and outmaneuver your opponents.
Use your action points wisely - unleash powerful weapon or class abilities, make use of items like potions and magical scrolls, or set traps on the ground to catch enemies off guard.
Win the favor of the audience by fulfilling their bloodthirsty wishes and reap rewards after each battle. But beware - permadeath is on. If a gladiator falls, they and their equipment are lost forever, adding high stakes to every decision.

You’ve inherited an estate overlooking the desolate coastal city of Marevento, and the city’s future now rests in your hands.
Between battles, use your hard-earned gold to build and upgrade city buildings, unlocking new tools and services to aid you in your quest for vengeance. From the infirmary, where your gladiators can recover, to the bustling market for trading items, and even a grand monument to honor fallen gladiators.
Defeat each region’s Arena Champion to advance the age and access powerful new buildings and items.
Are you ready to rise to the challenge and carve your name into history?

Like a mini game of xcom. But without all the painful stuff. The missions go quick and the base/strategy side has no time pressures. Units have a good variety of powers. Keyboard/Mouse controls are very good. Controller is horrible to use with it, mostly unplayable due to everything taking so long to do.
好!好!好!
不赖
This game scratches that very specific itch that XCOM players are so familiar with. You build your little soldiers, get attached to them through countless battles, and watch them die because you've made a stupid mistake and now have to live with the consequences. Thankfully there is always fresh meet in the tavern. The tactical battles are short enough to not be owerwelming, but require both tactical and strategic thinking. The strategic layer is all about equpment and is interesting enough to not be overly tedious. The classes are different enough. The only negative thing I can say is that you have to equip and re-equip your guys before every session, and without any equipment management it gets boring real fast, you have to scroll through the pile of ever growing equip a lot, comparing stats. But the rest of the game is rewarding enough, so it's not a deal breaker.
The concept is cool, but gameplay loop gets bland and repetitive very fast
топ
Other than the randomness that is the afflictions you get when your team is hit by a critical this is a lot of fun
Неожиданно хорошая тактика, особенно для любителей погриндить :) 27 часов а дошел только до снежной аренки, 5 гладиаторов веду к победе, но чет очень уж оверпаурными они у меня стали:) выносят все практически не напрягаясь, ранее были потери (которые в этой игре это плюс!, мемориал топ идея) В общем, рекомендую любителям потактичить и погриндить!
甜品级小游戏,实战的经验值少得可怜,还有各种伤病,训练营1次就能加40%多的经验,后期根本没必要去打实战,解锁2级训练场以后,每回合花1百块钱雇佣人去送人头就行了,主力全在训练营无脑升级,然后到等级限制以后就去解锁下阶段就行,无脑。
粗糙
