About
In the great city of Serenus, there stands an ancient ludus, where brave gladiators train and prepare for battle. You have been chosen as the guardian of this ludus, responsible for managing the training, equipping, strategizing, and buying armor and weapons of each fighter. Your goal is to create the ultimate gladiator, who will bring glory to Serenus in the arena.
You will use all your skills to ensure your gladiators are the best they can be. You will train them in combat techniques, forge armor and weapons, scout for new recruits, and manage the performance of your gladiators in the arena. You will also need to periodically visit the market to buy armor and weapons, hire workers, recruit new gladiators, and keep the ludus well-maintained.
As you progress further into the game, you will be able to unlock special abilities and upgrade your gladiators. You will also be able to fight against other gladiators as the player character. With every win, you will gain prestige and rewards that you can use to improve your gladiators further. You will take on harder and tougher opponents while also competing against other ludus owners in tournaments.

Step into the sandals of a powerful Ludus manager, where your journey begins with recruiting and training fierce gladiators. Equip them with the finest gear and prepare them for glory in the arena. Will you rise to the challenge and lead your team to victory?

Still needs tons of work. I'm going to refund and come back later if I see improvements. It appeared to be similar to Blackthorn Arena but it was not. The combat controls are not intuitive, controller support is not very good, and fighting with mouse and keyboard would be better if attack actually attacked, and block was your other mouse button. I could not remap the controls, and died nearly immediately in the first match. The sword jitters in your hand instead of swinging, and block only works if you have stamina. Push only works if you have stamina. However, all stamina is gone nearly immediately when you have a conniption fit when trying to swing your sword. The wandering people in town reminded me of the old school Daggerfall game, but none of them can be interacted with. Lots of potential, but a long way to go. I'll keep following the game to see if it gets better, but I'll get a refund today. It's a true Early Access with potential.
Game is fun but almost unplayable. You fall through the map randomly, and constantly have to force close and reload the game. Can't recommend a game I can't play for more than 15 minutes at a time without a game breaking bug/frozen screen.
The game is pretty well polished for being in early access from what I've seen so far. I've played more games that are broken in early access than ones that feel like finished products. This is one that feels like a finished product. The game is obviously in early access, and is still being worked on. But, so far the game has been updated pretty frequently from what I can see. I've even reported a bug to the developer, they responded within ten minutes acknowledging the bug and saying it will be fixed soon. Then a few days later (today) a patch came out and the bug was addressed. I am positive about the future for this game, and I am excited to see where it goes. If you are thinking of trying this game, you should.
Sorry aber das Game ist keine 3€ Wert. da muss noch sehr viel gemacht werden.
言語設定を日本語にしたのが悪いのかわからないが睡眠時の暗転が終わらない、メニュー枠が項目とズレる、Tabを押すとカットシーンの走馬灯が見える、水汲み用の桶などオブジェクトが消える等々 アーリーアクセス未満の状態でアーリーアクセスではないのですね
Ein sehr langweiliges spiel, das noch ziemliche Fehler hat.
mal juego graficos deprorables asqueroso se laguea el juego las graficas no cargan bien no existe una buena continuidad tiene muchos fallos
Let me start by saying this. Lot's of love for what the dev is trying to do here. But in 1.4 hours, I have had to restart 3 times. First, I slept and it glitched and broke Steam, the second, my first hired gladiator lost and disappeared, I went to the slums to hire another and all I got were "nameless gladiators" that didn't even show up at my ludus... On the 3rd restart, I was doing much better. But my bucket for collecting water disappeared. (Along with the left over wood that I had left from the quest to go gather wood from the merchant. I get it, the game is early access and actively being worked on, but what the ♥♥♥♥!? This is some pretty basic level ♥♥♥♥, that should have been addressed before deeming it worthy of a $15 pricetag. Still, I highly recommend. Solely because there isn't any other developer out there trying to make something as complex and outstanding as this. Now,m all B...itching aside. I'm gonna restart again, because I got a raging hard on for this.
Total verbugt, leider extrem fehlerhaft. Für ein Early Access keinesfalls ausreichend. Bereits beim Tagwechsel kommt es zu einem Crash. Selbst auf der kleinsten Stufe ist der erste Gegner unbesiegbar und damit die Mission unlösbar. Game ist gut gedacht, jedoch erheblich schlecht umgesetzt. Totally buggy, unfortunately extremely flawed. None of them are sufficient for Early Access. A crash occurs as soon as the day changes. Even on the lowest level, the first enemy is invincible, making the mission impossible to complete. The game is well thought out, but very poorly implemented.
Great game so far and a very simple but fun combat system.
