About the game
Rise as a Dominus
Rome thirsts for blood.
Take control of a gladiator school, recruit men from the markets, forge them into gladiators, and prepare them for the brutal arenas of Rome.
The Dominus Gladiatus Demo lets you play through the opening stage of the tournament, build your first Ludus, manage your gladiators and face your first rival Dominus.
Will your gladiators become champions… or die forgotten before the crowds of Rome?
Blood in the Arena
Watch savage duels and team battles unfold in brutal auto-battler combat.
Train, equip and prepare your gladiators before they enter the arena, then watch your decisions play out in blood. One mistake can cost a gladiator his life.
Begin the Tournament
Take your first steps into the deadly competition between Rome’s Domini. Build your Ludus, survive the opening stage of the tournament and overcome your first rival.
Build Your Ludus
Your Ludus is the heart of your gladiator school.
Expand it with new facilities, train your gladiators and develop their skills. Manage morale, injuries and fatigue as you decide who needs rest, who is ready to fight, and who can be pushed further.
A well-run Ludus creates champions. A careless one buries them.
The Slave Market
The markets of Rome are filled with desperate men and future champions.
Recruit new gladiators, spot hidden potential, and strengthen your roster as the battles grow deadlier. Every gladiator brings different strengths, weaknesses, and possibilities.
Arm Your Gladiators
Equip your gladiators with weapons and armor suited to their role in the arena. The right gear can mean the difference between victory and death.
Win the Crowd
The crowd is ruthless, and Rome remembers spectacle.
Win their favor and they may turn the arena to your advantage. Turn them against you and the crowd can become another enemy. In Rome, survival is not decided by steel alone.
This Is Only the Beginning
The demo is the opening chapter of Dominus Gladiatus. The full game expands the competition into a deadly 160-day tournament against rival Domini, each with their own strengths, methods and ways of disrupting your Ludus.
Wishlist Dominus Gladiatus and continue your road to glory.
