How it feels
Managing a gladiator school in a harsh, unforgiving world with tactical turn-based combat and constant pressure to maintain resources.

What players say
Players manage a ludus and train gladiators, drawing comparisons to Domina and Sword and Sandals. The game is fun but grindy and repetitive, with combat that can get tedious and a story delivered in a fragmented way. Players praise the developer for returning after a long silence to push the game to 1.0, but note it still feels unpolished.
