Gladiator battles are a thing from history that we look at through a certain lens. On the one hand, they were barbaric and not exactly something that should’ve happened. However, the spectacle of them is enough to keep us wondering about them and to keep telling stories from that period of history. Enter Dominus Gladiatus, a management simulator where you’ll run a “school” for gladiators and attempt to defeat all other schools during a massive tournament to come out on top. Do you have what it takes to train your fighters for the ultimate victory? You can find out more about the game below:

“History remembers the gladiators. Dominus Gladiatus is about the people who made them. Players take on the role of a Dominus, the owner of a gladiator school, choosing one of six Domini and competing against the other five across a full season of tournaments. Every rival runs a school of their own and all of them want the same title.

The road to the championship runs through the Ludus. Scout the market for overlooked talent, build up your facilities and turn untested recruits into crowd favorites. A fighter’s form depends on how well they are looked after: rest, morale and recovery matter as much as training and a school that cuts corners will feel it on the sand.

Fights play out as tactical auto-battles, in one-on-one duels or team clashes, decided by the skills, loadouts and positions chosen beforehand. Study your opponents, plan your lineup and win over the crowd, because in Rome the spectators have a say in how the day ends.”
