Short Answer: I have played every gladiator manager game you can imagine and this one is fantastic. Its league system is great, combat is good and merchandise is in line with the time period. My only wish for this game is that he developer adds individual stats to the gladiators, for me that is huge for immersion. He really gets a lot of things right in this game and I am looking forward to the finished product. If you like gladiator manager sims this is a must own.

Thats a strong recommendation. Lets start by the two obvious down point : - Price is a bit high (id price it around 15€) - Game is... In early dev Now for the good points : - The idea is brilliant as, unlike any Managing games, here, you can pay cash by death and go down spiraling - The money managing (escpecially in the two first season) is smarter than you'd just think - The Dev reactivity, basically we have an update per day, suggestion are numerous - The gameplay is deeper than it would seem (tactic are not so useful for now) - Potential is great - Multiplayer isnt great for now, but its getting better Now, should you buy it ? If you are a bit short on money and want to spend your euros with great ROI "gamewise speaking" : Dont. You'll probably play at max around 50 hours of this game, before it has big updates The game as for now, is very perfectible However, if money is not a big concern ; You'll support an Indy dev, the game has a potential (as Timberborn or Banished, or Manor Lord) to get a huge lot of content, and becoming a classic

H0ly sh1t this game is addicitive. I hope the developer will add in the future a kill statistic (No. of played matches and kills) for the gladiatiors. And also a Wall of commemorative plaques in memory of died gloriuos Gladiators.

Really looking forward to getting into this one, love the genre and been following the development approach which demonstrates a real passion for the game. Will update this review with a full take shortly. ***Update - You begin naked, broke, badly armed, and one poor decision away from becoming arena decoration. From there, you use your brain, scrape together some clothes, find a half-decent weapon, and slowly turn an absolute nobody into a legend. Wiglaff, son of Sigtryg, entered the arena naked, armed only with a stone aze and unreasonable confidence. He now owns trousers. Rome trembles. I’ve followed the development for a while, and the passion behind this game is obvious. It already scratches that brilliant Kenshi itch of starting with nothing and earning every tiny victory. Already my favourite gladiator game. Onwards and upwards. 10/10 — started naked, acquired trousers, became history.

Picked this up on release and I'm only a few matches into my first season, so take this as a first-impressions review rather than a deep verdict. So far: really promising. You start down in Division VII with a small club, scrape together some coin, kit out your gladiators from the market and throw them into the arena. The matches are fully simulated in 3D and — this is the part that got me — losses actually carry permanent consequences. I already caught myself hesitating before fielding a decent fighter against a stronger club. That tension is exactly what I wanted from a game like this. The Tactics panel (setting up starting positions auto-battler style) seems like it'll add a lot once I understand the systems properly. Right now I'm still learning the ropes, and the UI takes a bit of getting used to, but nothing that put me off. It's not perfect, of course — but it definitely has potential, and for an Early Access title it already runs smoothly and the content is there. It's a solo-dev project, so it's not fully featured yet, but what's here clearly had thought put into it and the dev seems active and responsive to feedback, which is a good sign for where it's heading. Too early for me to give a definitive take, but I'm happy I bought it and I'll keep playing. If you like management sims where the losses actually hurt, this is worth a look even in its current state. Ave, Lanista.
