Just some thoughts and looking to stir ideas/improve/add to the game and is not a critique by any means, just a potential suggestion box for whoever may see: **Upgrades for QoL*** -Ability to hover over gear for comparison when equipping gladiator -Notification of when exhibitions are ready, when heavy training is ready, etc rather than just on the main menu list -Icon next to gladiator name in roster view if currently undergoing heavy training -Be able to click a date on the calendar and go to that date rather than next day, next day, etc. **Cool to have, but would come after above suggestions** -More tournaments! -Star levels on gladiators 1* to 5 stars (common, uncommon, rare, epic, legend for example) with more rare ones being more expensive to purchase, perhaps items as well -Roles for gladiators, ranged gladiators, tanks, healers, etc -Bar at top of screen during combat showing “momentum” during fights of which team is winning overall -End of match MVP Will update as I continue to play and progress, really fun game so far! Keep up with the updates, this has a ton of potential!
Hi Mathias. You’ve developed a really great game. You’re also very quick with updates and fixes—I really appreciate how hard-working you are. I hope you stay motivated for a long time and turn this game into a real smash hit. Keep up the good work. I do have a few wishes and ideas, though. I’d love to see German gladiators. It would be awesome if you had to provide for the gladiators—things like food, drink, medicine, and the occasional visit from ladies (you know what I mean). It would also be great if gladiators on the market didn't all cost just 20 coins; it would be much better if they were auctioned off, like in the old days—some very cheap, others expensive or even very expensive. That way, you’d have to compete with other *ludus* owners to see who has more money or is willing to spend more. It would also be really nice to expand the *ludus* grounds further—kind of like in a football manager game, where there are various buildings you can upgrade. For example, a brothel, an infirmary, a harbor to buy food, etc.—I’m sure you can come up with something. Scouts would be a good idea, too—maybe being able to send them out by ship to look for gladiators, ladies, or doctors in other regions. The tactics need some tweaking as well; no matter what settings you choose, the gladiators always fight pretty much the same way. I hope you keep working hard; I’m definitely a fan of the game, though right now there isn't a huge amount to do—mostly just fighting and fast-forwarding. But otherwise, it’s an awesome game. It’s still brand new, of course, so I’m sure there’s a lot more to come. Best regards—keep it up!
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
