About This Game

In the great city of Serenus, there stands an ancient ludus, where brave gladiators train and prepare for battle. You have been chosen as the guardian of this ludus, responsible for managing the training, equipping, strategizing, and buying armor and weapons of each fighter. Your goal is to create the ultimate gladiator, who will bring glory to Serenus in the arena.

You will use all your skills to ensure your gladiators are the best they can be. You will train them in combat techniques, forge armor and weapons, scout for new recruits, and manage the performance of your gladiators in the arena. You will also need to periodically visit the market to buy armor and weapons, hire workers, recruit new gladiators, and keep the ludus well-maintained.

As you progress further into the game, you will be able to unlock special abilities and upgrade your gladiators. You will also be able to fight against other gladiators as the player character. With every win, you will gain prestige and rewards that you can use to improve your gladiators further. You will take on harder and tougher opponents while also competing against other ludus owners in tournaments.

Step into the sandals of a powerful Ludus manager, where your journey begins with recruiting and training fierce gladiators. Equip them with the finest gear and prepare them for glory in the arena. Will you rise to the challenge and lead your team to victory?

Once your gladiators are ready, take control in thrilling arena battles! Strategically command your fighters in intense tournaments, battling against rival Luduses to claim the title of the best in the land. Every decision counts—will you outsmart your opponents and secure your legacy?

Sustain and enhance your gladiators by farming essential resources. Manage your Ludus wisely to ensure your fighters are always at their peak performance. 

Want to test your own mettle? Step into the arena yourself! Engage in exhilarating first-person combat to earn money and elevate your status. Prove that you’re not just a manager, but a champion in your own right!

Take a break from the battles and immerse yourself in the vibrant city of ancient Rome. Roam the streets, experience the rich culture, and shop for new gear to enhance your gladiators.
