What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game mechanics of Ludus Mortis are pretty complex: 14 different classes, more than 150 skills, the management of the gladiatorial school... there are a lot of things to work on and, as a solo game developer, I need some feedback and opinions on the game features, especially on the balance of the difficulty, the user interface and the characters development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately 3-6 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I'm planning to add more dungeons, more skills and to complete the story for the campaign.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access features all the game mechanics, classes and skills, but you can explore only the first 10 dungeons (and a special randomly-generated dungeon).”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Right now, I don't plan to change the price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“You can use the Community Hub of Steam or you can join my Discord Server (https://discord.gg/nuHDX3K37f) for feedback and comments.”

About This Game

STORY

Rome, 4th Century AD. Over the last few decades the Senate has become corrupt and has progressively lost power and influence, while the Emperor Diocletian and his army ruled unchallenged outside the eternal city.

Seeking to return to a dominant position, the members of the Roman Senate decide to use necromancy to increase their power, creating an army of undead and demons to fight against imperial soldiers.

By waging war on its own emperor, the Senate has caused a rift in the Roman population, which slowly began to live in fear.

Year after year the armies of undead summoned by the Senate have taken over, imposing themselves on the senators and enslaving the Roman population.

In this climate of chaos, an ancient gladiatorial school continued to train soldiers for the games. But the purpose of these gladiators is now different: to rid the city of the undead and invaders...to allow Rome to return to its former glory.
