What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early access has core features implemented to give the users an authentic feel of ROAL: The game already offers an exciting mix of third person action, RPG elements and management gameplay.

• 5 Single player match modes
  
• 1v1 and FFA multiplayer matches
  
• Single and Multiplayer gladiator progression
  
• 4 Fight styles: Murmillo, Dimachaerus, Thraex and Velites
  
• Dynamic gladiator and equipment marketplace
  
• Gladiator Management: heal, train and level up your gladiators

Most of ROAL is controller supported. Combat is fully supported but UI is only partial. We are working on getting full controller support across the board but for now we recommend navigating UI with Mouse/Keyboard.

Due to unreal engines unstable groom system, we disabled all character hair for the initial early access release. We want to prioritize a smooth and consistent gameplay experience over a minor feature that is causing the application to randomly crash

So step into the sandals of a Ludus owner, and lets forge the path to greatness together. Your journey to legend status starts now--be part of it from the very beginning!”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features”
