Leaving Early Access: 16 Sep, 2026

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Gladio Mori is at a stage where it has all of the game's core features. However, it is far from realizing its full potential and many aspects still need to be polished and/or adjusted. Gladio Mori is heavily community driven game and community's feedback is essential in finishing the features of the game. We are fully committed to communicating with our community during Early Access and bringing the wishes and needs of the community into the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately one year.”

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

“Our plan is to keep on working and developing the game's visuals including character and arenas and VFX, and we will keep on expanding the features already in the game (like moveset editor, etc.) and integrating new tools and features like Steam Workshop. Our plans include adding more levels and arenas, multiplayer matchmaking, improving UI, integrating progression systems, and adjusting the physics continually.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“- All key features are fully implemented and operational
- Fully working move editor with community moveset gallery which the players can enable for themselves
- Online and local split-screen multiplayer with up to four players and PVE
- Organ-based damage system delivering realistic and strategic combat dynamics
- 17 different weapon sets
- Two fighting arenas
- Ten armour elements”

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.”

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

“We are active on Steam discussions of the game and we have a very active Discord community where we listen and talk with the community, so community involvement in development process is crucial and important for us.”

“Well, murder-backseaters, you've got the chance to prove yourself that blade genius that you think you are in Gladio Mori, a physics-driven gladiatorial sandbox new to Early Access where you get to animate your own moves.”
PC Gamer

About This Game

Gladio Mori is a physics-driven gladiator fighting game where every hit damages the body where it lands. Injure muscles, sever arteries, pierce vital organs or cut off a limb entirely.

Build your own attacks, paint your fighter or use creations shared by other players. Fight through the solo campaign or enter online arenas for up to four players, with cross-play between Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Every hit changes the fight

There are no health bars. Damage a muscle and the affected limb loses strength. Sever an artery and the fighter starts bleeding out. Pierce a vital organ and the fight can end immediately.

Hands, arms and legs can all be cut off. Lose a hand and anything it was holding goes with it. Lose a leg and the rest of the fight becomes considerably more complicated.

Watch your sword hand. Fighting gets harder when it is lying on the other side of the arena.

Blunt weapons crack bones and stagger. Blades cut along their sharpened edge, so the angle of every strike matters. Armour stops attacks where it covers the body, while every gap remains a target.

Organ-Based Damage System

Forget health bars—combat in Gladio Mori is as brutal as it is precise. Damage to muscles, arteries, and vitals directly impacts your ability to fight:

  • Injured Muscles weaken your strikes.

  • Severed Arteries cause you to bleed out.

  • Pierced Vitals mean instant death.

Precision and strategy are your greatest weapons.

Build every move you fight with

Create your own attacks one pose at a time. Set the stance, position the limbs, adjust the timing and save the finished move. Chain individual moves into a complete moveset and take it directly into a fight.

Build a precise technique, recreate a favourite move or invent something no trained gladiator would ever attempt.

You can also browse the community gallery, equip a complete moveset made by another player or combine individual moves into your own fighting style.

Paint your own fighter

Paint and draw directly onto your character with the in-game skin editor. Create your own design, take it into the arena and make sure everyone knows exactly who removed their arm.

PC players can also download the character’s skin template and edit it in any image editor. Share the finished skin through mod.io or choose one created by another player.

34 weapons, three shields and two hands—while they last

Choose from 34 weapons, plus your fists if you are willing to count them. Fight with anything from a gladius or spear to a kanabo, halberd or guandao. Add one of three shields, pick up a two-handed weapon or enter the arena unarmed.

Every weapon includes a basic moveset. Use it as it is, change it in the editor or replace it with one created by the community.

Build your protection from 17 equippable armour pieces, ranging from bracers to full plate. Each piece protects the part of the body it physically covers. Everything else is still available to your opponent.

Fight online or take on the campaign

Host or join online fights for up to four players. Cross-play connects players on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The solo campaign let you face AI opponents, learn the weapons and get familiar with the damage system before taking your creations online.

See what the community has created

Open the in-game mod gallery to browse community-made weapons, armour, arenas, movesets and character skins on PC and console.

The base game includes 34 weapons. Mods bring many more. PC creators can also publish their own work through mod.io for other players to use.

Enjoy the victory more than once

Save any fight as a replay, scrub through the action and move the camera freely.

Show your friends exactly how you sliced them up. Rewind it. Show them again.
