About This Game

Primus is a brutal Roman gladiator arena crawler where you build a Ludus, lead fighters through deadly arena circuits, and climb the ranks toward the title of Primus.

Survive the Spectacle


Choose your leader, prepare your gladiators, and enter blood-soaked arena runs filled with tactical fights, crowd events, rival champions, beasts, injuries, and final bouts.

Each circuit is a test of survival. Your gladiators must endure the whole run before they can return home with rewards, scars, and hard-earned progress.

The crowd is watching and the sand is waiting.

Core Features


  • Arena Crawler Structure: Choose a circuit, survive a sequence of fights and events, then return to your Ludus with rewards and consequences.
  • Formation-Based Combat: Position your gladiators, use their abilities, and manage speed, damage, defence, and survival.
  • Crowd Events: The crowd can reward bloodshed, punish weakness, shift momentum, or unleash beasts into the arena.
  • Ludus Management: Train fighters, recover from injuries, upgrade your house, and prepare your team for the next circuit.
  • Head of House Choice: Choose a leader who shapes your Ludus with unique traits, combat style, and strategy.
  • Scars and Death: Gladiators gain experience, suffer wounds, earn scars, and may die permanently if pushed too far.

Can Your Ludus Survive the Arena?


Every victory raises your name.
Every scar tells a story.
Every death feeds the spectacle.

Enter the arena. Survive the circuit. Rise to become Primus.
