We Are Gladiators is a challenging turn-based RPG roguelite game about managing a company of gladiators. Recruit, train and command a roster of characters from all walks of life against ruthless gladiators, wild beasts, savage greenskins and undead monstrosities! Can you keep your men unified against the stress, hardships and horrors of gladiator life?
Command Gladiators in Turn Based Arena Combat.
Command your gladiators in innovative turn based combat across a hexagonal grid. If it makes sense in reality, it makes sense in the arena: stress, injuries and exhaustion must be managed as well as abilities, teamwork and positioning if you hope to prevail!
Customize Your Company鈥檚 Captain to Lead Your Gladiators!
Decide who will lead your men: an Elven mage? An Undead rogue? An Orc berserker? Customize your starting race, abilities, weapons, talents, perks, appearance and more to create your own unique story.
Recruit new gladiators from a wide range of races and backgrounds
From farmers, thieves, butchers and bandits to sell swords, knights, witch hunters and serpent slayers, build your roster from a diverse set of procedurally generated characters. Randomized stats, abilities, equipment, character quirks and personality traits enable you to build a unique band of misfits every playthrough.
Level up and build your own specialized gladiators
With each arena victory comes access to new ability trees, powerful passive effects, and increased core attributes. One day an axe wielding berserker, the next day a fire ball slinging battle mage! A gladiator鈥檚 initial characteristics need not define the type of warrior they ultimately become.
Manage the health, mental state and relationships of your gladiators.
Rest and relaxation is an important part of an athlete's routine, especially for gladiators. Blow off some steam at the Tavern, tend to injuries and mental traumas at the Hospital, and learn new abilities and skills at the Library.
Risk vs Reward: Choose which fights to take, and how to prepare your team.
Preparation is the key to success! Choose which matches to take based on your risk appetite and the capabilities of your gladiators. Know who you're fighting beforehand, pick the right characters for the job, and deploy them on the board in a way that suits your tactics and counters your enemy鈥檚.
Choices matter
Decide how to respond to a variety of complex situations and disputes as they arise. What kind of leader will you be? Honorable and merciful? Or callous and cruel? Choose wisely, as your actions have lasting consequences.
