About this game
Take charge of your own fantasy gladiator team! This classic turn-based strategy game combines RPG elements, gladiator management, and tactical combat.
FEATURES
Managing your gladiator team is challenging and requires you to:
Hire new gladiators.
Equip them with weapons, armor and spells.
Scout your opponent teams.
Crush your competitors in turn-based battles (if you are able to win matches).
Invent innovative explanations for your losses (if you're unable to win matches – "The sun was in my gladiator's eyes!" is always a classic).
Earn money from ticket revenues and win bonuses.
Pay your gladiators' salaries.
Watch your favorite gladiators improve their skills and attributes, gain fame and victories, and ultimately retire from gladiator fights.
Strive for the ultimate goal: the League Championship of Runerock.
GLADIATORS
Each gladiator is almost as unique as a snowflake, with stats that include:
Name (of course!).
Age (old gladiators are liberated from gladiator battles, so this is quite important).
Character class (there are 36 different classes in the game, for example, the mighty Minotaur, the smart Sorceress, the stout Stoneman, and of course, the barbaric Barbarian).
Attributes (strength, dexterity, mana, health).
Set of melee and missile weapon skills.
Spell skills.
Miscellaneous skills like dodge and magic resistance.
Morale (nobody likes losses or other mishaps).
Most gladiators' stats can and will improve during their careers!
