About this game

Participate in tournaments with your team of gladiators as you employ bribes and assassinations to weaken your enemies. Acquire gladiators from your competitors, or sell them if you lose interest. Train them with new skills and upgrade their stats to dominate the colosseum.

Gladiator Manager is a strategic management game with an auto-battler component. It operates on a turn-based system, where each turn is divided into two primary segments. The first segment focuses on actions such as leveling up your gladiators, managing your finances, building upkeep, tournament registration, gladiator acquisition, and opponent sabotage. The second segment is combat preparation and execution: picking equipment and setting up bribes.

The game progresses through various phases, starting from the initial setup (turns 1-50), moving into a more complex mid-game (turns 50-150), and offering late-game gameplay variation and additional content (after turn 150). Through an ascension system, you can do over 10 re-runs with mutators, and there are 3 difficulty settings to complete your games on.

To organise your gladiators effectively, you handle their injuries, and maintain their loyalty. Level up their attributes, select techniques, and choose fighting styles to optimise their performance in battle.

Overall, Gladiator Manager offers a management experience set against a historical backdrop, highlighting the importance of strategic decision-making and effective resource management to rise as the most dominant lanista in Rome.

Great game, tons of replayability. The happiness mechanic is pretty harsh, but provides a challenge. More challenges to get more gems would be great though. There's a bug when you pay 100 gold for 3 slaves in an event, you don't seem to receive the slaves after even though you lose gold. Great work, hope you can improve the game even further!

Thanks for the review! Ah the slaves from that event should be available after 15 turns, to represent these inexperienced slaves needing to be trained first. I might need to make that more visible somehow.

I actually love this game a lot. It's pretty unique and nothing like other gladiator games. Great system where you get gems from achievements to unlock more of the game and unlock QoL. (You could also buy gems for the impatient people) I do wish there would be more to do with money after you've upgraded every building to max.(More options for bribing the guards for example, "hitman" for hire so other factions won't know it was you who did it to just name a few) (Edit: Great and fast dev)

One of the best indie games I've played in the last years, and this includes games I've played on pc. The upgrade system is what sells it for me, you don't upgrade anything with it, you just unlock content, you basically can pick that way what events you have in your game
