Dominus Gladiatus

Dominus Gladiatus puts you in charge of a gladiator school in Rome. Recruit men from the markets, build and manage your Ludus, and prepare gladiators for brutal arena battles as you compete to become Rome’s greatest Dominus.

Build your Ludus

Your Ludus is the center of your school. Expand it with new facilities, train gladiators and develop their skills. Manage morale, injuries and fatigue as you decide who needs rest, who is ready to fight and who can be pushed further.

Recruit men from Rome’s markets, look for hidden potential and strengthen your roster as the battles grow more dangerous. Each gladiator has different strengths, weaknesses and possibilities. Equip them with weapons and armor suited to their roles in the arena.

Prepare for battle

The arena’s savage duels and team battles use auto-battler combat. Train, equip and prepare your gladiators before each fight, then watch those decisions play out. A mistake can cost a gladiator his life.

The crowd can also affect your survival. Win its favor and it may turn the arena to your advantage; turn it against you and the crowd can become another enemy. Steel is not the only factor in deciding who survives.

Face rival Domini

Six Domini compete for prestige, power and survival. Choose one to lead your school, then face the others one by one in a deadly tournament. Each rival has their own strengths and methods, and can disrupt your Ludus as you fight toward the grand final championship.
