Buy Elysium: Blood Games PC key

Elysium: Blood Games puts you in charge of a ludus—a stable of three fighters taken from the ruins of an ancient city and trained to fight for gold. As their Arenamaster, you guide their training and careers, try to keep them alive and well, and pursue the championship banner while earning gold and glory.

Train your fighters

Each warrior has five stats, a profile picture and a special trait that can affect gameplay. You choose which aspects to work on, develop fighters along varied potential and development curves, and sign contracts that evolve as their skills improve. Between seasons, you can draft new warriors into the league and add to your manager stats, which can influence your in-game character.

Manage a career

A detailed career engine tracks injuries, aging, retirement and career arcs. Warriors may retire, be killed or die of natural causes; the game records championship winners, retired and killed warriors, Hall of Fame performers and other career history. Every season, you compete against nine other warriors, then negotiate contracts and draft new fighters. The season ends with a single-elimination playoff tournament, where the losers go home.

Fight in the arena

During combat, you can control each move—Lunge, Normal, Defensive or aiming for a vein to cause Bleeding—or set a fighting attitude and watch the fight play out. Thousands of detailed fight texts describe the action, including its changing momentum, comebacks and bleeding. Each fight ends with a statistics breakdown that includes hit percentage and average damage.

Use influence and gold

You can spend Influence earned by winning matches on more than 40 special Favors, or buy Brews that boost a fighter’s stats. You can also bribe opponents with gold, gamble on other matches, advertise your fights for greater earnings, complete secret objectives for rewards and move to larger venues as you accumulate career wins. Twelve special match types add different conditions, including Flaming Swords, Lions, extra gold and the rare Sudden Death match.

New setups each time

Warriors, Brews, schedules and other elements are randomly generated whenever you start a new game, so each setup differs. The game also includes in-game help and tooltips, high-resolution graphics and UI, music, sound effects and detailed combat statistics.
