Ludus Mortis

Ludus Mortis is a party-based, grid-based first-person dungeon crawler with turn-based combat. Set in Rome in the 4th century AD, it follows gladiators trained to fight the undead and invaders who have taken over the city.

Rome under the undead

The Senate has grown corrupt and lost power while Emperor Diocletian and his army rule beyond the city. Seeking to regain dominance, the senators turn to necromancy and raise an army of undead and demons to fight the emperor’s soldiers. Their war divides Rome and leaves its people living in fear. As the undead armies take control, they impose themselves on the senators and enslave the population.

An ancient gladiatorial school continues to train soldiers for the games, but its purpose has changed: its gladiators now fight to rid Rome of the undead and invaders and restore the city to its former glory.

Build your party

Create characters from 14 classes, then manage your party by changing its formation, equipment and skills. You can try different combinations for each dungeon, and must use your Action Points carefully during turn-based combat.

Develop the school

Manage and develop your Ludus, or gladiatorial school, by improving its facilities, acquiring gladiators and crafting new equipment. Explore catacombs and dungeons, where you can find randomly generated loot with thousands of possible combinations.
