Be the lanista.

Build your own ludus, recruit fighters, train them, equip them, and send them into the arena — where glory, wealth, and survival are all at stake. Ludus Manager: Gladiator Tycoon is a gladiator management game that combines strategy, economy, and arena combat in one place.

Alongside classic gladiators, fighters from many cultures and eras appear: Celtic and barbarian warriors, African and desert fighters, Asian masters, pirates, medieval knights, Vikings, Incas, and many more. Choose from dozens of different classes — each with its own gear, style, and role.

Progression that matters.
Your fighters level up, new classes unlock, and your ludus grows stronger. Winning once is not enough: you must build your roster, reputation, and fortune over the long run.

Economy and estate building.
Manage your money, shop at the market, acquire equipment, develop your estates, and keep your business alive. Rival lanistae compete in the same world — you’ll have to make decisions outside the arena as well.

Arena, championships, adventures.
Enter events, fight in championships, and send fighters on dangerous adventures. Success brings glory and rewards — failure can mean injury, loss, or even the end of a fighter.

Combat takes the stage.
Battles can be followed not only in text, but also as side-view silhouette duels: tactics, equipment, and a fighter’s abilities together decide who rises from the sand.
