About Gladatora
Gladatora is a turn-based role-playing game by independent developer Jeremiah Eastman, and the Global key adds it to your Steam library. It begins after a bloody mutiny: the gladiators have killed their masters and taken over the ludus, and now they must keep running it as if nothing had happened while quietly building a rebel force.
That cover story is a mechanic. Your Ludus Reputation has to stay high enough to avoid Roman suspicion while you recruit, train and equip fighters. The game is split between two connected halves: an open world for quests, allies, loot and hidden secrets, and the Arena, open for about eight hours of each in-game day, where your squad faces steadily harder fights. Progress on one side strengthens the other.
Battles use a classic side-view layout and are decided by row positions, turn order and stance changes rather than magic, because there are no spells here, only steel and tactics. Optional permadeath and permanent-injury modes raise the stakes, and some decisions are irreversible and lead to different endings. The developer notes that you can reach an ending with a handful of fighting styles and a core squad, so the deeper systems are there when you want them.
