Following in the grand legacy of LucasArts' acclaimed original games,
Gladius is a dynamic combat RPG featuring brutal turn-based gladiator
battles. The single and multiplayer game is set in the ancient Rome-inspired
city of Imperia, where the world's toughest gladiators gather to train
and compete in a series of rigorous do-or-die tournaments in the city's
fabled arenas. Players are challenged to build and control a school
of gladiators to fight in an escalating series of competitions against
other schools. Fight well and live to compete another day. Fight poorly
and risk the down-turned thumb of the Emperor.
