About this game

Level up your gladiators. Manage, battle, bribe, and ascend to become Rome’s finest Lanista. Free to play. No ads. In-app purchases for more content. No pay-to-win.

Gladiator Manager is a turn-based management sim set in ancient Rome, where tactical auto-battles reward smart decisions over reflexes.

Hire and train gladiators with unique traits. Handle injuries, develop skills, balance egos, and survive in a corrupt arena system full of intrigue and betrayal.

Win matches to gain influence, unlock better gear, and enter tougher tournaments. Lose, and your best fighters may be gone forever.

- Bribe, scout, sabotage, or assassinate your rivals
- Die, restart, and ascend to insane difficulties
- Plan technique-based combat
- Strategic resource, influence, and roster management
- Customize gear, techniques, traits, and loyalty
- Grow your estate and build out your influence skill tree
- Undertake quests, survive raids, make hard calls

Earn gems by completing in-game achievements. Use them to unlock new weapons, tournaments, buildings, quests, and features. If you’d like to speed things up, there are two optional in-app purchases: Pouch of Gems and Chest of Gems.

phenomenal game. It is truly one of the best mobile games I've played and the only one I have found like it, which is hard to believe. totally free with the exception of those who wish to buy meta game currency, which is earned through achievements, so not hard to get at all. no ads. I didn't have any bugs. my second try, i had one fighter carry the whole thing but haven't tried ascention yet. hope to see improvements and more games like this

This is one of the best free mobile games out there. It is absolutely worth your time. The depth of the battle system and economy lets you come up with unique builds, and theres so much room for creativity. The lack of microtransactions and ads really makes the experience so much better. That said, there are a lot of balancing issues atm. By mid-late game, you have more money than you could ever spend with no way of putting it to use, and the gameplay slows down quite a bit. Overall very solid.

Has two major bugs/poor design which are as soon as you hit the advance button, you cannot go back and have to fight. The other bug is when you buy or upgrade your estate, it doesn't update how it looks when you're playing and you have to quit to title and go back to the game for it to update your estate. Other than those two things it's a super fun game.

The construction bug has been fixed on beta. The one about advancing is a choice, since thats when the battles are generated. If people go back at that point it could invalidate the matchups. I will think about if going back is possible for the future though, maybe by re-generating the matchups.

What’s new

A few fixes, some accessability improvements
