About Gladiators: Survival in Rome

Gladiators: Survival in Rome is an Action RPG with casual survival game mechanics and big city-building possibilities. You'll experience a new type of survival game with quests, continuous open world progression, monthly events and your dumb ways to die not harming your fun level.

🏹 Survival Games, casualized



Chop every tree, hunt rabbits and deer, stone and copper mining - resource management are a staple of every survival game, and Gladiators is no different. However, we threw away the hunger games in favor of a replenishing stamina pool so you can start every game session on exploration instead of just preventing yourself from dying.

🏛️ Build your own Roman village



From setting up your first camp to building an entire Roman city, you'll be pretty busy making a home for yourself and all the rescued slaves that turn up to settle as workers. Manage their resource refining jobs, build houses and beautify the city with fountains and other decor.

⚔️ Carry a big stick (mind the pointy end)



Craft your weaponry from a selection of clubs, axes, bows, spears and more. Upgrade them to make pointy ends even more pointy, embellish your craft with gems and their attributes, and poke around at Roman legions, bandit bosses and other generally unfriendly folk.

🗺️ Explore Rome and its dungeons



Dive into dark caves and unravel the story of Proserpina, better known in Greek mythology as Persephone; lead the siege to the stronghold of Castrum, or rebuild the ancient city of Perugia. Learning about history has never been more fun!

✦ AI summary

Gladiators: Survival in Rome has decent core gameplay that players find entertaining and reasonably balanced in difficulty, but it is heavily criticized for aggressive monetization mechanics that severely limit daily playtime behind stamina systems that require real money to bypass. Most players feel the game becomes frustrating and unfun without spending, making it a poor value even as a time-killer unless you are willing to pay repeatedly or accept playing only short sessions.
