About We Who Are About To Die

✦ AI summary

Master a challenging physics-based combat system where every strike, angle, and momentum matters—no animations will play while you wait, only your skill determines victory. Lead your gladiator through a roguelite campaign across Terantia's arenas, combining tactical resource management, weapon mastery, and crowd-pleasing strategy to carve your legend before meeting an inevitable glorious death.


IMPORTANT: This game is ACTUALLY different!

Get ready to re-learn how to fight. This game features a physics based combat system with directional attacks. It'll take time to master! Don't worry, gladiators exist to be sacrificed. You control your character fully, at all times, based on complex inputs - you will never sit there while an animation plays.

This game's combat will take practice: at first you will find it hard to even hit anything properly. To win and master combat you will have to slow down and pay attention, pressing random buttons in a panic will only send your gladiator to an even earlier grave. You will learn how to move, how to use momentum to hit HARD, how to hit targeted weak spots and eventually, you will make up your own moves and fight in your own style.

An unforgiving Gladiator Roguelite experience.

Take control of a gladiator with a single life, that you lead to an inevitable dea- I mean, to victory and glory! Fight from the Pits to the Arena into the Stadium, pleasing larger and larger crowds until you finally become a legend of the Grand Stadium.

Each run is totally unique!

There are many roads to becoming champion. Try different approaches and improvise through the randomisation to survive in the long run.

Strategise your way to victory - combat skills alone are not enough!

Deal with random events, choose your next matches, please the rich patrons, please the crowds, expand your school, setup your training regime, bribe for information, hire professional help... and much more!

Fully modular equipment system!

Progress and purchase/loot weapons and armor. Master 8 weapon classes that all play differently. Spend hard earned gold and influence and outfit your character piece-by-piece.

Welcome to Terantia: the city of games!

Step into over a dozen arenas of different sizes and styles, each with random variations.
Fight in group battles or take on tense one-on-one duels that test your skills. How long can you last before your inevitable glorious death?

Other features include:

  • Starting backstories with different traits and goals
  • Permanent bonuses for each backstory's victory
  • Dynamic audiences that respond to your actions. Don't just win: entertain!
  • A ranking system with rewards (levelling up)
  • Character skills that grow as you perform the relevant actions
  • And much, much more!
Now into the arena, Aspirant!

To those who are about to die, I salute you!

✦ AI summary

We Who Are About To Die delivers a solid gladiator fantasy with engaging combat that feels satisfying in execution, though players note the combat can become repetitive in long sessions and the roguelike progression isn't groundbreaking. The game still has technical issues including crashes and occasional movement quirks that can cause attacks to miss, and some players find the balance gets trivial once they understand weapon combinations, which can limit long-term replay value.

Incredible game, give it a try. ALSO its made by one dude who clearly is coding this thing with passion and love.

This is an excellent game with plenty of replayability thanks to its class system. The victory conditions and class options aren’t immediately obvious, though; I had to spend a minute searching the menus to find them. I recommend exploring those menus when you start. You can buy several useful advantages and set up training for your character, both of which make a huge difference. My main wish is for more light armour and greater variety in weapon stats. Once you reach a certain point, there are just 7 weapons and the top tear of each weapon all have the same stats. There also appears to be just one top-tier armour and two (that I have found so far) top tier helmets. long story short there is a lack of choice or variety on the top end of things. I ended up collecting multiple sets of equipment that looked and performed identically. I’d love to see more variety in the gear, but the game itself is excellent. **10/10 — highly recommended.**

Great game, made by a solo developer who genuinely puts in the work. Of course, this isn't some so-called “AAAA” game that the big studios try to sell us for €80. And honestly? It doesn't need to be. This is what I think games should be about: having fun, struggling, failing, getting better, and throwing yourself back into the arena to do it all over again. No unnecessary nonsense. No massive studio or endless budget behind it. Just a developer with a vision who poured his heart, soul, sweat, and countless hours into making a genuinely fun game — and it shows. You will lose. You will die. You will blame the controls. Then you'll git gud, come back stronger, and somehow find yourself saying, “Alright... one more run.” Huge respect and thanks to the developer for creating something with actual passion behind it. We who are about to die salute you. 🫡 Ave Caesar, morituri te salutant.
