Inspired by franchises such as Starz’ Spartacus: Blood and Sand, Gladiators Online: Death Before Dishonor is a high-end 3D combat-management game hosts deadly arena fights for gold and fans, PvP swearing, and multiplayer slave auctioning, bringing the thrill and excitement of ancient blood-sports to the MMOG Colosseum – including their “Free-to-Die Permadeath Feature”.

Starting with a small Ludus Gladiatorius, providing cheap entertainment to the people on the fringes of empire, he needs to train, heal and equip his gladiators so they stand a chance in the coming games. Gladiators Online is a manager type game where every detail counts – and the life of the player’s fighters depend on his economic decisions. Pitching player against player in deadly show-fights, gladiators will get wounded or even die in the arena – all to the greater glory and profit of the player’s House. Using the income from these games, players will be expanding their businesses, hiring expert staff, buying fresh talent, and creating a winning team to carry them all the way to the top – to Rome.
