About "Gladiator Bloodline"
"Gladiator Bloodshed" combines brutal tactical combat, in-depth team management, RPG growth system and Roguelite random elements.Players will transform into a gladiator who has grown from a slave to a wealthy arena master, commanding different types of warriors - whether melee, ranged, or spellcasters - to fight in the blood and cheers of the audience.

The game adopts a unique visual style that blends dark fantasy with pixel bloody art to perfectly present the brutal charm of the arena.Gladiator Bloodlands will appeal to anyone who loves deep strategy and a sense of progression - including fans of XCOM, Darkest Dungeon, Heroes of Might and Magic, Into the Breach, The Last Spell and Battle Brothers.
