What players love

Players praise a gladiator management game in an alternate Ancient Rome, where they recruit fighters for their ludus, equip them from the market, train them each week and watch the arena fights play out like a sports season. Reviewers keep pointing to the constant updates and bug fixes, enjoy managing rival ludi with friends, and say the game is in Early Access with plenty still to come.
