armed combatants, dangerous beast, & creatures only known in legend. You okay as none of these. Instead, you play as the arena leader, controlling the shots and determining who lives and dies.

Gladiator Simulator is a small top down sandbox game where you place in random enemies to fight. There’s a lot of hidden mechanics and interesting interactions! 
It’s also only in alpha and has a ways to go before it’s a fully fleshed out project. So suggestions are very much appreciated. I’m planning on some interesting monsters and characters. Humans will have Hero archetypes at some point, still debating on how that mechanic will shake out!
