Bloodgrounds

Lead your team of Gladiators in turn-based arena battles, recruiting, training, and sometimes sacrificing them for glory. But remember, your Gladiators are mortal—if they fall in battle, they are lost forever. As a noble heir, manage your city by constructing and upgrading buildings to aid your quest for vengeance in this strategic and brutal world.

Gameplay

Command a team of gladiators in tactical turn-based combat, where every decision matters. Assemble fighters from different classes—physical, ranged, or magical—and train them to become champions. Level up their skills, equip them with powerful gear, and use deity abilities or underhanded tactics to gain an edge. Battles take place on a grid, requiring careful positioning and strategy. Permadeath ensures high stakes—losing a gladiator means they're gone for good.

Story

Driven by vengeance, you rise from a survivor to a wealthy gladiator trainer, plotting against the tyrannical Emperor who destroyed your family. Your journey takes you through brutal tournaments, where each victory brings you closer to the Capitol and the mad Emperor himself. Along the way, you must navigate deception, forge alliances, and manage your city, Marevento, to ensure your fighters are ready for the ultimate showdown.
