The combat in Gladius takes place in a turn-based arena. Players compete in various arenas to earn experience and level up their gladiator schools by engaging in combat and adding new members. Their ultimate goal is to become champions.
The following is an excerpt from the game’s instruction manual: “The narrative of Gladius begins just as two schools begin their chase of the Championship. The story chronicles the epic saga of two young heroes named Ursula and Valens. Ursula is the daughter of a barbarian monarch from the realm of Nordagh, while Valens is the son of Imperia’s best gladiator. Both of their fathers were gladiators. Transform yourself into one of these characters and embark on an incredible and treacherous quest to fulfill their destinies and prevent another catastrophic conflict from breaking out worldwide.
