Overview

Step into the sandals of a Dominus in Dominus Gladiatus, a management and strategy simulation from Brain Seal Ltd and published by PlayWay S.A.

Released on November 5, 2026, this single-player title puts you in charge of a gladiator school in ancient Rome. You'll recruit fighters from the markets, train them, equip them, and send them into the arena—where every decision can mean life or death.

Highlights

  • Auto-battler combat: Watch duels and team battles unfold automatically after you've prepared your gladiators.
  • Perma-death stakes: One mistake can cost a gladiator his life, adding tension to every choice.
  • Full controller support: Play with a gamepad, including DualShock controllers, for a console-like experience.

Who It's For

If you enjoy management sims with a historical twist—like running a school, balancing resources, and dealing with permanent consequences—this is for you. The auto-battler combat means you focus on preparation rather than real-time tactics, making it accessible to strategy newcomers while still offering depth for veterans.

The game also includes blood and decapitation, so it's best for mature audiences.
