Our take on Age of Gladiators II: Rome
The bounce point comes before a fight: recruitment, staff, facilities, research, morale, injuries, finances, and equipment all factor into preparation. Players who want to choose a team and get straight to matches may hit a wall in the management work between bouts.
What is Age of Gladiators II: Rome?
Run a gladiator school in ancient Rome through recruitment, training, combat preparation, and financial management.
Scouts find prospects, while staff such as trainers, doctors, and blacksmiths support fighter development and equipment. Gladiators have generated physical attributes, classes, and personalities; their morale, injuries, fatigue, and changing physical condition matter when preparing for battle. Fights use 3D isometric, turn-based combat with different styles, abilities, weapons, and special equipment. Outside the arena, construct school facilities, research five branches, search the marketplace, buy property or businesses, and assign fighters to missions. Wealth, reputation, betting, and fight purses form part of progression across the empire, leading toward the grand coliseum in Rome. Each playthrough is generated differently.
