Gladius is a turn-based gladiatorial RPG where players try to build a championship gladiator school by gaining experience through fighting battles in the arenas and recruiting new members.
The story of Gladius starts as two schools begin their pursuit of the Championship. It follows the epic saga of two young heroes: Ursula, daughter of the barbarian king from the land of Nordagh; and Valens, the son of Imperia's greatest gladiator. Players become one of these characters and embark on a journey to fulfill their destinies to keep the world from heading into another disastrous war.
