Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.29/day in the week to Sep 11 → 3/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

As things stand, I’d give the video game a 6. The concept is nice, but it’s currently very rough around the edges. The names of the ludus aren’t written in Latin but have absurd, made-up names like Maranello, which undermine the realism of Roman society. The game relies mainly on AI. Battles cannot be sped up or simulated, which makes the game repetitive (seven divisions is a lot when played this way). p.s: 25 euros is a lot to pay for a game in this state.
This is my first impression review.. I'm still in the first season 3 matches deep! I wanted to leave a review as to kind of what my thoughts were. At first, I had thought this would be like the old playstation 2 Game I had played about gladiators, Boy was I wrong! lol. But that didn't take from the game being fun- Multiplayer I had thought would be kinda you build up a house and can start matchmaking against other people, that was also wrong! But it doesnt detract me from the overall charm of the game I feel. This right now, feels like a beautiful balance of risk/reward. It isn't easy, and it feels alot like I would hope a good gladiator boardgame would feel, truly. You pick your ludus, and you start with a roster of gladiators. From there, you can buy/sell both gladiators and equipment, even make tactics(formations) to use in battles with aggro settings. The multiplayer seems like its going to be similar approach, management and players control other ludus'. Overall, I'm actually having a decent deal of fun. I think if you don't get caught offguard from what the game is, you can have alot of fun.

很好的游戏,玩起来还蛮不错。 但是,能不能把汉化搞好一点,这文本量也不大啊,属性都汉化不了嘛 其次,希望能丰富优化一下战斗的流畅度,我想看到的是酣畅淋漓的战斗,加一点花式和连招在观感上会好得多
Bom jogo, mas muito cru ainda, precisa de updates com melhorias, então aconselho que compre um pouco mais para frente!
Esta buenisimo si le dan carino al juego puede ser de los mejores tipo luchadores
Ich muss schon sagen für jemand der das spiel alleine erstellt hat ist es echt gut geworden! Es wird bis jetzt jeden tag dran gearbeitet was man im spiel auch direkt sieht. Ich hab richtig Spass bin auch schon in die 1. Liga aufgestiegen und jeder Kampf ist anders.
For the people leaving bad reviews. -for your guys to fight better they need to survive, they need to develop as a fighter. To maximize success assign a trainer early with a good perk and make your star fighter go through heavy training until he becomes strong and athletic and aquire the new perk. This game is hard but once you have a solid 5 stack to rely on you can swap in newer guys to put hair on their chest if they survive. It takes time to get the hang of but once you do you become Cesar.
No suelo escribir reseñas pero tenia muchas ganas de un juego de este tipo. Es un manager al uso, entrenar gladiadores y los ves pelear. Le falta variedad, es un early access, creo que va a ir mejorando con el tiempo porque tiene mucho potencial. ¿Los menús son mejorables? Si, es fácil dejarte un entrenamiento sin hacer porque no tienes ningún aviso de que ya esta disponible. Las lesiones y las muertes hacen que tu grupo de gladiadores este en constante cambio, al final la mejora acumulativa son las armas, el doctore y las mejoras del Ludus, eso es lo que te hace escalar, tener buenos gladiadores es importante... pero van cambiando, a veces muy muy rápido. Es complicado ir avanzando y intentar que tus héroes sobrevivan. Me falta algo mas de personalización en los gladiadores y tipos de ellos, realmente solo hay unos 5 y su variedad es por su procedencia, me gustaría algún rasgo que les obligara a ser distintos, me explico, todos los romanos tienen bonificación en espada y escudo... pues todos los romanos van igual. Que pudieras personalizar un Ludus seria ideal, no tener que coger uno de los predefinidos. Algún sistema de eventos estaría bien (siempre que no se vuelvan repetitivos), ofertas irrechazables, traiciones entre Ludus... son cosas que pueden ir implementándose. Vale la pena darle una oportunidad y confiar en que el desarrollador va a estar muy activo como antes de sacar el juego y va a ir implementando las cosas que le pide la comunidad.
This game is complete garbage. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this game absolutely deserves one. I honestly wouldn't even call it a real game. It feels like a complete mess and isn't even worth the trash it's made from. Ludus Magnatus is one of the most disappointing gladiator games I've ever played. The gladiators fight like brain-dead NPCs. There is almost no real strategy, the AI is terrible, and about 99% of the traits feel completely useless. As soon as you reach the higher league, you're suddenly matched against enemies that are several times stronger than your own team. Character progression feels horribly unbalanced, and no matter how carefully you prepare, your gladiators make unbelievably stupid decisions in battle. Many fights simply make no sense. What really surprises me is how this game has such a high rating. I honestly don't understand how so many people gave it positive reviews. It even makes me wonder if some of those positive reviews were bought. My biggest mistake was not refunding the game before the 2-hour limit. Now I can't get my money back, and I regret every minute and every cent I spent on this game. The saddest part is that the full release barely feels any different from the old demo. It still feels unfinished, frustrating, and poorly designed. Maybe the developers will improve it someday, but in its current state I can't recommend it to anyone. Don't waste your money. There are far better gladiator games than this. Stay away from this one.
I'm enjoying this way more than I should be. I was prepared to be disappointed, and came in with low expectations. Bought it a few days ago and already have 22 hours logged in. That's the sign of a fun game that you don't want to put down. One more round...... Sure some of the stuff is a bit wonky and people might complain a bit about the interface. Those same people probably don't have any friends. Its a good way to burn $20. I look forward to when they polish this up a bit.
