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/day in the week to Aug 26 → 1.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.
About
Get ready to re-learn how to fight. This game features a physics based combat system with directional attacks. It'll take time to master! Don't worry, gladiators exist to be sacrificed. You control your character fully, at all times, based on complex inputs - you will never sit there while an animation plays.
This game's combat will take practice: at first you will find it hard to even hit anything properly. To win and master combat you will have to slow down and pay attention, pressing random buttons in a panic will only send your gladiator to an even earlier grave. You will learn how to move, how to use momentum to hit HARD, how to hit targeted weak spots and eventually, you will make up your own moves and fight in your own style.
Take control of a gladiator with a single life, that you lead to an inevitable dea- I mean, to victory and glory! Fight from the Pits to the Arena into the Stadium, pleasing larger and larger crowds until you finally become a legend of the Grand Stadium.
There are many roads to becoming champion. Try different approaches and improvise through the randomisation to survive in the long run.
Deal with random events, choose your next matches, please the rich patrons, please the crowds, expand your school, setup your training regime, bribe for information, hire professional help... and much more!
Progress and purchase/loot weapons and armor. Master 8 weapon classes that all play differently. Spend hard earned gold and influence and outfit your character piece-by-piece.
Step into over a dozen arenas of different sizes and styles, each with random variations.
Fight in group battles or take on tense one-on-one duels that test your skills. How long can you last before your inevitable glorious death?
Starting backstories with different traits and goals
Permanent bonuses for each backstory's victory
Dynamic audiences that respond to your actions. Don't just win: entertain!
A ranking system with rewards (levelling up)
Character skills that grow as you perform the relevant actions
And much, much more!
Now into the arena, Aspirant!

Für eine Langzeitmotivation würde ich das Standardspiel nicht empfehlen. Es ist sehr zugänglich und die übersichtlichen Spielmechaniken sind nach wenigem Herumprobieren schnell erlernt. Grafisch ist das Spiel trotz einiger lächerlicher Animationen völlig ok. Trotzdem gibt es drei wesentliche Problemfelder mit diesem Spiel: 1) Die Schwierigkeitsgrade sind entweder zu leicht oder so schwer, dass Niederlagen oft nicht nur auf eigene Fehler zurückzuführen sind, aus denen man ja lernen könnte... Stattdessen bewirken manche komische Animationen und Bewegungen der Gladiatoren merkwürdige Treffer, weil z.B. Arme und zurückschwenkende Waffen wie Gummiseile plötzlich hinter der eigenen Schildverteidigung doch eine Hitbox treffen (so als wäre man ungeblockt in den ungeschützten Rücken getroffen worden)... Keine Ahnung ob das so gewollt ist oder ein Bug...Es ist jedenfalls gerade im höchsten Schwierigkeitsgrad lästig. Im leichtesten Schwierigkeitsgrad kann man das natürlich leicht wegstecken und den Feind auch mit nackter Hand zu Tode slappen... Für einen einmaligen Lacher ganz gut. Wems dauerhaft gefällt... Das ist dann eher seichte Unterhaltung. 2) Die Sandbox wirkt seelenlos. Die größer werdenden Arenen und die besser ausgerüsteten Feinde sind schon die größten Veränderungen im Spieldurchlauf. Dadurch ist schnell die Luft raus und abgesehen von den besseren Ausrüstungsgegenständen gibt es keine Motivation, immer weitere Kämpfe zu bestreiten. Die vom Spiel vorgegebenen Missionen sind zwar zum jeweiligen Charakter passend angelegt, langfristig jedoch kein Anreiz. Ich habe jetzt in 30 Spielstunden alle Schicksale absolviert, abgesehen vom "Wahnsinnigen" (und dem höchsten Schwierigkeitsgrad, in dem man einfach nur 16 Spielrunden überleben soll). Kurz gesagt: Es fehlt unbedingt Abwechslung oder eine Story in dem Spiel. 3) Unausgeglichene Waffen: Grundsätzlich kann man natürlich alles skillen und verbessern, sodass alles irgendwie auch funktioniert. Trotzdem wirken einige Waffen viel stärker und zuverlässiger als andere. Mit Schild und Schwert kämpft es sich meist sehr leicht, auch mit dicken Zweihändern. Schild und Speer z.B. sind hingegen tragisch unterpowert und haben durch komische Animationen (man versucht manchmal dem Gegner mit dem stumpfen Ende auf den Kopf zu tippen...) viel schlechtere Chancen viel Schaden anzurichten. Der Spielentwickler sollte sich auch darum bemühen, Wurfspeeren eine bessere Möglichkeit zum Zielen und Werfen zu geben. Mit etwas Übung kann man den Gegner zwar treffen und auch schwer verletzen, das sieht jedoch jedes Mal eher wie ein Zufallstreffer eines Säuglings aus, der mit Zahnstochern wirft. Insgesamt ist das Spiel seinen Vollpreis nicht wert und eher eine Enttäuschung.

I followed the advances of this game since it was on really early stages in a famous forum. Yeeeears ago! Loved the concept and dreamed with playing it somedaw. Played the demo when it came out, and it was everything i hoped for. With the twist of being challenging AF. I might not be a prodigy and certainly it costs me several runs to catch up with the game mechanics and physics. But hell it's been the most fun i had in a long time. I'm loving the graphics too. They are beautiful and on point. You don't need more of what it is. This is what cames out when a game is developed with pure love and dedication. No big corp interests or monetization BS Last but not least. This game is great if you are a dad with short time to play between dad deeds. The fights last only a few minutes which gives you enough flexibility to save and quit if duty calls.
Pretty good Physics based arena battler
This is a great break from my usual pvp and extraction games. Gameplay 10/10; love the unique maps, armor, ragdoll physics, gore, and challenging character victories. I would recommend this game to anyone who just wants to hack and slash as a gladiator. I will recommend using a controller though as the MKB controls are almost unplayable.
"We Who Are About To Die - Идущие на смерть" - это отличнейший симулятор гладиатора.....БЫЛ, где-то год назад. Автор совершил невероятную ошибку, попытавшись добавить куда больше физики конечностей. Неадекватные, дерганные анимации мозолят глаза с первых секунд ещё при ходьбе. О том, что происходит на экране во время сражений, даже говорить не хочется. Мне больно видеть эту игру в таком состоянии, она действительно заслуживала большего внимания, со стороны разработчика в том числе
It's a fun game with a small touch of jank. I liked the combat and the arenas are really interesting to fight in. Developer seems motivated to make the game the best it can be. My only complaint is that I wish the enemy AI was a little more clever.
I love this game more than I love pumpkin muffins so a lot 19/19
Only buy if on sale. On g a w d. Good game tho!
好玩,但是内容太少。 建议添加称号系统加成状态. 更多的负面状态选择,并且ai对手增强不光体现在装备上,还要打斗技巧上。 添加传承养成系统,不光继承遗产,通过培训接班人,增加技能。 性格添加相对的正面负面效果。 如果能加入自我锻造武器和装备系统就更完美。 打造的材料可以通过对抗各种非人形怪物获得。
tiene tremendo potencial si lo hacen co op y pvp seria un juegazo
