Latest Development Plans - Endless Mode And More
We wanted to share our latest plans for development of the game. We do have a roadmap on our website but as we said there, we might adapt it as we move along.
You can read about it in this post or check out a video where I’ll go through our plans. Video might be a bit longer but I’ll try to be brief about the main plan at the start. Then longer part of the video will be explaining the endless mode that we plan to make and we’d love to hear your feedback about that.

We had a lot of people asking if we’ll make some sort of endless mode for the game. This mode was in plan only after we finished all 12 arenas, but that will take some time as we need to add a lot of new gladiators, items, quirks and quests for each arena. So we decided that making another mode of playing sooner would be a better thing to do. Especially because each time we add new content this mode would be expanded with these new features as well.
[h3]But first we need to do few other things:[/h3]
[h2]Tournament Mode[/h2]
Once this is done, we’ll start working on the endless mode.
Here you will not have guild or wages to manage. You will start with a certain amount of gold and with permadeath turned on. After each few battles you’ll be able to buy new gladiators and items. Your goal is to win as many battles as possible, as they keep increasing in difficulty and get the highest score that you can. We also plan to connect this with Steam Leaderboards so you can compare your scores with your friends or other players.
We’ll also have boss fights, rewards and other things as you progress. In the video I explained how this mode will work in more detail. Since we still have other things to finish before we start working on this mode, we’d love to hear your feedback as this is still open for change.

[h3]But first we need to do few other things:[/h3]
- Add new gladiator quirks. This is a huge part of what makes the game fun and gladiators unique.
- Implement main quest chains. Currently the game has only side quests. Even though they are connected to the main theme of the game, we really need to add the main ones where you can choose one of the 3 factions to make allegiance and get deeper into the story. Each faction will reveal different things. Also growing reputation and choosing allegiance with one of the factions will allow you to purchase gladiators from that faction.
- Make gladiators inventory expand with their level instead of building upgrades. At the moment you can upgrade a few gladiator buildings early on, put a lot of items on those gladiators and beat the game with less tactics and more brute force. This also encourages you to play only with gladiators whose buildings you have already upgraded to max, instead of experimenting with new gladiators that show up after winning each championship. Since new gladiators will have only 2 item slots, they will alway be worse then the ones you already have. Now gladiators will have 1 additional slot per each 5 levels. Then when a new gladiator type appears in some later arena, you are encouraged to buy them as their number of slots will depend on their levels. Overall encouraging to try new gladiators, and to use more tactics instead of brute force.
