Arena Monarchy is a gladiator management game with a heavy focus on turn-based combat. Collect loot, theorycraft builds, upgrade your ludus and become champion!
Arena Monarchy is set in the same world as Dead Monarchy. This is a challenging game with no handholding, the inevitable mistakes that you will make will become part of the learning experience. This is a game that requires you to actually think, to plan several steps ahead and to come to terms with loss. It is also a game that costs about as much as a coffee but if you are willing to look hard enough, it is a game with a frightening amount of depth just below the surface.
