Ludus Magna Demo

Thirty days. One Ludus. Your chance at glory.

Become a Lanista and lead a gladiator school in ancient Rome. In this free offline single-player demo, you have 30 in-game days to build your house and prepare its fighters for the ultimate challenge: the Primus.

Your school. Your decisions.

Recruit gladiators, buy and sell equipment, and hire a Trainer, Medic, Scout and Doctore. Divide your daily Actions between training, work, rest and arena contracts. Gold is scarce, injuries take time, and wages must be paid.

Shape your gladiators.

Develop their attributes, invest Discipline points and discover hidden Traits. Match weapons and armour to their strengths. Watch their Health, Morale and personal demands – your decisions carry consequences beyond the arena.

Choose how you fight.

Trust your preparation in Auto-Combat or intervene through quick-time events. Scout opponents, choose your contracts carefully and review the aftermath to understand what decided the fight.

Reach 300 Fame. Challenge the Primus.

Earn 300 Fame to unlock the Primus. Send your finest gladiator into a deadly QTE battle featuring word-based blocks. There is no mercy here: defeat means permanent death.

Your first Primus victory completes the demo objective. How much glory can your house claim before Day 30 ends?
