Gladius

Product Description:

Gladius is a tactical turn-based RPG from LucasArts where you manage a gladiatorial school, training your warriors to excel in bloody arenas across a fantastical world. You choose from two campaigns — as Ursula of the North or Valens of the South — and build your team into an elite fighting unit. With strategic battles, deep character customization, and an original setting, Gladius offers a unique blend of mythology, brutal combat, and strategy.

Three interesting facts:

1. Over 16 classes to discover
   You can assemble your team with a wide variety of units: from classic swordsmen and archers to mages, beasts, and mythical warriors. Each class has unique skills, weapons, and roles in battle.
2. Tactical depth without rushing
   Battles are turn-based, but feature an action-timing mechanic similar to sports games. By pressing buttons at the right moment, you can strengthen attacks — an extra layer on top of the strategy.
3. Co-op and versus multiplayer
   In addition to the extensive single-player campaigns, Gladius also offers local multiplayer where you can play the campaign with a friend or test each other's teams in the arena — a rare feature for a tactical RPG on console.
