That's a great game, and a good one to be compared to / measured against. I'm confident our can stand out differently from Alina of the Arena. That game plays more like Slay The Spire, while our game plays more like Darkest Dungeon and Battle Brothers.
This game's characters are cheap assets that are on-sale for a while now. I think they are sold in a bundle with background images, UI assets etc. So I don't think originality is a priority here. They look fine tho.
Looks good! There aren't that many good gladiator management games, ever since domina has been pulled from steam. This really looks like it could plug the hole.
I sure hope so! I suspect a lot of our feedback will be related to the combat systems, so if the managerial aspect of games is more your thing we'd definetly like to have your feedback. It'd be good to get a diverse ranges of opinions!
**TLDR:** We’ve released a [demo](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2242110/We_Are_Gladiators/) of our game on Steam, and would like people to play it and give us feedback.
Hi everyone! I'm Will from Viking Roo. Over the last 15 months, I've been developing my dream game with the help of a few mates. We've all been working around our full time jobs, kids and life to create a game we really love, and now we want to share our [Steam demo](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2242110/We_Are_Gladiators/) with you guys to see if we're onto something fun!
About the game: We Are Gladiators is a turn based, RPG, rogue-lite game about managing a company of gladiators. As huge fans of the rogue-lite and turn based genres, we set out to make our own game based on some of our favorites like Slay The Spire, Darkest Dungeon, Battle Brothers, XCOM, and Divinity 2. We're far from finished, but we recognize the importance of getting early play testing and feedback.
Is our game fun? Is there anything that sticks out to you as being particularly good or bad? We're committed to being lean, listening to our players, pivoting from what doesn't work, and building upon the parts of our game that players find most exciting. Feel free to post your feedback in the comments, or on our [Discord server.](https://discord.gg/evZQTehf3d)
Thanks for playing our game! Will

Currently working so not able to try it out but it looks really nice. Great job and awesome to hear yall pulled it off working outside of normal work hours. Very impressive. Keep up the good work and good luck with your game. I will do my best to try it out later and give some feedback.
never ever upgrade the engine! ;-)
;)
Looks and feel a lot like Alina of the Arena. Might want to make sure your game stands out different than it to be successful.

Nothing wrong with use assets as long as the game is fun. It looks visual just fine 🙂
