On the surface, this looks like a cool, animated graph These days, [LucasArts / Lucasfilm Games](https://retroachievements.org/game/11614) is known for [Star Wars](https://retroachievements.org/game/8358) titles and their graphical adventure games, but they do have a few exceptions that don't belong to either, and Gladius is a fantastic example. -Gladius, a turn-based RPG, is built around a series of massive gladiator tournaments. Sure, there's a fantasy RPG plot in there, somewhere, but even it's about the tournament in the end. We're not just doing simple skirmishes: the finals demands you qualify via sub-tournaments and special events that span the host nation, most of which demand some kind of gimmick or restricted roster that will have you scratching your head about which of your customized gladiators to take, or how to use them. Winning under weird and colourful restrictions is the name of the game. The tournaments politely keep going after the finals, so should you wait until you win and come back with new, unique units from other regions? Some tournaments aren't even open until later in the campaign! +Gladius, a Turn-Based Strategy RPG, is built around a series of massive gladiator tournaments.

The tournaments politely keep going after the finals, so should you wait until you win and come back with new, unique units from other regions? Some tournaments aren't even open until later in the campaign! Besides a few named characters, your entire roster is under your control at all times, so it's up to you to decide whether to be good at everything or to custom-build your squad for a blitz to the end of the finals. Should you hire a new barbarian, or a wolf? How do you upgrade them, knowing they'll never get everything there is to get? Do you get a duplicate fighter? What about the secret units hidden behind sidequests? Do you make sacrifices to KEEP the secret units? Fantasy and historical humans rub shoulders with minotaurs, yeti, and skeletons, each with their own options and limits. The sheer depth of content will have completionists working at this one for a WHILE.
