Gods of Sand is a gladiator manager game with turn-based combat, drawing heavy inspiration from the Swords and Sandals series, but set in a darker and more unforgiving world. In this game, players are tasked with managing a ludus, or gladiator school, where micromanagement of both the school and the gladiators is crucial. The game challenges players to pay close attention to the economics of their business, requiring them to fight in various arenas to earn money and prizes. Training gladiators is essential to maintain a steady income and to restore the old, abandoned ludus left by your family.
