About the game

Mini Gladiators is a minimalist gladiator roguelite with bullet-heaven combat and satisfying ragdoll physics. Heavy hits can send whole groups of enemies flying across the arena. You control the movement while your gladiator attacks automatically, and your weapons and upgrades shape how you fight.

Build around crushing blows, piercing knives, or arrows that split into a swarm of smaller projectiles. Or put everything into one enormous arrow and see what happens. Combine weapons, upgrades, Doctrines, and Relics, and use the arena to your advantage.

Between battles, choose your next fight and decide where to spend your gold. You’ll need to think about what your build is missing, which enemies it can handle, and whether an unexpected upgrade is worth changing your plans for.

01 Combat

Satisfying ragdoll physics.

Send enemies flying into walls or crashing into each other to make room when the horde closes in. Force, mass, and speed determine damage and knockback, so your build changes both how hard you hit and how much chaos you cause.

02 Weapons & upgrades

Weapons that change with your build.

Upgrades and Augments change how your weapons behave, from piercing attacks to oversized projectiles. Combine them with Doctrines and Relics to find combinations that work together.

03 Battle choices

A choice of fights.

Different enemy groups put different demands on your gladiator. Choose your route with your current build in mind.

04 Crowd Favor

A crowd worth impressing.

The audience reacts to heavy impacts and entertaining combat. Earn Crowd Favor for a chance to receive Laurels after battle, then spend them on permanent unlocks between runs.
