“This game is pretty sweet. It's fun. The campaign is cool and replayable but the tournament mode keeps me hooked. It seems like there is a strong meta but I wish that, seeing how there are a ton of gladiators, there was…”

“This is a "get it on sale" recommend. Gladiator Guild Manager is an autobattler that plays almost like a turn-based strategy. It isn't one of the push-your-luck or engine-builder types. You won't be rolling dice for…”
“Looks really hard at first. I liked the challange.”
“fun loop. pretty casual on normal”

“If you’re looking for a deep tactical manager, look elsewhere. While the initial few hours are addicting, the 'strategy' quickly devolves into just finding the one or two meta compositions that work and spamming them.…”
“3/10 such a grind for almost no payout ive done the same thing soooo many times........... - ai is awful at times. had 1 level 9 VS 3 level 1's and my level nine lost cause he run back and forth after every 1 attack to…”
“It's fun but it's not very deep. Unbalanced and quirky. Expect very little quality of life (You will be dragging the same 10-12 characters on the board for EVERY battle in late game)”

“Fundamentally, I am just confused at some of the gameplay design choices: 1. The game doesn't really explain... anything. Which units counter which units, why you might want to upgrade buildings vs. buy gladiators, etc.…”

“Итак, все арены зачищены и могу сказать, что идея игры неплохая, но процесс довольно унылый и репетативный, особенно, когда все нужные герои куплены и одеты, просто ставишь каждый раз одних и тех же героев в одно и тоже…”

“This game is incredibly hard because I got attached to my gladiators but it's easier to buy new ones than it is to level them.”
“It's O.K., but for my taste it is getting to hard too fast.”

“OK, I slept on it and came back another day to try again.. I learned a few things and am enjoying the game past four-skull difficulty. If you have a lv2 gladiator and your other gladiators are lv4-5, you don't train it up.. it'll die in battle and earn 0xp. You just have to sell…”
— a player, Steam review · 67 hrs played“Honest review: Pretty good game, it has technically 3 different endings, and will take you about 4-5 hours to complete each. The story is silly. Its pretty fun and unique tactical game. I got it for free, so I'm going to say it is worth it. Would I pay for it..... I'd pay a…”
