About this game
“The gladiatorial school embodied the entirety of gladiator life. It was managed by the Lanista, often a former gladiator, who oversaw the daily activities and operations.” LANISTA: Shadows and Dust is a classic-inspired tactical roguelike that mixes ancient Roman history with a pinch of post-apocalyptic bloodsports .

It is your duty to train , equip and manage your Gladiators in order for them to rise above the competition, as you dictate their actions even during combat. Through the power of coin , influence and strategic prowess , your goal is to command your fleshy pawns as they hack and slash their way through the daily (and deadly) fights at the arena, and attempt to overcome the mighty Tournaments that represent an opportunity for glory, as well as your next meal. As your Gladiator grows in power and fame , you will be presented the opportunity to participate in deadly Tournaments . A mere 10 of these events are what stands between you and eternal glory, with each Tournament re…
