Gladiators of Rome basically puts you in control of being a famous master of gladiators, similar to Proximo in the big box office hit. Playing the role, you will be responsible for buying, selling, training and equipping slaves to do battle in the arenas that you visit throughout Rome so you can get rich and wealthy. Each slave will be proficient in one style of weapon, like blades, maces, or hammers, and will also have a couple of special moves to set up allies as well, depending on the type of weapon they are masters of. The hammer wielders, for example, can utilize a slam technique to stun all enemies around, which sets up the blade wielder to fire off a poison shot in the back of one of them.
