An economic strategy developed by the independent team at DolphinBarn studio. The players' task is to manage a gladiator school during the golden age of Roman Empire. They buy new warriors, prepare their training, and provide them with proper equipment (weapons, armor) to finally put them on the arena. Fighters can use various fighting styles, so it is possible to create specialized gladiators. Finding the balance between expenses and earnings is the key to success, and taking advantage of a political situation and sympathy of influential people helps as well. Domina offers various types of battles – some based on fair duels, others made to hinder our warriors as much as possible. All of this is presented with pixel-art visuals, complemented by a fitting soundtrack.
