Top-Down Arena Combat — Pick a Class. Master Skills. Survive.
Gladiator Survival is a top-down arena shooter. You choose one of ten playable classes (plus two secret classes), fight through increasingly difficult waves of enemies, and unlock powerful skill upgrades between waves. Solo, Co-op, or Versus — three modes, one arena.
Each class plays completely differently. A Necromancer walls enemies in skeletons while a Barbarian face-tanks everything. Learn your kit. Survive longer.
You vs. endless waves. Enemies grow tougher each wave. Clear a wave to earn a skill pick. See how far you can go.
Two players share the arena. P1 uses WASD + mouse, P2 uses arrow keys. Survive together — if both die, it's over.
P1 vs. P2 in a first-to-3-rounds deathmatch. No enemies — just each other. Different classes encouraged.
After each wave (in solo/co-op), all living players pause to pick a skill upgrade. You are offered 3 random choices drawn from your class's 3 branches. Each branch has 3 tiers — Tier 1 must be unlocked before Tier 2, and so on.
Choose Easy, Medium, or Hard before starting. Difficulty scales enemy HP, damage output, and spawn count. On Hard, enemies hit significantly harder and have more HP from wave 1.
Unlocked by defeating The Adversary (wave 100). Toggle it on the setup screen before starting.
Every wave skips straight to the next boss — no filler enemies. Waves go 10 → 20 → 30 → … → 100 → 110. Skill picks still happen between each boss.
Boss Rush is the fastest way to farm boss kills for Titles — and to practice the Horsemen fight.
Kill specific bosses to permanently unlock Titles. Equip one on the setup screen — it shows as a badge above your class name in-game and wraps your character in a matching glow ring.
