Gladius - PlayStation 2

Gladius is a PlayStation 2 RPG from LucasArts built around tactical gladiator combat. The game follows Ursula and Valens as they recruit, train, and customize a school of warriors for arena battles across the lands of Gladius.

• Cleaned, tested, and guaranteed to play. The disc play surface is in nice condition.
• Turn-based gladiator-style combat combines melee weapons, powerful magic, positioning, and character tactics.
• Choose from over 100 characters across 16 different classes for building a customized gladiator school.
• Exploration takes place on a 3D world map with more than 500 encounters.
• More than 15 landscapes and dozens of gladiator arenas provide varied battle settings.
• Multiplayer modes include co-op, head-to-head battles, and quick exhibition games for arena competition.

The campaign centers on managing and improving a recruited team rather than controlling a single fixed party. Its arena-school structure gives Gladius a distinct tactical RPG identity within the PlayStation 2 library.
