EPIC Gladiator ROGUELIKE RPG! We Who Are About To Die!
We Who Are About To Die is a thrilling physics-simulated roguelike gladiator RPG currently in development. Despite the rich history of gladiatorial combat, few games have fully explored its potential, leaving We Who Are About To Die to stand out in a genre dominated by strategy games like Domina and the wacky VR brawler GORN. Set in a stylized version of Rome, the game blends brutal swordplay with a roguelite progression system that keeps players engaged through frequent, high-stakes deaths.
As an "Aspirant" — a gladiator seeking fame and glory — you’ll face relentless combat challenges. The game’s systems are unforgiving, but each death serves as an opportunity to learn and improve. Unlike most roguelikes, WWAD isn’t harsh on resets; each new character can benefit from investments made in the Gladiator school, which upgrades training facilities to reduce the cost and time needed to prepare for battle.
As you rise in fame, you’ll unlock new perks and permanent upgrades to speed up the growth of your next gladiator. The game teaches you not to get too attached to any one character and to always look forward, making each new run feel fresh and rewarding.
With challenging yet satisfying progression, We Who Are About To Die is an addictive, must-try experience for fans of action RPGs. Give it a shot — and check out my video.
