Become a gladiator from the Middle Ages and be victorious in the great Colosseum!

Colosseum Showdown

Hello! This is Stage , the Colosseum Showdown development team!

I participated in the CCL (Creative Challengers League) for a total of 6 years from Season 1 to Season 6, and have personally experienced the entire process of game development.
 Based on the skills and concerns I have accumulated so far, I started this project to take on a more challenging genre.

Early on in the planning process, I was deeply fascinated by the concept of a 'gladiator' among the many games I've been enjoying recently.

I was particularly fascinated by the story of a single gladiator defeating the emperor after a fierce fight, like in the movie "Gladiator."

In this flow, the direction of this project, which centers around 'a story of a gladiator changing his fate after a fierce battle', began to take shape naturally.

We have reached our current form by gradually adjusting the direction according to the limitations of development manpower and changing game trends, and we are currently continuing work on balance adjustments and content expansion.

I want to show you more through this game and tell you the stories of different gladiators.

Colosseum Showdown is an action simulation genre game, and its core system is to allow players to feel the strategy and tension by watching the battles between AI-controlled gladiators rather than controlling the characters directly.

Before the official launch, we're releasing an Early Access version to get your feedback and support.

Although there are still many areas where it is lacking, we will continue to develop and improve its level of perfection.

Let me briefly introduce my team members:

• Developer M: Participated since Season 1, in charge of planning and development

• Developer K: Newly involved, in charge of balance

• Developer Y: Newly involved, planning and QA

Your small help will be a great help in completing the Colosseum Showdown. We ask for your interest and support!

Q. Where will the donations raised from Early Access version sales be used?
A. Your donation will be used for the following purposes:

• Purchase software and assets needed for game development

• Create a game trailer to attract players' interest

• Marketing costs to promote the game to more people

We are developing the game at home with minimal costs, but additional investment is needed to improve the quality of the game.

In particular, trailer production and marketing, which can influence the first impression of the game, are very important to us.

All funds donated will be used carefully to improve the game's completion.

Q. What rewards are there for sponsoring?

A. The nicknames of all those who supported us will be permanently recorded in the list of <All-Time Colosseum Winners> in the official release of the game!

Your support goes beyond simple financial support and serves as a great motivation for developers.

We will leave a message of gratitude in the game to the precious names that have been with us until this game was released.

Additionally, we will continue to share the development process through the following channels.

• YouTube Channel: We will upload gameplay videos of the game in development every 1-2 weeks (maybe more frequently depending on the developer's condition) .

• Stove Community: We plan to regularly release development logs through the bulletin board.

Every little bit of interest and support can be a great strength. Please watch over our journey together!

Q. When is the official release scheduled?

A. Our current goal is to officially launch the stove in August 2025 .

The development roadmap leading up to launch is as follows:

📅 April

• Plan confirmed based on DEMO version user feedback

• Focused development for overall UI & UX overhaul

📅 May

• Development of core content expansions such as training and reputation systems

📅 June

• Battle system expansion (AI battle polishing, additional characters and monsters)

📅 July

• Balance adjustments and focused QA

• Beta Testing and Feedback

📅 August

• Stove Platform Ready for Official Launch

Currently, development is being conducted in parallel with the main business, so there is a possibility that the schedule may change unexpectedly.

In such cases, we will quickly share the situation through the development log.

We sincerely thank everyone who has been waiting, and we will do our best to provide the best quality!

Q. Where can I play the game after its official release?

A. After the official launch, you will be able to experience the game through the STOVE platform.

We will continue to provide updates regarding the release schedule through the Stove community and official channels!
