Trailer coming soonAt the edge of the world stands the last arena. Its first gladiator planted her sword in the sand, and its light, the Edge, became every gladiator's power. Then the great powers of the world came for that light. Cerberus broke through the Gate and shattered the Edge, and every gladiator's skills went dark. Learn them again and fight your way back.
Gladiator's Edge is a fast arena battler built for your phone. Matches take a few minutes, every skill matters, and fights are won by timing and teamwork, not by stats.
Quick Arena 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 against real players, solo or with friends in your party, or against bots on Easy, Normal or Hard, even offline. Dodge telegraphed attacks, interrupt a cast at the right moment, stun the healer, save your defensive for the big hit. No gear and no stats to grind: every gladiator is equally strong for everyone.
Team up with three other players, or a party of bots. Every boss has mechanics to learn: dodge the breath, stand together under the meteor, break the rune, beat the enrage. Clear the Campaign on Normal, then prove yourself on Impossible, or pick your bosses in Raid Finder.
The Champion set can't be bought, only earned by mastering a gladiator: the outfit from its Arena lessons, the helm from its Raid lessons, the weapon from its Gauntlet Tournament. Climb from an Iron frame to the Edge and collect boss and Champion portraits.
A cinematic prologue that drops you straight into the fight, four Arena and four Raid lessons for every gladiator, a Gauntlet for every gladiator, and the Training Grounds.
A free guest account with no sign-up, and Google Play Games cloud save. Add friends with a code and queue together. No chat: a ping wheel says Help, Attack, CC, On my way or Danger. When too few players are online, bots fill the empty seats after about 15 seconds.
Build Rage with Dual Strike, Charge in, Bash a caster, then unleash Blood Rage and heal as you hit with Vampiric Fury.
Frost Bolt chills, Frost Nova freezes, Ice Shard and Frozen Orb shatter, and Glacial Tomb saves you at the last second.
Backstab to build Edge, lock a target down with Low Blow, finish with Coup de Grâce, then Vanish.
Healing Light, Radiant Shield and Holy Nova keep your team standing, and Last Light saves an ally from a killing blow.
Kite with Quick Shot, catch divers in a Bear Trap, Deflect their blows and Evasive Leap out of reach.
The team's shield. Smite stuns, Judgment strikes and heals at once, Sanctuary and Aegis protect.
From Kolossos, the Stone Guardian to Cerberus, the Three-Headed Warden of the Hellgate.
An ancient sentinel of living stone, woken by the clash of steel.
A tyrant of flame who rules from a throne of embers.
A phoenix that has died a thousand times, and never once stayed dead.
A necromancer who never fights alone. The dead answer its call.
Warden Varr and Hierophant Sael: "We swore to hold this hall until the end of days."
A wyrm of rot whose venom only grows stronger in the blood.
A dragon of the high glaciers. Nothing it freezes ever thaws on its own.
Three heads, three hungers: fire, frost and storm. One hound guards the gate.

The Edgelight
The chosen championGladiator's Edge is the work of one developer at Binary Brewery in South Korea: a long-time fan of MMO arenas and raids who is now a father of two, with five- to ten-minute breaks to play in. The game is built for those breaks: three-minute PvP matches and co-op raids that are easy to pick up and have a high ceiling.
It took three months and more than 200 late-night hours after a 9-to-5 job, working with Claude and ChatGPT.
The code was written with Claude Code and Codex, and the skill icons are AI-generated. The characters are KayKit's free (CC0) models, every sound effect and the music are synthesized by code, and the design, balance and testing are the developer's own.
