'GLADIMAKER: Auto Battle RPG,' a first-person auto-battler RPG developed by the indie team Team Cheonjinmanman, will officially launch on the global gaming platform Steam and the domestic platform STOVE on April 30.

The game follows the journey of 'Cheontius IV,' a gladiator with a unique appearance—most notably his red underwear—as he strives to become the ultimate champion of the Colosseum.

GLADIMAKER distinguishes itself by moving away from the quarter-view or top-down perspectives typical of the auto-battler genre, instead adopting a first-person perspective. Players experience combat through the eyes of the gladiator, feeling the heat of the Colosseum and the immediate threat of enemies, which provides a heightened sense of immersion and vivid visuals.

The core gameplay loop involves a cycle of training, visiting shops, and engaging in combat to progressively strengthen the character. Players must acquire various types of equipment—such as weapons, armor, and badges—and combine them to build their own unique character builds.

Maximizing synergy between the hundreds of available equipment items is key to victory, and the game is designed to offer fresh strategic depth with every match, as the available choices change each time.

Combining the unique sensation of a first-person perspective with the satisfaction of gladiator progression, GLADIMAKER will be available for download and play on Steam and STOVE starting April 30. Detailed game information and system requirements can be found on the official Steam store page.
