Game was alright, dev had a meltdown and revealed they were a piece of shit and also crazy, claiming they were told by God to hate people who are different and fighting with every person in the community section of their game. Had a further meltdown and made a final community post named "DONE" and removed the game from the store. I don't need to play the game anymore, that's alright.

Colosseum: Road to Freedom came out 12 years before Domina and is a far better gladiator simulator. And recently We Who Are About to Die came out and just took Domina's concept and did it better in every way, and that indie dev isn't a piece of shit, good job.

Imagine being homophobic and transphobic, meanwhile basing your game off of the TV show Spartacus (and don't deny it, the game is full of references to the TV show, from using the phrase Jupiter's Cock to the flayed-man's face to character designs). Spartacus was a very politically forward show with gay main characters in every season who are respected as characters, even showing explicit gay relationships and sex, and also having a trans woman appear within the first four episodes.
