Crim Ludus is a 1v1 PvPvE arena game with realtime grid-based movement and top-down combat. Battle rival mages and monster hordes where positioning and strategy decide survival. Fight online or master the offline Horde mode.
Crim Ludus is a grim-dark PvPvE arena game where enslaved mages are forced to battle beneath a world ruled by demons. Fight in deadly arena matches that combine realtime grid-based movement, strategic spellcasting, and relentless monster hordes in a brutal test of positioning and survival.
In Crim Ludus, every tile matters.
Movement is deliberate and tactical. Dodge incoming spells, control space, trap opponents, and outmaneuver both enemy players and invading monsters in fast-paced arena combat where positioning is often more important than raw power.

Face off in intense 1v1 battles while surviving against growing hordes of creatures that threaten everyone in the arena. Use the chaos to your advantage, lure enemies into danger, or survive long enough to become the last mage standing.

Train your skills in a standalone Horde mode inspired by the final battles fought before humanity was driven underground. Survive escalating waves of monsters, choose powerful upgrades between rounds, and endure increasingly deadly demonic assaults.

Complete challenges and prove your mastery in the arena to unlock cosmetic rewards. Earn visual upgrades through your accomplishments as you carve your legacy beneath a world ruled by demons.

Enter a shattered world ruled by demons, where enslaved mages are forced into gladiatorial combat for entertainment. Explore grim-dark arenas filled with lava, ruins, occult imagery, and the remains of fallen civilizations.

Master a growing arsenal of spells and abilities designed around area control, timing, and tactical decision-making. Every fight becomes a battle of prediction, positioning, and survival.

The cunning prevail.
