With much love, I am happy to say: after 7 years of solo development We Who Are About To Die is OUT NOW!
Fight & strategize your way through spectacles and arenas -- rise from lowly slave to Grand Champion and earn your freedom. Or... die trying. This Gladiator RPG Roguelite features in-depth career management and a unique physics simulated combat system. To those who are about to die, I salute you!
Support Pack and Bundle!
At request - the game has launched with a fully optional supporter pack that includes soundtrack, illustrations, concept art and development screenshots, which you can buy in a bundle together with the game. This pack does not affect the game at all - to be clear. It is only for people who wanted to go the extra mile and support the development of this game with a little extra.
Roadmap, FAQ, Bugs and more
Be sure to check out the roadmap of early access, which outlines where the game is headed roughly. You can find it at the bottom of the steam about section, in the main menu of the game and in the steam events.
Check out the FAQ in the discussions if you have any questions, it may be covered!
Bugs, issues? Report them in the official discord (link on the store page) or in-game via F1. I will be squashing bugs in the coming weeks and doing my best to create a game that is as smooth and polished as possible even in early access.
Other questions, feedback, suggestions or just want to share some love - join the discord or drop a message in the discussions! There's a very high chance I will read it.
Want to go the extra mile? I am self published so I still rely on word of mouth. Tell your friends about the game, drop a link in a discord, tell a streamer who might be interested, or whatever you feel might work.
This has been 7 years coming - I have literally dreamt of this moment my whole life, but in many ways its just the beginning.
Now what are you waiting for, Aspirant? Into the arena with you - regular sacrifice is needed.
To those who are about to die, I salute you!
